Candi_Hills Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Which ex-pro co-commentators and pundits do you people actually like? I quite like Hoddle on commentary but I might just have a soft spot for him because he was so good at football. My favourite pundit, by some distance, is Roy Keane. He's 100% honest and it's funny watching Souness and Carragher look like naughty little bairns in front of him. I quite like Ian Wright as well. And his baldy mate. McManaman, Savage, Sutton, Merson, Ferdinand, Collymore, Neville, Souness, Carragher, Owen, Jenas... knobheads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I think Carragher is pretty well informed for a pundit. Don't agree with everything he says but I think he clearly does a lot of research and puts a lot of thought into his analysis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Carragher is the only pundit I bother listening to when it comes to Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Aye. Hated his accent when he first got the gig but like him better than G.Neville. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Of the ex players who do punditry and comms, off the top of my head, I like McCoist, Neville, Carra, Alex Scott, and Ian Wright. Don’t mind Hoddle or Shearer and Keane is OK. Embarrassing how bad the BT coverage and line ups are. Wall to wall knackers on the ex player front and Laurens and Gog are tossers too. Have to knock the sound off watching their Soccer Sat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Robbie Savage, Chris Sutton, Danny Murphy, Paul Merson, Michael Owen and Steve McManaman are all excellent. I sincerely hope GB News tries to take on Soccer Saturday/BT Sport Score/Final Score and employs the lot, for it would blow them all out the water.

joeyt Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Savage is just the talk-sport esque rent a gob He's similar to Shane Warne, although obviously Warne was one of the best cricketers of all time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controversial/shit/troll points for social media engagement and numbers. Still find it bizarre so many of the BT knackers are allowed to moonlight on the BBC.

Wullie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Nobody's mentioned the worst one. Conversation on 5Live just now: Steve Crossman: I'd written down the word 'ominous' as John Murray said it after 8 minutes, do you think Mikel Arteta will be quite happy to be 1-0 down at the break given the start Man City made? Karen Carney: Ooh I dunno, I don't even know what that word means, I can't even pronounce it. She's thick as a whale omelette. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ian Wright and Carragher are entertaining and still have a certain energy about them that is relatable as a fan listening. The rest I could take or leave tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I like Martin Keown a lot these days. Always thought Lee Dixon was good too. Wright and Shearer are obviously sound and I can just about get away with Carragher and Neville providing they're talking about anything other than Newcastle. Find Micah Richards tedious and think Jenas talks quite a bit of shite. Find Alex Scott talks out of her arse a lot n'all tbh. Feel like Hansen was one of the very best and would still be totally relevant and good to listen to now, unlike his geriatric mate they - for some reason - still wheel out from time to time. Not really a pundit but I think Dan Walker is great and Mark Clemmit is a bit of a legend; his features on Football Focus about the Football League are invariably my favourite bits. I've a lot of time for Hinchcliffe but that view might be skewed by his content on Set Piece Menu; he does cracks me up, like - I was pissing myself at his hypothetical rant a few weeks back, about recommending to Pep Guardiola that ManC should punt it out for a throw-in straight from kick off.

Fantail Breeze Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Surprised how many rate Shearer. I don’t like him at all as a pundit, especially as he has fallen over himself all season to back Bruce. Keown used to be dreadful but has grown on me a lot. I agree about Carragher, I don’t always agree with him but you can see he researches his own opinions. McCoist and Gary Lineker are good too. I also like the Micah Richards/Keane double act.
