Oh I find them utterly unwatchable. Far and away the most interesting element of the whole thing is the debate over which players should make the rosters. But that doesn't change the fact that teams fight over hosting the NBA one and actively avoid hosting the WNBA one. Both are awful basketball.

I'd have a bit more tolerance if it was an inexperienced or backup crew, too. But this was basically BBC's top women's football commentators. Rachel Brown-Finnis has been doing this a long time. It just sounds so amateurish when they're both consistent, but consistently different.

For reference, this comment was brought to you by virtue of Kelly Gago being Gah-go according to the commentator and Gay-go according to the colour analyst throughout today's Everton-Man City game. A couple of times early on, fair enough. The entire 90 minutes? Ridiculous.

Painful how we've been playing all of two weeks and every other line in this is some version of "we'd know more if X, Y and Z weren't injured".

Yeah, fair, and definitely an option. Depends on both how sure they are on A'ja, and how sure they are on Jackie. Losing either would be scary, but losing Wilson decimates your team where losing Young would be very, very bad.
