People forget that he's had hours in a studio going over and over every incident from the weekend before he goes live on Monday night football. Not to mention the dozens of researchers helping out and a producer in his ear. It's all rehearsed and done to make him sound more clued up than he is.
In commentary he comes out with all sorts of nonsense. He was hardly a success with England and his managerial career was embarrassing. The guy is a fraud, it amazes me how many are taken in by his bullshit.
I've only ever heard him commentating during a match and the only thing he knows that I don't is how much extra time will be added about three seconds before I know.
