Worst Nothing gets my forehead veins bulging more than that tight trousered **** Jamie Redknapp with his ridiculous square ended ties. If I had a pound for every time the wife rolled her eyes at one of my vitriolic rants that proceed his smug “my life is great and I can sit about getting paid to chat 8ollocks ‘cos my Dad’s a Manager” face appearing on Sky then I’d be rich enough to rebuild the East Stand. Without using an immigrant workforce! And have you seen him in that Wii advert? “Go on Mawio” You can see the contempt in his face when the old man beats him. Tw4t. He makes Andy Gray look sophisticated. In fact if I was locked in a room with Jamie Redknapp and Vernon Kay I’d struggle to decide who to punch first. Best In the absence of Brian Clough and Martin O’Neil it’s got to be Lawro. Yes I admit his taste in shirts is questionable and he’s as camp as Santa’s sleigh but there’s no doubting his punditry skills. Quick, concise and tells you how it is – talks a sensible game, a bit how he played.
Andy Gray is a c**t, thats about my only view on football pundits. If you want to see everything Gerrard does in a match repeated a few times or Lee Dixon shading the areas the defenders should have been for a goal,m.o.t.d is the program for you
I don't actually mind Redknapp, think he's quite entertaining, especially when arguing with Ruud Gullit. Always enjoy Lawro just for his gravity defying hair and stylish shirts, whilst Hansen can be funny every now and again. As for the worst? Well anybody who has ever worked on an ITV football show.
They always just shade in the area which have no players in. Andy gray = worst, bullshitter, nonsense, grade a ****
The Reverend Gavin Peacock was up there and how can anyone not have mention Garth Crooks. My favourites were Martin O'Neil and Gordon Strachen, both seemed to be taking the pi$$ all the time.
I actually think Andy Gray is an excellent pundit. I hate Mark Bright, Alan Shearer, really hate Lawrenson but Dion Dublin is the biggest clueless feckwit I have ever heard.
:dismay: how can you say that about Pleat, the only ray of entertainment on ITVs football coverage. Whenever a player has a good match: 'When i was at spurs i looked at signing this guy' :]]
i think shearers alright. especially went sat next to the atrocity that is alan hansen and the "monkey could do it link man" lineker
Pleat needs to be shot, absolutely can't stand the senile old fool. As for the best it definitely has to be Wrighty, before he stopped doing it all that is.
Andy Gray, Motty, Jamie Redknapp and Alan Hansen are all decent. David Pleat and Robbie Earle are the two worst.
Best OK i'm biased but i could listen to Graham Taylor all day i just seem to agree with everything he says. Andy Gray I love his boyish enthusiasm and has become a bit of an national institution with sky. Is undeniably good at what he does. Worst That Craig Burley on Setanta has one of those dour coma inducing Scotish accents, that make turning over to watch Emmerdale seem preferable to his monotinous drone. Jamie Redknapp I agree there is something about him that grates. As a player he perhaps was too glad to sit on the treatment table picking up his vast salary salary and as a pundit he just seems to know verybodies job better than them. It's very easy with the benefit of hindsight and endless replays. Ok i'll admit i'm probably a bit jealous but he has got one of those faces you would love to slap.
Alan 'No, I'm not interested in coaching Newcastle, would you like to know how I would improve Newcastle' Shearer. Lee Dixon lives round the corner from me, as does Geoff Shreeves, as does Alan Smith. The middle one is a ****, though not strictly a pundit.
Totally agree! I'm pleased someone else has noticed his daft ramblings about his time at Spurs. He probably thinks they'd have won the league by now if he'd stayed. Daft ****. Andy Gray is an arse too, calling all the big players by their first names. Steven would have thought this, and Frank would have done that and Cristiano would have suck*d my nob like this etc etc etc.... Bring back big Ron Atkinson I'd say. Phrases like, "the ball didn't half bend ugly on him" should be placed along side the literary works of Shakespeare and stand the sands of time!
Lol as something a little off topic i wish shearer would either take a job at newcastle or shut the **** up
You've got to be f**king kidding. Peacock was different class then bizzarely decided to go and preach to some people somewhere else. -No no no, he moaned that the BBC thought he was a clown, well Wrighty i've got news for you, you ARE a clown, stop banging on about your "son" who isn't actually yours. - Pleat is absolutely dire, his constant ramblings and mispronounciations are grating to say the least and if i hear him reply to the main commentator after being introduced with "well errr yes good evening ladies and gentleman" i'll hunt him down and murder his curb crawling ass.
Personally I can't stand Alan Shearer, he has as much charisma as a lump of ****. Garth Crooks is a rambling fool who gives a 20 minute answer to a yes or no question. Lawro is a decent pundit, speaks sense most of the time.
Andy Gray is a **** and lost any credibility he my have had left when trying to blame the Ref when Mascarano spat his dummy out last season. He is always on the officials back and will only grudgingly admit that a good decision has been made. For instance during a close offside decision and after he has studied various monitors and angles he will say something like " he JUST,JUST about got that right" What does that mean? Also he is a serial "in hindsight and off camera merchant" i.e. when a player does something well 10 mins into the second half he will say something to the co commentator like " i was telling you at half time to look out for this boy" ****** of the highest order!!
Best: Souness, Hansen, Deseilly (or however you spell it). Charlie Nicholas, Kammy. Worst: Pleat, Jim Beglin, Lawro, Dixon, Keown, Jamie **** face Redknapp. And by far the worst is the jumped up, arrogant príck Crooks. Never have I seen someone so contrary about everything and anything. While it's annoying when someone who does know what they're talking about is condescending, when they know fúck all it's even worse. he strikes me as the sort of kid at school who's a grade C student but thinks they're aristotle.
Although not strictly a pundit Stuart Hall is pure quality. His Five Live match reports are football poetry.
I guess it's about individual taste. Andy Gray seems to divide opinion yet there is a general consensus, at least on Watford Forums, that Jamie Redknapp and Garth Crooks are both *****s.
I like Paul Merson he is an poor pundit but is a good laugh, here's a clip of him commenting on a watford game its quite funny. http://uk.truveo.com/Soccer-Saturday-Paul-Merson-gets-it-totally-wrong/id/782504631#
What about our old boys, GT and that up and coming young pundit (because he's probably not going to be a manager any time soon) Aidy!!!
