"Stupendous!"

The type of people who think it was Tyler are the same thundercunts who don’t acknowledge you when you give way to them whilst driving. Who’ll correct you mid-sentence if you say something like “less” instead of “fewer”. The type of people who will spend time on their mobile phones in the cinema. These are people who still call Diego Maradona a druggy cheat. They’ll spend time on the Oasis thread telling everyone how simple their songs are and that anyone could play them. The type of people who say “Can I get…” at a food counter. The bastards will get served before you at the bar despite knowing full well that they were there after you. If you ask them if they prefer Chinese or Indian food, they’ll say “Mexican”. Probably Star Wars geeks who don’t mind sky blue shorts on a City home kit. They certainly won’t “Poznan”. They enjoy WWE a little too much for their age and say “heels and turns” instead of “goodies and baddies”. Sat there in a corner of a boozer nursing a pint of Wizard’s Monkey Spunk, tutting and rolling their eyes at anyone who asks for a pint of Cruzcampo.

Reading your post, I thought I'd found a new best friend until your last sentence - Cruzcampo! I roll my eyes in your general direction sir.
 
I've said it's Quinn from day one.
Also whenever Sky use it for promo or ads, they never, ever leave "stupendous" on the edit. Including, may I add, the commentary in Tyler's highlight reel, on his retirement.

The confusion is because if you have it in your head who says it before you hear it your mind can see both outcomes.

I hear Tyler naturally but I can easily convince myself it’s Quinn.

The completely different voice afterwards voids the comma.

If you listen to the original version, not only does it sound like Quinn, you can also hear Tyler say his bit at one volume then "stupendous" sounds like it comes from further away at a lower volume.

That's because as well as being an esteemed and well-loved sporting analyst and commentator, Martin Tyler was an extremely proficient ventriloquist, a talent he perfected during his early music hall and variety career.
