loki679 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 What grates on me about Sutton and his like, nobody ever seems to challenge their opinions. They get to spout off without challenge, which gives them a position of power for their opinions. Spot on. Can't really watch the likes of Soccer Saturday, or listen to most of the drongos they have on Talksport, for this exact reason. He is a complete WUM and a bit of a dick. But Adrian Durham doesn't always toe the 'PFM' line. He is one of the only ones I can remember openly calling out Pardew on his bullshit and bad record.

Conjo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I feel terrible asking this, but what the f*** is PFM? A phrase British pudits use all the time to describe someone like Pardew, Bruce, McLaren, Allardyce or Pulis. They may have an appalling win ratio or not actually achieved anything of note but they are PROPER FOOTBALL MEN. So ignore the terrible relegation form their teams are in or give them the England job. Based purely on PFM. Always thought it was Proper Football Manager. Proper Football Men is even funnier Cheers.

Mattoon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It's a great piece, I've shared it round a few friends to enlighten them. The sofa supporters that get all their knowledge from pundits and don't understand my hatred for managers like Allardyce because he's a "character". They gon learn today.

TRon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 There was an interview with Ruud Gullitt in the Sunday Times this week (by Robert Crampton I think) who apparently did a hatchet job on him some years ago, but he went back on it in this article which was a good read. The standout comment in it was that Gullitt was an all time great player, not very good manager, but an above average football pundit. That really is true. His insights as a commentator are light years ahead of the pub crew that we are usually subjected to by the tv channels. Well worth a read if you can find it without the paywall. I'm assuming you can because I've seen plenty of George Caulkin articles on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sutton's the biggest advocate of PFMs working on the punditry circuit. He was basically working as Nigel Pearson's agent back around the time we hired Rafa. I hadn't seen him on the TV until the weekend when I saw him on the Celtic match. He came across like a right condescending t***. I'm not surprised that Shearer didn't like him. I'd never seen him until he was on MOTD2 a couple of weeks ago and he came across as a absolute cunt. Seems many have the same opinion of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Aside from the infuriating habit football has of putting a indefinite article in front of a club or player’s name, this sums up the PFM attitude to football, and possibly to life itself: foreign is rubbish, British is best. The PFM always thinks the things he’s heard about are better than the things he knows nothing about. There’s no room for learning. If it was worth knowing, he’d already know it.
