The freightliner terminal doesn't serve Trafford Park. It puts containers on lorries to go all over the north-west (via roads in Trafford Park) and the container trains delay passenger trains. The alternative site at Parkside is next to the M6 motorways - and close to the Liverpool-Manchester line - though stuff online seems a bit vague about some of the rail routes (the Freightliners from southern ports would come via Crewe and Warrington).

I bow to your superior knowledge.

I mistakenly believed Freight from TP used the Terminal.

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 ****.

Spotted him punditing on a US stream the other month and he was fucking awful.

Host: so, that was a set of highlights about Smith, what do you make of his playing Mr A?

Mr A: he was very very good, he looked sharp, he looked bright, he’s still young and new to the PL, but if he gets his head down, I can see him going far.

Host: indeed, he might. But what about that petulant incident that earned him a yellow, what do you make of that Mr B?

Mr B: he had been very very good, he’s still young and new to the PL, so that explains he might be off the pace when Jones attempted to go past him, but he looked sharp, he looked bright, he’s still young, but if he gets his head down, I can see him not making that mistake again.


BBC/Sky you can contact me via PM on BM about the pundit contract, as you can clearly see, I am perfect for the job, and who knows, within a couple of years, i could be hosting.

Get ready for 18 uses of “eeeerm” per sentence whilst he struggles to breathe without being defibrillated.

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 meet all the criteria. Could you send pics so I can assess my next move?

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.

The problem is he’s inarticulate, painful to watch as his inaudible mumbling eermmm & errrrhhh should prevent him from the task.

His ability was never in doubt but this job doesn’t require ball skills.
 
Catching up on the latest news this morning I stumbled on a piece in the the MUEN that made me smile. The headline was about the tantalising view of the new Swamp. Do they not know that tantalising means a vision of something to be desired but never be attained. It derives from Greek mythology, Tantalus was accused of taking Ambrosia (not a tin of rice pudding) but the food of the Gods for which he was condemned to stand in water near a fruit tree that was always beyond his reach. Perhaps Burnham is writing his own Greek tragedy.

Can you imagine what his fucking rider will look like?

‘Four KFC buckets, three gallons of buckfast and the entire female cohort of the nearest retirement home in his dressing room after the show.’
 
Doesn't matter which football program it is with pundits sky, bbc, tnt they are all the same.
It's like a bunch of mates in a pub chatting about football. It's not punditry it's ex players trying to convince you they are right.
I personally couldn't give a shit what 99% of pundits say. I have watched the game and can make my own mind up.

Pundits nowadays try to influence the game, two 'fouls' identical. Neville 'that's a Soft penalty for City' ......Neville 'that's a nailed on penalty for utd'

If pundits don't follow the pro dippers and rags script they don't come back.

Have the rags applied for planning permission yet ?

'Too late will be the cry!'..

Worthy though your suit may well be, both have long since met their 'Young Lochinvars' - one swain supports Plymouth Argyle, the other Wycombe Wanderers (if Harlequins RUFC aren't playing that day..)

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.

It is just weird, they are top of the league, with a good side, a good manager & I hate to say it playing some good football yet they cant wait to post endless bitter shite on any website that happens to mention little old City, A club they go to great lengths to tell everyone in great detail for page after page just how much they dont care about?
Weird.

A bit like Arsenal fans wanting the last two titles defaulted to them when the charges are from 2009-2018 before they were even in the conversation.
