Owen Hargreaves' Commentary Slammed on Twitter After Manchester City - Barcelona Clash

Published on: 01 November 2016

Owen Hargreaves is not the most popular co-commentator in world football, particularly on Twitter where fans have criticised his remarkably dulcet tones.


BT Sport viewershave bemoaned everything from his unique accent to his lack of insight into the game.

This is an astonishingly good game, and Owen Hargreaves couldn't sound less engaged if he tried. Odd bloke.

Has Owen Hargreaves swallowed a morse code machine? Word word word dot word word word dot.... Terrible co-commentary #ManCityBarca #ManCity

"Possession is overrated" says Owen Hargreaves.

What was the person who decided to give this man a lucrative television contract smoking?

Owen Hargreaves - stop being greedy and choose one, normal accent. You can't combine 5 and chop and change.

Not the most positive feedback then.Hargreavesincessant use of adjectives has also been noticed. His 123rd use of "terrific" on the night sent some viewers over the edge.

If Owen Hargreaves says 'terrific' one more time....... #MCIFCB pic.twitter.com/Rerv1GxE0U


Owen Hargreaves has said "terrific" so often that it doesn't sound like a word anymore #UCL

Maybe BT Sport should take note of the general reception for the unfortunate Hargreaves and reconsider including him in almost every game they show.


Having said that, there was some positivity for the former Manchester United and Bayern Munich player's work. Although it did take an almost endless search to uncover what seems to be the only favourable comment from Tuesday night's game.

Owen Hargreaves is a great Co commentator #btsport

If Hargreaves were to see this Tweet he would likelythink it wasterrific. Let's hope for his sake he doesn't type his own name into the search bar for something to do though.
