Hi Alistair, how's tricks?

Think you're mixing him up with Tommy Cooper ;o)

Did the notlob game for MOTD didn't he?

Remember how he used to do retrospective commentaries on the end of season DVDs?

They were really odd.

Wasn't that more Andy Buckley IIRC? The video of the 2nd division season had a raft of them - on more than one occasion when the opposition scored at our place he came out with something really cheesy along the lines of "He enjoys scoring at Maine Road".

Alistair Mann's commentaries from the same season always seemed to come across as being done live, the ones sticking out being the 6-0 against Burnley and the play-off games against Wigan.

Alisair Mann definitely did it for at least a couple of seasons, I think it was the second division season or maybe the promotion season after that. Ithink the odd live game had real commentary but the rest was just tacked on for the video.

Alistair Mann is a rag ffs! He presents the United debate show on channel M (203) and refers to them as 'we'. I'm not too keen on him.

Those commentaries were done live because ITV showed highlights of those matches later in the evening IIRC.
