Guest neesy111 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Jermaine beckford could be the next 1 that could do it in the premiership, i suspect a few clubs will try to gamble on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ok there's 1. But by in large the track record of the lower league striker making the step up is poor, Dave Nugent being a prime example. Chopra was totally the wrong buy for Sunderland as outside of his goals which would be a lot harder to come by in the top league he offers very little, he wasn't really all that impressive in his few games for us in the Premier League. When you compare him to someone like Jones, who can defend corners, hold the ball up, beat players, be strong in the air. Its no contest. You mean Kenwyne Jones, who came from the lower leagues? It's all about attributes really. A short fat striker with semi decent finishing ability is never going to be good enough. Yes who has about 14 in 50. He hasn't been prolific, but he has offered them a lot more than Chopra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Martin Keown has to be the most insipidly shit pundit there is. On Manu/Spurs - "Manu were great and Tottenham capitulated" On the relegation battle - "It's going to be hard for Newcastle and Boro" On us - "Shearer needs to find a system that works for the players" ... they aren't just titbits; that is his whole observation. That is his description of the respective situations. This man actually gets paid. Annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 MOTD is just unwatchable, it is so cliched. They have the dullest of ex professionals sitting around in sensible shirt and trousers, looking like accountants on a company night out at Tiger Tiger, spouting the most predictable shite you could ever imagine. Then you have Lineker, the vile sex weasel, acting like he thinks he is some kind of junior Lynam, some cheeky housewives' favourite. The whole thing just makes me want to vomit my head clean off my shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have Lineker, the vile sex weasel, acting like he thinks he is some kind of junior Lynam, some cheeky housewives' favourite. The whole thing just makes me want to vomit my head clean off my shoulders. You should try listening to the Icelandic ones. It's just like commentary for the blind, a 100% accurate commentary of what is happening at any given time. "Martins passes down to Owen, Owen gets the ball, Owen turns and crosses over to Gutierrez, Gutierrez runs with the ball and shoots way over." *camera turns to fans* "There we have some Newcastle fans singing" *camera turns to the goalkeeper* "Here comes Van Der Saar, the Man U goalkeeper, and he kicks the ball upfield" etc. you never have any analysis of any kind. Listening to Sky commentators is like listening to Gods compared to the Icelandic ones. I actually know a family of die hard Man U fans that always watches the footy muted and honestly I can't blame them. Some of my favorite words of wisdom this season: "No no no, if you are going to shoot from that range you'll have to go much closer" Yorke is preparing to come on as a sub and the commentator, having nothing useful to say, goes "Dwight Yorke is coming on, he sure knows his way around the ladies" Then everyone of them is biased as fuck. The other day we had a Liverpool fan commentating a Liverpool game so in the warm-up he goes "Oh, I hope we get to hear You Never Walk Alone, that magnificent song" then of course a minute later they play it "Ok people, turn up the volume on your televisions because here it comes" , then for the whole time they were playing it he didn't utter a word, probably leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed hugging a Liverpool scarf. The Icelandic MOTD is even worse. Like everyone in the studio agreed that the penalty given in the Man U - Tottenham game was probably the right decision Ah, during the Euro 08 I remember Holand getting a free-kick. With the likes of Persie, Sneijder and Vaart looking likely to take it the commentator goes "Now Nistelrooy will probably come to take the free-kick, he is their free-kick specialist". Then of course he was surprised that Sneijder got to take it. Useless tossers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
