Heron Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 It's ridiculous. Like surely the the point of punditry is to have an opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That's why I find watching La Liga and Serie A so refreshing as none of the commentators have any allgencies so will speak freely about players and managers. Doesn't stop the ridiculous jizzfest about every single thing Barcelona and Real Madrid players do being INCREDIBLE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That's entirely Rob Palmer, tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Aye, that's another pet hate of mine. Ben Smith from Barnsley does something sublime and it's like ah aye, mint goal. Messi scores a 6 yard tap in and it's all about his amazing composure and how it's an outstanding team goal, etc. Just realised why Wrighty doesn't give his opinion much - cause his opinion is generally shit.

Dave Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That's entirely Rob Palmer, tbf. Both of them. Gerry Armstrong described a Suarez goal tonight as 'a lovely finish'. It was a one-touch tap in from no more than two yards out, pretty much centre of the goal. It's annoying as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ian Wright is a terrible pundit. He clearly only watches Arsenal and Palace cos he knows almost nothing about any other team, he just blags his way through it giving vague opinions. Watching him comment on European teams is even more embarassing, a couple of weeks ago he seemed shocked when Higuain got the ball on the right wing and didn't skin Barca's left back for pace. One of the best strikers in the world at the minute and a so-called expert doesn't know that pace isn't his strength? The bloke is a moron. Not just that but considering he was a very good striker himself, he doesn't seem to offer any insight on attacking play when he's supposed to be analysing games.

John P Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Shit managers who play shit football (Pulis) who masively overreact to a missed chance and then blame that one missed chance for losing / not winning the game. Maybe if you set your team up to create more than one chance a game it wouldn't fucking matter so much. Allardyce does this too, head in hands if one of his players misses a decent opportunity. You can almost see the cogs whirring in his head - there's my excuse in the post-match interview, I did everything right and I'm a tactical genius but Benteke missed the one shooting opportunity he got from a scrambled set piece.

geordiesteve710 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Players winning a trophy (or promotion in this case) with their club then running around with their national flags to celebrate. It's not an international match, you were all representing your club, there's no need ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an international match, you were all representing your club, there's no need ffs. I have to be honest, if someone won a top level club competition and ran around with the GWG flag, it would give me a small bit of pride, despite the fact I am a cynical, bitter, and jaded old man. It means something to someone and for this reason, I fully support it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that stands out for me is Josemi wrapped in the Spanish flag near the front when Liverpool are lifting the Champions League trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's obviously nothing compared to a proper tournament, but of the odd numbered years, it's better than the one that will be in two years time.

Stal Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 When transfer targets wait until the very last moment to sign. Not talking about last minute signings, but protracted stalling until the end of the window when matches have been played. The player dragging their feet do themselves and the team no favours by not having a chance to bed in. Also questions their actual desire to sign. My best example to hand is michael owen.
