Pundits and Commentators

This much I know - only the English commentators  could (1) spend 70 mins convincing self that Chelsea are outplaying Barca 0-3 (2) have been telling us 12 months ago Hazard was in same level as Messi.........they’re not even playing the same game.....

Don't forget that this summer is World Cup glory....again!

Not strictly a commentator or pundit but apparently natalie sawyer has left sky, i can't cope, why ? Why ? Take jim white but natalie no, noooooooo

Top 3 Favorites:
1. Carra/G.Neville
2. Dietmar Hamann/Souness/Damien Duff on RTE in Ireland. Excellent. But RTE is very good to allow
    anything ti be said. The stuff that is said on it would get you sacked on Sky
3. Gerrard & Lampard on BT. Love the discussions they have about their playing careers.

Top 3 Most Disliked:
1. Thierry Henry - talks like he is a philosopher who has won everything in the game as a manager and not
    player. Makes no sense half the time.
2. Michael Owen - state the obvious Michael should stick to the horses in retirement.
3. Phil Neville - the least intelligent football mind on TV.

Carra was stupid to mention the Aussies taking the heat of his spitting escapade, and bringing it into the press again. Giving the gutter press another opportunity to bad mouth him.

Thought it was quite funny

The thought of Salah beating Kane to the golden boot is absolutely killing Martin Tyler.

Hard to believe he's still allowed to dribble his nonsense live on air. And that's not even mentioning just what a F***ing bore he is.

What is more hard to believe is how some posters on here can probably analyze a game a lot better than these ex professionals.

The fact some (no one on this forum) advocate De Bruyne to win ahead of Salah, after a record breaking season, show the bias in the media.

I'm not even sure it's bias mate.

Many pundits just follow the crowd and stick to an opinion.

It's been the common line in the media that De Bruyne should be player of the year for ages now and they don't seem to want to consider that might just be the wrong player.

Ooh garth crooks on the bbc website having a pop at Jürgen over the Mané 'penalty",  not sure if the big man will be able to sleep at night

F***ing w**ker talks about an apparent touch by McArthur on Mane and diisappears up his own arsehole in trying to convince there was no touch and Mane is a cheat.

All it boils down to is the ref missed the pen.

Garth crooks, just a cod eyed Marty Feldman looking tw*t.

Never heard of Marty Feldman so had to Google him, got to say Jimscouse, you are spot on

On a side note & off topic he was a very very funny English actor,if you've not seen it then the Mel brooks film 'young Frankenstein' is essential viewing.

Watched a YouTube clip there of Andy Grays show in Qatar. His guests were ex goalie Paul Robinson, Ok pretty standard. Who else I hear you ask...Peter Reid, Alan Pardew, John Barnes, Gordon Strachan.....Nah just little Harry Winks! Harry f***in Winks, he’s played about 4 professional games wft!!!

I still can’t get over Harry Winks oh my days

My biggest bug bear with English based pundits is how uniformed a lot most of them are. If I earned my living talking about football I would make sure I knew what I was talking about. I would study at least European, if not world football diligently. I’d read every article, watch every programme, listen to every podcast I could. I’d know about Naby Keita before he transferred to Leipzig never mind to us. I’d have numbers and stats coming out my backside.
I can’t remember who it was but just as a very small for instance someone on the tv this past week said “Andy Robertson last season was playing at the bottom of the Championship for Hull” - no he f***in wasn’t he was playing in the PL with Hull. Even our own Steven Gerrard quips after the midweek game with Citeh “Salah has dinked it in there with his weaker foot” - in case you’re blind Stevie Mo is left footed!
When you listen to a lot of the continental based pundits (and journalists too) they are informed and take what they’re doing seriously. Most of our lot just spaff whatever nonsense first comes into their head

Agree with all that mate except Didi - I think he talks some fightful sh*te.

Steve McMahon is just F***ing boss. He won't allow anybody to say a bad word about Liverpool Football Club. I still remember when he fronted Richard Keys because that hairy c**t dared suggest there was anybody bigger and better than Liverpool.
