Nedum Onuoha the pundit

[MaineDAWG2008]

Better than Micah ... Micah is not a pundit. Just a puppet nodding with the main narrative. Doesn't argue or even voice his opinion. Basically repeats what others say. So for me Nedum all day.

 

[Burtonblue]

Hes better than Joleon n’all, who last night said “this is Man City’s fifth title in their history” and “City are going for, alright it’s not the treble, not the treble Man United won, but a treble”.

Totally agree
The thing I most like about Ned is his total objectivity despite the fact he is a die hard City fan.
He says it as it is in a really eloquent way.
I do like Micah and Joleon but Ned is in a different class when it comes to punditry.
It’s a pity he didn’t have a few more seasons with us to collect some silverware for himself.

Feel like Micah is slowly being ground down. More and more he rolls out the bullshit cliches that the red loving audience want to hear. Nedum on the other hand is far too intelligent for that and just tells it as it is.

Nedum has said he couldn't be a pundit at the games because you don't get long enough to explain your point due to the time constraints.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Ned is more intelligent than the average footballer. Joleoninho and Micah are dyed-in-the-wool footballers/fans/clubmen/pundits. Broadcasters want the latter, and not someone who is 'objective'. They have their own hymn sheet, and they much prefer their people to be singing from it. Ned will bring along the song he likes best. He might have a go at singing their song but he much prefers his own. That's the problem when you do your own thinking.

hes brilliant. Confident, articulate,knowledgeable and ... a blue

perhaps not what a producer is looking for...by it's nature the job will be a series of sound-bites, the head-lines without the article, suits Micah, but not Nedum.

 

[RayCTID]

Nedum would be an excellent choice.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Nedum really was born to be a pundit. Watched him after the game tonight on City+. Relaxed, witty, insightful, articulate. Top quality.
And yet nationally we get Glenn ‘coma’ Hoddle and John ’9 names wrong out of 10’ Hartson. Mind blowing.

Last season Steve Sidwell did a match with Nedum and was equally incisive and articulate
It's a shame they don't do more

Needum is 10 times the pundit Micah is.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Needum is 1000 times the pundit Micah is.

Fixed.

Nedum is actually a pundit. Micah is riding the hype train being a clown.

Is some attempt to create another Saint and Greavsey with Micah and that knobhead Keane.

Pathetic.

I guess some people don’t care about the intricacies of the game and want banter more than they want to further understand the game.

Great point and so very true.

Keane like Micha are becoming parody figures of themselves, funny for 10 minutes but now so contrived and so fake.

I love that new game you can play where they put on a celebrity version of a show and you don’t know any of the celebrities… there’s an obscure vlogger, someone who once fucked Prince Andrew and someone who finished 9th in the Slovakian version of the Voice. Wtf.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

It turns out that intelligent articulate people who have a solid understanding of football make good pundits. Who knew?

Yet the mainstream broadcasters insist on employing complete morons.

Nedum is brilliant.

 

[mrbelfry]

Yeah I like Nedum a lot. He's a smart measured guy with a touch of humility. He had a mixed time at City so could easily be bitter about how his career went but he clearly is still a fan
