Chris Sutton is not ,as you say "thick"
I,m not having that. A Very talented and intelligent football brain ,as a player leading the line for norwich City centre forward..at the age of 19...He lead the line at that age like a seasoned veteran. I know cos i watched him do it.A very good footballer.

Its not lack of brains mate....its about articulating what your Employer states is the mantra......as an employee ...he is doing brilliantly, contractracted ....to give a certain view.
Chris Sutton will say....whatever his boss tells him to...for a lorra money!!

Well I don’t think we’ll be seeing him win mastermind any time soon

I can't take him seriously mate.
Another ex pro stealing a living talking utter bollocks whether it's his views or his employers.
I remember him as a player too, decent at Norwich and Blackburn but flopped at Chelsea iirc.
Playing ability doesn't dictate how good or bad a pundit you are,same as it doesn't dictate how good a coach or manager you make.
Interesting that Sutton is another who thinks he's qualified to judge how good or bad others are at management when he hasn't got the guts or motivation to try it himself

I think we can just agree...Csiac.
 
BBC local news with a very brief , 'Manchester United have been kept off the top of the Premier League by Sheffield United".
Strange way to put it.

He most certainly is thick. Speaks a complete and utter load of nonsense the vast majority of the time. Which fulfils my definition of thick.
 
Talk Shite is brilliant tonight.

Plastic Rags from all over the country, not a Manc accent to be heard, venting their spleens. Andy Goldstein is class, and funny as f*** tonight, taking the pis* out of his fellow plastic United fans.

The Rags at media City can't just come out and say United lost at home to the worst team in the league because they're shit and City are top of the league so they have to find another way of saying it.
If we had lost at home to the league's bottom club to keep them top we both know the headlines would be so different and they would be wanking themselves stupid whilst staring out of their office windows facing the swamp.
 
A very strange article on the BBC website about previous tight Premier League title finishes:


Particularly strange was the omission of the tightest finish of them all when City won on goal difference after two added-time goals in 2011-12.

They did include City's win in 2013-14 and a win for Arsenal in 2001-02. All of the other seasons featured ended up with United winning.

Not that most who know anything about the game think that this season will be tight. It may look so at the moment but the underlying trends are clear.

For example 538 has City with an 87% probability of winning the Premier League with United on 5%, Liverpool on 4% and Spurs and Leicester each on 2%:

I haven't looked at other sites but will be surprised if there is much argument.
