Ian Wright has been robbing a living as a pundit. The man can't even speak properly. I hate that trendy bar theme BBC use for their football studios. Dress code: Smart Casual (trendy shirt and tight trousers. No jeans or trainers allowed) Interaction: Informal (use nicknames and sh*te banter that isn't remotely funny) Posture: Informal. Hooking your arm around the back of the sofa-optional. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

How did I forget Ian 'Wrighty' Wright, the anti- Michael Owen, which should mean he isn't sh*t, but he is. It just means he is boring in the opposite way;brash, full of 'bantz' and as excitable as a puppy in a sock drawer. The c*nt's c*nt. Lee Dixon is a very decent pundit actually, not an entertainer, he is no Kerr, but a good reader of the game. Probably why his career was of a higher level than his ability, . ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

There is a horrible trend now of just getting in former great players and throwing them in as pundits, whilst ignoring the good pundits. Sky are awful for it. Recently with Thierry Henry (who just comes across as a bit of a weirdo) and also with their cricket and Golf coverage. For their cricket coverage it seems like the only criteria for doing test matches is being a former England captain. It's only going to get worse too. The likes of Gerrard and Rooney will probably end up getting jobs when they retire. Gerrard already has a gig with BT. A special mention for Cannavaro on ITV. Now that was awkward. |

I think Niall Quinn gets the award for this post. I think Graeme Souness wanted to actually physically punch him after the Chelsea vs City game. Before the game "Terry is still at his peak" Afterwards when he got subbed off "Hes passed it now" You could see the rage in Souness at the amount of sh*te he was talking

Honourable mentions to Lennon, Hamman, Sadlier and Dixon.

No mention of Hargreaves on anyone's list. Personally think he is terrible when talking about the premier league. It so obvious he doesn't have a great understanding of it but get him talking about the Bundesliga and he's brilliantly insightful. His knowledge of it is first class. he made a great documentary a few months ago about bayern. Well worth lookin it up as delves into the club and how it ticks.

There are plenty of bad pundits floating around these days, but what amazes me is that the worst of the bunch at BBC, Shearer, is also their lead pundit. He is just awful. Same with Sky, Henry is very poor and robotic on tv, yet he is their lead pundit now. The mind boggles. Kerr is the best analyst around. Brilliant insights and also has a sense of humour on tv.

BT are taking the complete piss with two co commentators and Howard Webb. They had the hugely informative 'Sav' and the surprisingly decent fruitcake Glenda yesterday. Glenda was having a few insightful tactical moments while Lily came out with beauties like "if Arsenal don't win here , against ten men and all the ball, I feel I will have to question their title credentials. Sorry Arsenal fans'. Not to mention Webb poring over ever foul 63 different angles to explain why a referee made the decision, or indeed made no decision at all. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

My head still hasnt cleared after listening to Andy Cole for the best part of 2hrs Spent the whole game telling us Gervinho couldn't cross and that Roma where clearly missing their main player - yes that 39 year old who can barely run Francesco Totti tonight Another great from him, "thats unreal work from Gervinho, great play" pauses for few secs "thats a great save from the gk" he literally described Gervinho getting past 2 players and hitting a tame shot that had less power than most farts. Think he managed to speak more than the main commentator which as a "co commentator" with no idea about 19 of the players on show is something uniquely special imo ------------- 1312 |

Ginola did a great interview a few years ago where he talked about the infamous 17 November 1993 game France v Bulgaria and how Houllier blamed him and how he brought him to court over it etc... That Newcastle team of 1995-1996 was one of the most entertaining teams to ever play in England ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

Gerry Armstrong: "If you don't hit the target, there's no point in having a shot", after Griezmann missed a free kick. A minute later, Falcao missed a penalty (hit it wide). By GerryLogic, Falcao would have been better passing. -------------

| Why do commentators say the flags up on the near side or on the far side? |

Because it lets you know which half of the pitch it is in. I can't see how clarity is a bad thing from a commentator. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Judging by what I have seen of him on Quest and today on Final Score, we have the new Garth Crooks. Why does every single pundit have to talk about football like they are talking about world hunger? It's supposed to be fun! Serious fun, but fun! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Phil Brown on fighting talk this morning - " are Ireland leaving the EU with us or are they staying in?" He got suitably sl*gged about it for the rest of the show.

He was dreadful on the EFL highlights again tonight, I hope he was pissed. The highlight was when he called Newport's FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough as 'eye-watering'. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
