This thread is really for all those memorable James Allen moments and how much we all feel James Allen is a better commentator than Jonathan Legard . Please dont disrespect the legend that is James Allen

Who can forget Hungaroring 2006. What a closing lap and tbh who actually cared that it was Jenson's maiden F1 victory as the commentary was absolutely excellent

It would help if you could spell Legard right first

MY OH MY He's A Demon Samurai!

[GarethStr]

Changed, it's just other people have spelled it with a d so I got confused

I never had much time for James Allen as a commentator, however his blogs are good

Legard is OK. Eddie Jordan is another matter.

If you had a choice of either Eddie Jordan or James Allen doing F1 coverage, who would you choose? If I had a choice of which of these two *had* to be on F1, I'd actually choose James Allen

[McLaren Fan]

As would I. In fact, if James Allen didn't shout so much and was not so biased, he'd have been alright.

Legard is okay yeah, he adds a little excitement here and there but Eddie Jordan is cool in my books! i am a Eddie Jordan fan i don't think i should have read his book now

Jordan is cool, he adds the insight of being a team owner into the mix, and not just what it is like for a driver. It is a team sport afterall

I agree Jordan beings a unique perspective and the chemistry between the three presenters is very good. Get James Allen in the commentary box and it would be perfect! So what if he was a bit biased? He never actively hid the fact he likes Ferrari/Hamilton. It never impacted on him doing his job and that is all that counts. He gave credit where credit was due and was very fair throughout to other teams and drivers.

I hope some fair minded TV exec gives him a job back in the commentary box one day.
