The lazy pundits thread

Tony Cascarino and Dean Saunders on with Jim White on Talksport earlier.

Discussing Celtic match tonight for 5 minutes, then at the end White asks for a prediction, Cascarino (a former Celtic player) asks are they home or away tonight?

How about a bit of research Tony, no? Even have a newspaper or some sort of app or webpage with tonight's fixtures in front of you when discussing them?

Saunders then said he played at Celtic Park once and you can't hear yourself when you're on the pitch such is the noise from the stands, and the Moenchengladbach players won't know about that.

Yeah, because the noise levels and atmosphere at Celtic Park on a European night are never ever mentioned Dean.

At half time tonight, Dunphy slates Barca and states that Messi is in decline. Less than 25 minutes later, Messi scores his third of the night and sixth goal in two Champions League matches this season.

He really does just make it up as he goes along doesn't he?

Eddie Howe is Dunphy's latest flavour of the month. He should be managing United and England

Someone needs to also point out to him that this United squad is the most costly ever assembled in football history. They've thrown hundreds of millions at it.

If it was 10 years ago it'd be Paul Jewell

That Giles-Jewell debacle was a bizarre period. Giles' only reasoning was because he was ultra-conservative in his interviews and he kept Wigan up. I remember the day well when they stayed up. It was only because Sheffield United couldnt hit a barn door against them.

So basically he wanted Jewell because he never said anything controversial and because Danny Webber & Co were sh*te.

Why do people listen to him really , ohhh his real name is Coco in case you didn't know .

Got the Chelsea prediction badly wrong but I think this is probably the best time for United to play City as they'll be fired up after that embarrassing defeat on Sunday. If I was a City fan I wouldn't fancy playing United away after they had a bad result. You can argue confidence will be low and United have a porous defense but I'd expect them to give City a tough game. Could well go into extra time.

I'd have City favourites but not clear ones either for this tie.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

That old cliche.

Do you really think Zlatan, Pogba, Martial etc give two f**ks about the League Cup?

Not to mention the laughing, joking, hugging etc after the game with the Chelsea players at the weekend?

I'm not picking on United solely here btw, the days of "being fired up" for the majority of players at the highest level are over unfortuntely, I see it with Sunderland players on a weekly basis they really don't give a f**k Dead

You would see a player from Luton Town being fired up to play Man United in a Cup Tie, but if you think Nolito or Kompany are fired up to play a group of lads they go for dinner and drinks with on a regular basis you would be very mistaken.

If it were a Championship League Quarter Final or a League decider I would say "yeah, they probably would be fired up" but a League Cup tie? No chance
