BlueStar Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 Sabotaged his own playing career by being a cunt, sabotaged his own management career by being a cunt, sabotaging his own.. retirement? Half hearted attempt to be a media personality? Fuck knows, wish he'd just go away, sick of seeing him referred to as "Ex Newcastle player". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 He’s not trying to be anything, he’s farming twitter impressions by being controversial and outspoken. It’s better for everyone to just lock this thread, directing traffic his way is giving him what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyers acting for Vine also argued that a hypothetical reader “would appreciate that ‘bacon’ was short for the rhyming-slang expression ‘bacon bonce’ meaning ‘nonce’, referring to one of the tweets which called Vine a “bike nonce” and “raving bacon”.

Monkey Alan Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 I like Joey. He's entertaining. When his Brian Griffin pretendy intellectual routine didn't fool anyone he pivoted to being John Bull, the regular geezer who tells it like it is. Personally, I think he should drop football and politics and just do one of them channels that interview hard bastards about even harder bastards who died in the 90s. I reckon he'd be in his element listening to Sayers talk about how many thumbs he's broken. Think about, Joey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 I disagree with 99.99% of what Barton says......apart from his hatred of Eni Aluko, I think she's actually worse than him. ITV have dropped a clanger getting her for the Euro coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 (edited) I don’t think that is the worst question from Ferdinand, as presuming he meant since being a professional.

Ben Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 One of my pet hates is modern day pundits getting work because of their reputation as a player and not their football IQ.

Dr.Spaceman Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Too many charvers and PFM's in football to bother with nerdy stuff in the mainstream. Loads of people still long for the days SSN had an all white, over 50 panel with a token black fella being shipped off to bottom half Premier League games for comedy value. There's absolutely no way mainstream football analysis is getting any nerdier than Neville & Carragher's current style any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 There are some pundits who offer poor to no insight but lots of personality and I understand why they’d occasionally get a gig. She brings neither, though. As you say she’s certainly not the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand wasn’t interested in a Messi anecdote or even what Fabregas answer was going to be he just wanted to coo about Bellingham. The commentary was absolutely ridiculous as well.

Kid Icarus Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 (edited) She's absolutely shit but it's annoying how her shitness is automatically tied to her race and sex. I saw a clip today of two people thinking they were being completely fair by describing exactly why she's terrible, but then they followed it up with how she "isn't doing the women's game any favours" They're probably right in reality, but if you think about how odd it would sound if you said "Michael Owen isn't doing the men's game any favours" or how racist it would sound to say "Garth Crooks isn't doing black pundits any favours" it's obvious what even people like that who think they're being fair are unwittingly buying into.
