Jamie Redknapp

[Skibum]

I think the fact that J R was sitting next to Craig Bellamy helped with his positive comments!

 

[blueyorkie]

Must say that I do like Redknapps views,far better than his old fella.
You very rarely hear him criticise City and he was on his own when supporting NDJ tackle v Newcastle.
One of the better panel "experts" IMO.

Agree with that, I have always thought his comments on City were fair and balanced.

Jamie seems to be one of the more fair and balanced members of the media. I dont always agree with what he says but you can see that he makes a point rather than just stupid statements like most of that lot on soccer saturday

You know you dont have to look at his crotch?

you wont be taking your eyes of his balls now ive mentioned it. this is how it happened to me, my mates mentioned it, now im constantly looking at his sack.

i just cant help it !!

Ive seen it mate, especially in those shiny grey pants. However I resist staring.

Is it me or does he only have one tie?

Said that was the best performance of any team that's played this season.

High praise indeed, although I have to agree with him. On occasions we played the ball like Barcalona. Every player looks composed and comfortable on the ball, several times I saw one of our players with several fulhqm players surrounding them only for our player to do a turn and pass the ball into space - breath taking stuff

I think he said it was the best 45 minutes (of the first half) that any team has played this season, and though I'm biased I'd have to agree with him. Spuds were absolutely brilliant against us in the first half of the first game of the season (not that they got anything to show for it) and Chelsea were very good in the early games of the season against some mediocre opposition. However the three goals we scored could easily have been 4 or 5 - Kolarov's one on one and the ball he put in from the left hand side than nobody attacked spring to mind - but our all round football was just fantastic. The mover that led to Yaya's goal was immense. NDJ showing a trick or two come come past 2 fulham midfielders was fantastic. Silva looks better and better each game, and you can't say enough about Tevez. There was only Jo who didn't have an absolutel blinder in the first half, and eve he was better than average.

The second half wasn't the same, but why would it be? We had the game won so long as we did nothing silly, and we knew they would come out of the blocks like a train. It was all them for the first 10 minutes of the second half, until the goal that killed them off. Even then, we could have had 6 or 7 - Carlos' one on one, Carlos' penalty shout, and Kolarov shaving the post with a curling shot on the right hand side.

Absolutely brilliant display. In another thread, some muppet from the Sun is quoted as saying Football wants Fulham to win.

Football has just thoroughly enjoyed itself - performances like ours are why Pele called it The Beautiful Game.

I got the impression the commentators (inc Andy Gray, although he suppressed it better) wanted Fulham to win too. Completely flat commentary - almost disappointment when we scored 'yet another one'. Continually made reference to Spurs come back etc. Surreal atmosphere - in fact it was so subdued that i thought Tev's 1st goal had been disallowed for some moments afterwords.

Tried adjusting my set from widescreen to the old 4:3 to see if his bollock-to- screen ratio can be reduced - improves it a bit. - but it then means you end up paying more attention to his parcel than the missus!
TOP TIP- I found best way was to position my foot on the table in my field of vision, between my eyes and the tv. This worked.
Or focus on Richard Keyes shaved hands as a distraction............

Therewas a bit at the beginning of the second half that made me laugh. Obviously the suits at Sky TV don't give a toss who wins, what they want is the maximum number of punters watching the game. So if you're a neutral or a Fulham fan who has just watched the first half, you might be thinking about taking the dog for a walk instead. That's why Martin Tyler comes up with his 'Fulham can still come back from this, can't they Andy?' line, so that the guy who's just about to take the dog out thinks 'maybe I'll stay watching'.

But then Andy Gray knackers the whole thing for Sky by saying 'No I think Fulham have had it.' PMSL.

At least he says what he thinks, even if we don't like it from time to time.

 

[CityPar]

Only a stubborn blind man wouldn't say City were superb in the first half. That said I do rate Jamie as a pundit more than alot of the other crap duffers we have to put up with. He's reasoned and seems to know what he's on about technically. I think the same of Andy Gray too.

 

[Boro Blue]

Probably one of the best pundits around currently.

A ponderable about JR (without sounding gay). Is how can such a good looking bloke,have such an ugly bastard for a dad?

 

[Mungus50]

Yesterday was a glimpse into what we will be like a lot of times next season, and almost every week the season after. This season however we will continue to be inconsistent because we are still gelling and developing. Wolves away will happen a few times again this season. We will also have maybe eight perfect performances like yesterday against certain teams as well. But we need to understand this and still be patient and not expect what happened yesterday to happen every week!!!

And don't forget Fulham were fuckin awful! Hughes got his tactics all wrong. He played four in midfield against our five, and they didn't work hard enough and close down the ball well enough. 4-1 away is a great result and i am chuffed as buns with it, but lets not get carried away and lets not expect too much of them still this season!

SECONDED! Couldn't agree more mate we need to plug on as a unit and let them gel together. The good times will come Blues just need to be patient.
