ITV Sports team of presenters, pundits and commentators went way overboard on Wednesday night in lavishing huge amounts of praise on Barcelona's pint sized striker Lionel Messi, before arguing over who loves the little play maker more!?!.
The Argentinian forward (short) capped another great performance by scoring two goals against the German team Stuttgart, in addition to goals scored by Pedro and Bojan, but it was the 'over the top' compliments the ITV team put on Messi that really caught the eyes and ears!.
It started before the match when the usually unflappable presenter Steve Rider (above) 'went all coy' when pundit Andy Townsend mentioned Messi's name in the pre match chat. Rider said ''He's not here is he?....how does my hair look?...I'm not gay but I love that little genius!''. Rider went on to say ''Andy, not only is Lionel the best player on display tonight, but do you think he likes me?........I mean my presenting style!!?!!'' he added when Townsend (shiny) raised an eyebrow at what the former BBC man had said.
When Messi scored his first goal in the first half, the general opinion amongst the fans and viewers was that it was a very good goal, but co-commentator Jim Beglin 'went too far' with his reaction, as he could be heard having a slight orgasm on his microphone and afterwards saying ''Wow!..., that young Argie really knows how to use his feet doesn't he.....he's better than awesome....he's feckin awesome!'' later adding ''that's the best goal ever!''.
Messi's second goal had Beglin and his commentating partner Clive Tyldesley arguing about which one loved him more. Beglin again made his feelings clear by saying ''He's the best player ever, that was the best goal ever.......I really do love him Clive!''.
''Yes, but on balance I appreciate his lovely personality as well as his lovely little feet....It doesn't matter how small they are as long as he knows what to do with them!'' said a swooning Tyldesley before adding ''And if he saw us...he'd definitely pick me over you Jim''. He then totally lost his cool and shouted ''I LOVE YOU LIONEL'' which Beglin followed with ''I LOVE YOU MORE LIONEL!!.......he doesn't love you, he doesn't even know what your favorite colour is!?!''.
An ITV spokesman after the match said ''Yes its true, our football team do tend to go overboard with compliments.... especially when talking about Messi...as great and lovely as he is!, but at least we don't miss goals anymore....its baby steps...one thing at a time''. ''Rome wasn't built in a month...it took ruddy years'' he added.
