Banal commentator

Listened to BBC Radio London commentary on last night's game via Palace TV, Emma Jones 'commentating'. We often seem to get her commentating on our games and she is dreadful, but last night was the worst yet. Mateta nearly scored after 2 minutes, but she hadn't even mentioned the game had started and was still droning through the line-ups. Throughout the game, the listener has no idea what's happening - who has possession, where on the pitch the action is taking place, substitutions. Minutes go by with no mention of what's going on!
She clearly thinks she's some kind of stand-up comic, burbling away about the food at half-time, or the motorway services on the way to the match, and laughing at her own empty nonsense. And when that stream-of-consciousness runs dry, she just keeps repeating stuff she has pre-prepared about how many games we have won, or how many Southampton have lost. Meanwhile, somewhere out there, there is a game of football going on.
She obviously thinks she is a sparkling personality brought on to entertain us. In reality, she is an inane empty barrel. Am I the only one who finds her intensely irritating?
Those were exactly my thoughts too.
