Jermaine Jenas

[richardtheref]

ON Football Focus he said one of the reasons Palace was struggling was the form of Max Mayer. He said they had paid a lot of money to take him from Leverkusen. Now my understanding is that he was a free agent and I don't think he ever played for Leverkusen.

Correct on both points.

Meyer ran down his contract with Schalke 04 and moved to Palace on a free in the summer.

is the most beige pundit on television. You can't escape him - he's everywhere for some reason. During the World Cup he was boring it up on the BBC. Switch over to ITV and he's doing a Jacamo advert.

His "appearance" on Question Time a couple of years ago was a non-event.

I am sure he is a nice man but what the hell does he bring that means he's on our screens or airwaves every week...?

Role model to illustrate how not paying attention in English classes make you look an uneducated oik.

Even if he did move on a "free", Palace probably did pay a lot of money for him in signing on fee.

Jenas is not unique among pundits but I always have the impression that he doesn't carry around a couple of suitcases full of ex-clubs shite. I watched FF last Saturday for once and noticed that Jenas and Keown were verbally conspicuous because they weren't focusing every fuckin' comment on The Arse or Haringey. Compare that to Murphy and his ilk - enough baggage to fill every fuckin' timetabled train from PIccadilly to Euston with twelve months' production from Samsonite.

Totally anodyne but seems pleasant enough. There are plenty worse.

Just another piss poor pundit.

He’ll fit right in then.

I enjoy my football so very, very much more now I have learnt to avoid watching or listening to any match pundits or commentators.

I watch all my PL matches live on Portuguese TV and my command of the language isn't good enough to understand more than the player identifications but I still here the crowd reactions.


JJ (it was my name well before him.)

He's also been one of their best players according to a few Palace fans I know, so it looks like he might have managed to botch the entire thing.
