Guest neesy111 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Raise you Robbie Savage. Offers absolutely no insight at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Karen Carney? Seems to be popping up loads on 5Live. I'm no hate of women (far from it), but by christ, her insights are awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 All of them. Everyone has some weird friendship with Steve Bruce. Fuck the old boys club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Paul Merson. Now there's a clever guy who knows his profession. 100% accurate all the time. And such a likable guy too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 A mate has just posted in a group chat slating Hartson and whichever female (he used slightly different words!) is on the Football Show with him now for their praising and backing of Bruce! Great guy / unlucky with injuries / players to blame / great manager blah blah. Apparently Hartson said it was disrespectful of the journo who asked Bruce today at why he was smiling after last week's match?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The worst for me is Leanne Sanderson by a country mile. She is the only one where if she appears on a podcast I just delete it. Every single show she goes on all she does is brag how Man Utd is her club and always brings it back to them. Add she speaks 100 miles an hour without taking a breath and add that extremely irritating laugh its so off-putting. Also the Charlotte Crosby on true faith is awful too, cant go more than 5 words without saying 'erm' and when asked anything indepth she hasnt got a clue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 They're a motley crew of failed managers, pig-headed buffoons, gobshites and arseholes. I hate 95% of them. The best pundits are the managers who've won everything but they rarely end up in TV studios. After them it's Roy Keane. The bloke is straight down the line and doesn't lick his mates' hoops like the rest of them. Edit: I prefer to watch games with some other sound on. Commentators do my nut in as well.

Wullie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Everyone knows about Savage and Merson but who are some of the most "underrated" awful pundits? I'll start with Stephen Warnock, he's fucking appalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Chris Sutton for me. f***ing prick. Yeah, he's a strong contender for #1. He's one of those blokes that's just wrong almost 100% of the time. On top of that he's a smug unfunny cnut. If Shearer hadn't made him look good for two seasons he'd be doing celebrity sack waxing with Paul Dickov and Dean Holdsworth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Dean Saunders is crap and seems a bit of a twat too. Though he's not on that often these days, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Dean Saunders is crap and seems a bit of a twat too. Though he's not on that often these days, I think.

Dinho lad Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Craig Burley on ESPN? I'm still indecisive about him, but I'm glad he doesn't care who he upsets. Shaka is quite decent. Steve Nicol is utter crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I was really rooting for some of the female pundits to come in and shake up the old boys network with some fresh opinions not linked to who they knew or have played for. But fuck me, most of the ones I’ve heard so far (granted on TalkSport ) have been even more of the same trite opinions and cliches and lack of any research. I’m sorry, I can’t remember any names but I think Jill Scott might have been one of them. I obviously need to branch out and listen to more female pundits but it’s not been a good start at all.

An absolute bellend and a liar. Used to give out TV's etc as rewards to players when manager at Doncaster. I presume we've all seen the footage of him in the police station when he got done for drink driving. I was really rooting for some of the female pundits to come in and shake up the old boys network with some fresh opinions not linked to who they knew or have played for. But f*** me, most of the ones I’ve heard so far (granted on TalkSport ) have been even more of the same trite opinions and cliches and lack of any research. I’m sorry, I can’t remember any names but I think Jill Scott might have been one of them. I obviously need to branch out and listen to more female pundits but it’s not been a good start at all. I've played football with Jill Scott before. I reckon I was better than her. Annoying to think I could've played at the top level if I wasn't saddled with a cock and bollocks, increased muscle mass and bone density. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
