I also think I speak for everyone when I say, thank fuck its not going to be Jenas. Colin Murray? Surely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 (edited) 11 hours ago, toon25 said: The quality of punditry is so fucking bad these days too that it's just not worth listening to anyway. Give me someone who's been there, done it, and won more than a 'club bants merchant' award and maybe I'd change my mind. But the likes of Richards, Jenas, Murphy and Merson? Not watching. Yes and no. I don’t think ex-players that were world class and/or won it all necessarily make good pundits. I think Keane is terrible for example and is just there to play a character, it seems. Grumpy Old Man Souness is the same. Take someone like Nedum Onuoha. He is a brilliant pundit IMO and should get more of a look in. He wasn’t really in that top level, elite bracket. I think a lot of the time. Ex-pros don’t make particularly good pundits, full stop. They never speak particularly well or offer anything insightful. You listen to some of the journos 5 Live get on, on something like Monday Night Club or Euro Leagues. The analysis and level of knowledge is night and day. Plus they’re usually much better orators, too. Never going to happen. As they need to keep jobs for the boys and it won’t be allowed due to ‘how many pro games have you played?!’ crowd. But analysis might be worth watching and listening to if they went for some more analytic, journo types. Edited November 12 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it would have to be presented from a trendy cafe in Deptford as if we're interrupting his morning reading the newspaper over an overpriced long black. I would love to see him on there with Horncastle and Duncan Alexander, if not just to wind up the gammons some more with there fancy words and knowledge of football outside of old blighty.

El Prontonise Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I think one of the reasons they've got rid of lineker is to reduce costs. £700m black hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I've only seen hin a few times like. I think it's just standard that most new pundits feel like a breath of fresh air. I recall people finding Neville a revelation when he arrived. Other than being a weird hockler Carragher seemed to be well thought of too. I think once you give any pundit such regular air time they're always going to show themselves up sooner or later just by virtue of needing to spout an opinion on everything. Some are obviously worse than others but every pundit gets their hate club and I'm sure Walcott will go the same way if he becomes a mainstay.
