Why did players stay and the same with you?

Pep: 115 brown envelopes help. Right that's it I'm off to pull in town. Bye you ****.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

Another fucking Rag pundit.

Nearly every pundit is a failed manager most being rags and were supposed to take these fuckers seriously why analysing games and tactics

 

[johnevans]

Nah he was in any bar, he walked in right behind the englishman, the irishman and the welshman..

Just like that modern version, the one in which a Director each from the board at Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur walk into a bar together.. what a wonderful example of cabalistic monopoly behaviour, all simply intended 'to benefit the wider footballing community and all done with the best of intentions, honest Guv..!'

 

[give it to gordon]

Another fucking Rag pundit.

Why employ someone as a pundit when he doesn't speak clearly ? That's the most important part of being a pundit.

Set up is good, punchline needs work

 

[GX Blue]

This is some spin.

Dan Childs in the Racing Post this morning:

‘Sorry Saints to be Utds next scalp’.

What is he going on about? They haven’t won in their last 6 games. Unreal. Ha.

Right lads, back again to the Racing Post this morning.

Earlier this week, before the Rags played Southampton, I posted the Racing Posts biased preview. A team that hadn’t won it 6 were set to take another scalp!?!? Ha. Weird at best.

So today we have a similar game as to what they had. The difference is we are 5 games unbeaten and they were no wins in 6.

Yet our headline is the opposite. We get - City jitters! Struggling Tractor Boys can give us a scare.

Now they are probably right with that view on todays game.
This though is just another small example in the space of 3 days the difference in the reporting to add to the million others.

Talk about as much sense as a group of pissed up fans in the pub

Was just thinking similar when I had talkshite on a short while ago and was listening to Shaun Custis speaking as though he had a mouth full of… (insert your own word here). Sounds like the words are jostling for position before flukily coming out in the right order

Don't really see what the problem is. Contrary to what is said on here, most United players heap praise on City on and off the pitch.


Think the only one i've seen with an axe to grind against the club is Carragher.

It’s not praise that people are crying out for on MotD/sky/etc, it’s any sort of nuanced, unbiased, articulate insight about a football match’s highlights.

Wayne Rooney is not going to achieve any of those.

It won't matter what he says nobody will be able to understand the ****

Agree.

I gave my two daughters the following, easy to follow advice as they grew up and ultimately began their searches for life partners on going to university and then bringing them home to meet Mater and Pater etc:

* No United supporters
* No Liverpool supporters
* No glottal stops

I think that this sage advice might well be applied to the criteria used by TV/Media companies when considering prospective pundits for their footballing outputs..

I prefer to get my footy analysis from the pissed up fans than the pundits - Michael Brown, Ned, Jole, Steve Howey et at excepted.

Another fucking Rag pundit.

‘In negotiations’. Jesus Christ, to be a fly on the wall!

Every time he ever speaks he starts with the word ‘obviously’. How many hundreds of pounds will they pay him for each use of the word per programme, I wonder?

Might as well throw the cash in a bin and set fire to it.

 

[Lord Blue]

I gave my daughters this simple advice. It's rule number 1. Don't be a dick.

Tv/ Media companies well do following that rule too.

Also they have figured out no liverpool supporters all by themselves.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Putting aside the fact that he’s a fat, granny shagging **** for a second, the fact that the BBC are even considering employing someone who is so poor at expressing himself verbally, to the extent that his speech is hallmarked with a constant struggle to form a coherent sentence, says everything about the hold the rags have over that organisation and the media more widely.

I actually don’t dislike him as a person and think he’s generally a benign individual, but that doesn’t qualify him to talk on national television about football, or any other subject for that matter. His output on the show will inevitably be a series of anodyne platitudes that actually mean very little and provide no insight whatsoever. This alone makes him wholly unsuitable for the position.

If they employed him to host a healthy living show they would be widely mocked in the press and yet this will be seen in wholly different terms, despite him being equally ill-suited to either position.

There are players in the PL who speak barely any English who would do a better job as a pundit on MOTD than this fat, granny shagging ****.

You could be describing 99% of current pundits there
