Dokko Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 He's alright. Above average, could be better, but if you look at some of the donkeys the BBC employ and have done for years, then he is very good in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon55544 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I think he is good, Everytime ive seen him he seem fair and does speak some sense. I fucking hate it when some of the other pundits are baised as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Very good pundit, keeps it simple. The only critisism i have is that when it comes to Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea (lampard connection) you can tell whos side he is on. However, in his defence he doesn't let it cloud his judgment.

Yea i agree pretty much with that. I thought after the Spurs game he was pretty much bang on, Not once did he sound bitter that we beat Spurs.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Anyone who likes him obviously didn't see him on Sky at half time for the Tottenham V Newcastle game. He was so biased even Richard Keys was shocked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Redkanpp was dreadful during the Toon Spurs game. What i dont like is his phoney excitement that Sky have drummed into him. Yesterdays first half of Arsenal v Man Utd was okay but pretty cagey. Redknapp would have us believed it was "fantastic and gripping". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,,18932_7290797,00.html Geordie sure Teamwork the key to Toon's stunning start Jamie Redknapp Posted 4th November 2011 view comments I don't think anyone really expects Newcastle to still be in those Champions League places come May and it is still too early to pass judgement, but I'll be honest and say I expected them to be more concerned with relegation. If they should manage to stay in that top four, it will be a minor miracle. I don't think they will but if they did, it would be the equivalent of Arsenal or Tottenham winning the title. Yet here they are, sat in third with a very winnable game against Everton coming up on Saturday. After that they go to Manchester City and Manchester United and face Chelsea at home. After those three games we will know more about what they are about. But it is certainly a case of so far, so good. And what makes it more amazing is the fact that they have let some really big, high-profile players go for big money. Kevin Nolan, Andy Carroll and Joey Barton have all left St James Park and it's hardly as if Alan Pardew has spent all the £35m they got for Carroll, is it? Look at the players he has brought in; with all due respect, the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Sylvain Marveaux, Demba Ba and Gabriel Obertan hardly had the big boys queuing up for their signatures did they? But they have all turned out to be pretty shrewd signings. I saw a bit of Cabaye at Lille and although he is clearly a good footballer, I did worry about the physical side of his game, moving from France to the Premier League. The obvious way to sum up Newcastle right now is that a couple of injuries in key areas and they will start struggling and drop down the table. But the other way of looking at it is that they are just a couple of good signings away from having a really good squad. But he has got a bit of bite in the tackle and he and Cheik Tiote have been outstanding in the middle of the park. I don't know whether it is Pardew or the club's scouting system that spots these players - it's probably a bit of both - but whoever is spotting them is doing a great job. In fact everyone at Newcastle is doing a great job. I watched them closely against Stoke on Monday night and what struck me about them is the confidence they have got in each other. People always talk about organisation, but sometimes when you feel fit and sharp it is so much easier to close teams down and it has a knock-on effect on your team-mate. If you know someone is going to go and close down, you step across to cover them, knowing full well that the next guy will do the same for you. Against Stoke whenever Ryan Taylor looked like he was having trouble, there was Jonas Gutierrez, helping his mate out, doubling up and putting in that extra bit of work. Football is not rocket science; if you see your mate in trouble you go and help him, you don't leave him isolated to deal with it on his own. Newcastle are showing the simple benefits of working as a team. They have also got some very good partnerships down the spine of the side. The midfield two are the stand-outs but Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor - neither of whom I have ever been entirely convinced by to be honest - are doing their bit in central defence and the pair up front have clicked. Demba Ba is getting the goals and the headlines, but for me Leon Best has been the star. I was at Southampton with Besty when he was just a kid and when you think that is a club that produced Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and numerous other youngsters dotted around the league, believe me when I tell you he is just as good. He has taken some time to get going in the Premier League but his work rate has been non-stop. I am sure Ba has profited from that and I am sure he will be the first to tell you that. Any successful team defends from the front and those two work their socks off. I remember when I was at Liverpool, we had Ian Rush and he would never stand still, if we weren't in possession he was always chasing down the centre-back or filling a hole in midfield. It's the same at Manchester United, the same with any good team and is another reason Newcastle have surprised us all. Outstanding Then there is their keeper Tim Krul, another player I was not really sure about. He has been outstanding and is a solid base to the spine of that team. Just looking back through the players I've listed, they are not exactly a bunch of waifs and strays, but you wouldn't necessarily have gone for any of them to be in a team sat third in the Premier League. Put them all together though and it works. Alan Pardew has to take a lot of credit for that. I get the impression Alan is not the most-liked manager in football and I don't really know why because whenever I have met him, he has been very nice and very easy to talk to. I think maybe it is because he is so confident and people perceive that - wrongly - as arrogance. And I do think he has been tainted by his time at West Ham. Don't forget he was only a Stevie Gerrard wonder goal away from winning the FA Cup and then I think he was just unfortunate to get caught up in the whole Carlos Tevez-Javier Mascherano farce. He was basically lumbered with two players he didn't want and didn't pick them because of that. Of course, seeing where they both are now, people will think that was wrong. But back then Alan didn't ask for them, they weren't his signings, so what was he supposed to do. As it turns out Tevez came back into the team and helped keep them up that year, but Alan was the first to experience the problems that he can bring. Management is all about fine lines and so too is success in the Premier League. The obvious way to sum up Newcastle right now is that a couple of injuries in key areas and they will start struggling and drop down the table. But the other way of looking at it is that they are just a couple of good signings away from having a really good squad. As I say, I don't think they will get Champions League football and I am sure Alan won't be looking at that. I might be wrong, but I would imagine his aim is still to get to that 40-point mark and sharpish. There is no way they are going to go down, barring a complete and utter disaster, because they have too much quality to do a Hull or a Blackpool. But I do think that if they can make a couple more signings in January and keep the side fit and settled, then the Europa League should be a realistic target. Everyone keeps expecting the bubble to burst, but why should it. I was speaking to Gary Neville this week and we were both laughing about how wrong we were in our predictions for the Stoke game on Monday night. I am sure Newcastle will prove a lot more people wrong between now and the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I still can't understand all these pundits who thought we would be down there getting relegated. I didn't think we would do half as well as we did, but with some of the utter pish in this league, no way did I think we would be anywhere near relegation. Even when we did get relegated the last time, it took self destruction of the highest order, over and over to finish 3rd bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
