    I always thought that Merson was an idiot, bluffing his way through life through his connections and his West ‘Am cockney twang.

    Turns out he’s a genius with 20-20 foresight. I guess we should apologise?

    No. Never. He is a complete moron whose comments if examined are rarely ever right. Spouts a lot of nonsense. Once in a blue moon by chance he may get something right. If these pundits are so great why do they not go into the management game ? So easy to sit on the sidelines and spout utter nonsense. If it was Clough or Graham and indeed the late and much lamented Jimmy Armfield who were pundits I would listen to them. That's because they have been there and done it and with success.

    This is how he describes us at the moment. "They're the team on a glass mountain with moccasin slippers on."

    What is he on?

    Well he certainly would have not written that himself!

    It's quite noticeable that proper journalists in general took a more measured approach to Silva's sacking while the ex-player pundits immediately slagged us off. Not all of course but generally that was the way of it.

    Well they are going to be more ITK and do some research - most ex pros couldn't careless about 90% of the clubs and just use the same old clichés when talking about them.

    If its a lower league team in the cup getting a result for example - "plucky x really raised their game etc" or one in trouble "they need something to turn - new leadership/luck"

    To be fair it's pretty accurate and quite funny. I wonder who he paid to write that sound bite for him

    I hated myself for doing it but I’ve just read merson’s grades for the transfer window. I’m not one for conspiracy theories and try not to have an inferiority complex about Watford and the clueless elitists (high profile overpaid pundits). But this bloke really is the hairy mole on the nipple of an otherwise attractive woman. He’s the halitosis on her that stops you from enjoying a kiss. Or, if you prefer, he’s the hair growing out of a man’s ears that is more plentiful than what’s left of his crown.

    What I’m saying is that reading his expert analysis has made a little bit of me die. He may be right, we had an average transfer window. Yes, he’s probably got the grade C about right. But the laziness with which he approaches the entire piece, from Arsenal to West Ham and everyone in between, is staggering. What a *****.

    “I’ve heard of him but I don’t know much about him”
    “I rate him, I really do”
    “I don’t get that one”

    FFS you can get more insight from talking to the drunk who no one talks to in your local pub - after he’s been refused any more drinks and is dragged out and propped up in the bus stop.

    And if you do read this pile of ****, be fully aware that the dismissive ignorance is both deliberate and spiteful. But also bear in mind that he’s very, very thick.

    A friend sent me these. Each said or written by Merson. I think he saw the phrase on the back of a beer mat once.

    What does that statement even mean? I’ve never understood poetry.

    I think Merson’s pundit career is on a glass mountain with moccasin slippers on.

    He used the phrase again today in his predictions for tomorrow's game....

    "They were the team on the glass mountain with moccasin slippers on; it looked like they'd never stop sliding"

    What once were just plain slippers have become ones of moccasin. Can’t accuse him of failure to evolve.

    A b&&&&y glass mountain wearing slippers too big for him!

    He should give us some credit, after all we are the epitome of a fashionable European club, so surely the moccasins we are wearing whilst sliding down the glass mountain would be Valentinos

    I can only put it down to alcoholism, he must drink himself into a coma each night and have killed so many brain cells by now that he forgets how many times he’s peddled that stupid saying. For somebody on the TV and in the written media with every comment preserved for all eternity, he can’t knowingly be repeating that stupid phrase that often can he?
