Sky Sports commentators Martin Tyler and his hapless wind bag sidekick Andy Gray (above), both made Mikel Arteta based puns whilst commentating on Sundays Everton v Hull City big match spectacular Super Sunday broadcast.
After a series of accurate statistics delivered by the consistent Tyler, workmanlike Gray grew increasingly agitated and had to resort to his stock phrase of ''I dunno Martin, we'll have to let Richard and the boys look at that decision at half time''. But as the impressive Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta started to take control of the game both men went silent on their microphones, instead choosing to write the perfect pun or clever wordplay.
Tyler was unsurprisingly the first to deliver his effort while Gray was still struggling to get the top off his pen!. Arteta was the player both men were concentrating on as the focal point of their puns, and as he scored his second goal in the last moments of the first half, Tyler went with the unusually poor ''Andy, you could say he's the guy who puts the Art in Arteta!?!?'',....after a few seconds of silence....... Gray panicked, and leap in with the controversial ''Martin he's terrorising the Hull defence like Eta terrorise Spain.....so you could say he puts the Eta in Arteta!!.....and he's Spanish so it works on that level as well!''.
Tyler then congratulated Gray, saying ''Well done Andy, that's one of your best puns ever, and in a pressure situation...... how are you going to follow that up?''. Gray responded with ''Dunno Martin, I'll let Richard and the boys analyse my performance at half time''.
