Having watched roughly 7 hours of football over the weekend, I feel like there's almost too much to discuss. Are Aston Villa more lucky than good? Will Chelsea's comeback really be a turning point, or was a narrow victory over Stoke further proof of inner problems? Is this the worst title race in terms of quality for quite some time? Can van Persie be considered the most valuable player in the league right now? What are Man City playing at by trying to sign Bellamy? Would Kaka moving be a good thing or a bad thing in the grand scheme of things? Does this current Barcelona squad have the potential to be the best club team ever? Does Messi have the potential to be the greatest player ever?
I may get to discussing some of these issues over the coming weeks, but there is one major talking point that demands attention above the rest. One issue that manages to rise above even the ongoing Kaka saga. And that issue is...How good a commentator is Ray Hudson?
You may never have heard of Ray Hudson before. He played most of his football in America, and spent some time coaching there too. However, what he did in the past is irrelevent. What he is doing now is all that matters, and what he's doing now is tearing me apa...
Not quite. Right now Ray Hudson works as a co-commentator on GolTV. I don't know much about GolTV, but I do know that you can pick it up on TVU quite clearly (and I assume quite illegally also) if you're interested in watching La Liga games. Trust me, it's worth it. Not just to see the wonderful Barcelona strut their stuff, but to hear the absolute gold dust that comes ouf of Hudson's mouth.
I love watching Barcelona play as much as the next guy, and I've made no secret about the fact that I think Lionel Messi is the best player in the world. But Ray Hudson takes it to a whole new level. I can't find anything recent on Youtube to prove my point, but here's a clip from a while back which does as much. Just listen to his disturbing noises as Messi dribbles towards the goal. ** shudder **
As much as he loves Messi however, it seems one Juan Roman Riquelme has gripped Hudson's heart as much as he has gripped mine. Watch these two videos for confirmation:
Riquelme Love In Pt 1
Riquelme Love In Pt 2
(Hudson actually calls him "Romy" in the second clip, which ends on the rather homoerotic note of "...he gets seduced by this..."
Finally, here's an assortment of clips -- mainly of Romy it has to be said -- which basically sum up the man, the myth, the legend that is Ray Hudson. And if you think these are isolated incidents then trust me, tune in to GolTV and you will hear otherwise. The man churns this stuff out ad nauseum, and I for one can't help but love him for it.
God bless you Ray Hudson, you commentator sent from heaven on a silver altar carried by a Jedi Knight...no wait...a Templar Knight.
