Hats off to the Guardian for their study of Clive Tyldesley's commentating performance during the Bayern Munich v Manchester United game on Wednesday. Their analysis confirmed what all ITV viewers that night might have already suspected. "Number of times Clive insisted before kick-off he would `try not to mention the 1999 final too often' - 1. Number of times Clive reminded us about the 1999 final - 21."
