A thread pointing out comments by people paid to talk about football, and either a lack of research due to laziness or basic lack of knowledge of the game makes them say stupid things. 


"Kolo Toure isn't marking here at all for the CSKA opener" - Liam Brady last night

"If they finish bottom of the group that'll be two years in a row that Pellegrini has done that with City" - Andy Gray on Talksport this morning

Couldn't get over Chippy last night saying; "the viewers at home won't understand, but..." when talking about Mourinho and his behaviour in Spain, or something of the like. Unbelievably patronising.

Think I'm done with RTE now. It's an absolute sham.

I actually had to rewind it and give it a listen another 2 times. Honestly couldn't believe my ears. I can't remember ever hearing something so condescending coming from a pundit.

Another clanger for Charlie Nicholas LOL

Was asked to pick a best XI from using Man Utd and Liverpool players and the result was;
De Gea, Johnson, Rojo, Evans, Enrique, Carrick, Gerrard, Sterling, Herrara, RVP, Rooney.

No Di Maria? Embarrassed Glen Johnson? LOL

On Talksport again (surprise surprise) Alan Brazils breakfast show - Him, Danny Murphy and Tony Cascarino discussing whether Toure and Bony will start against Chelsea as they are now out of the African Cup of Nations. 

A simple bit of research and look at the group table would tell you that all teams in the group are tied on 2 points with 1 game remaining.

Talksport again, surprise surprise.

Betting man from Coral who's on every morning was talking about odds on the West Ham game tonight. Micky Quinn asks blankly, who are they playing anyway? A good point by the coral man - do your research.
 
Then, when discussing Champions League betting the Coral man asks them who their tip is for this years tournament and says Brazil called it correct last year with Real. Brazil says Bayern, Quinn is asked and said no I think we are due an English winner of this competition, Brazil says well City are bound to look the strongest out of the English 4, Quinn says no I could see Jose giving it a good go.
He was amazed that United weren't in the CL this season when corrected on this, and he wasn't trying to be funny either or taking the p*ss.
 
This is a man paid money to talk about football on the radio.

Jeff reminds him Graham Hunter(?) really rates him.

"Well its a fantastic signing"
