The latest edition of Four Four Two carries a feature on Danny Murphy's greatest games. It is necessarily a compressed item featuring just four games, none of then at Charlton (56 appearances, seven goals).
Listening to Murphy drone away commentating on Spain versus Austria, I uncharitably thought that his former recreational habits might explain his nasal tone. But then it occurred to me that this may be what Scousers trying to doing RP sound like.
But then the King of the North doesn't sound like that. But then he read English at Cambridge and married a Dutch aristo.
Compering the programme was Kelly Cates who has a curious strangulated voice which may be an attempt to mask a Glaswegian accent as well as a Liverpool one.
Both Danny and Kelly have seen their relationships break up, so perhaps the World Cup could bring them together? Danny would then join football aristocracy as Kelly is the late Sir Kenny Dalglish's daughter. But then I remembered that Kelly is in a mocked up studio in Salford and Danny appears to be perched at the top of an American football stadium.
But is it really Danny or an avatar created by AI? It would be quite difficult to replicate his dismal tone, though.
