[Rant] Are the English commentators massively annoying or is it just me?

Honestly I can't stand their voices, especially the matter-of-fact way that they agree with each and every call of the referee. The ref can do no wrong in this game, whether its a free kick for an accidental body bump or a yellow for the tiniest of ankle touches. Meanwhile my players are getting flipped, tossed, and thrown off the ball left and right without a single call. At most I'll get a free kick very rarely or a 'play on' without a return to card the offending player despite every time the opposing team gets a 'play on' call the ref never fails to return to card my player. Its annoying enough as is, but having to hear a smug-sounding commentator agree with a ridiculous call takes it to Jar-Jar Binks level annoying. I'm honestly considering switching to the Spanish commentators because they're both more entertaining to listen to and I don't know the language enough to hear them agree, so i can at least pretend they're siding with me.
