I'm going to start this thread with a couple of Ray Hudson gems from the Barca v Solcedad game and the Glen Davis call on Juninho's goal:

"Defending this team is like trying to nail jello to the ceiling." (Ray Hudson on Barca)

"He's the flux capacitor. The rest of the team is a De'Lorian and he's the flux capacitor." (Ray Hudson on Messi after a goal)

"Juninho hit that with no regard for humanity." (Glen Davis Galaxy v Flounders)

"Buxom. That was buxcom and we like buxom." (Ray Hudson on Messi's second goal against Sociedad)

I was going to leave this one out, but I had to include it. I was laughing too hard.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ray Hudson, any great goal resulting from a great build up, just before the shot.

"Twisting and shaking, like a Turkish stripper" Hudson on Messi.

"He moves like smoke coming off a cigarette" Hudson on Riquelme.

Fios doesn't carry the English-language version Gol TV. I really miss that guy.

"Gol-gol-gol-gol-ol-ol-ol-ol-oui-oui-oui-oui-si-si-Henry-Henreeeeeeeeee!" (Spanish La Liga announcer RM v Barca 2009)

"Kovalenko ... would stab his grandmother in the eye for another bowl of porridge." (Ray Hudson when Dema was with the Red Bulls I think Gen Buck posted this someplace)

As much as I can't stand Jack Edwards, "That's why he's here..." stands out as a classic.

I love Ray Hudson (He's a Geordie you know).

My personal favorite was Max Bretos when Bennie Feilheiber scored a rocket of a shot from outside the box that proved to be the winning goal in the US v Meh-hee-coh Final of the 2007 Gold Cup:

Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Bennie!

And his Jets!


Fuck Mexico.

I have Fios and Gol TV and the only thing that isnt English are the commercials, all the games are in English.

Really? Shit. Maybe the offerings changed or are different here in Rancho. But, I do have to pay extra for it if it is. I should check it out.

Well, something really special has to happen in order for me to forget Andres cantor's call on Landon's goal against Algeria. Everything else just seems dull. Biased perhaps but that call still sends shivers down my spine. This is something that will never be taken away from Lando, EVER. A lot of good those French classes did in high school. Enjoy. 2014, here we come!!!!

This was from Beckham's last match for Real Madrid when they won the league. They kept showing Tom Cruise in the stands...

(Ray Hudson) "And that's why you see those beautiful tears of a man whose heart is bursting, Iker Casillas..."

(Phil whatshisname) 'Tom Cruise?'

(Ray Hudson) "WILL YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT TENNIS PLAYERS AND STUPID HOLLYWOOD ACTORS, PHIL!! IT'S THE GLADIATORS OUT THERE MAN, NOT TENNIS PLAYERS! Tom Cruise! Prick...If he smelt a soccer jockstrap he'd faint dead away"

From that same match...

"The tears... The tears of Casillas! He's crying tears the size of pineapple chunks!"

Ray Hudson is my homeboy.

I was wondering how long it would take. I had it cued up myself if nobody else was going to post it. Well done! :cheers:

Just now on Sports Center, from today's Barca match...

Ray Hudson: "...he's running like he has a lobster down his shorts".
