Pundits who are actually decent

All shite.
All ex red mardarses can't stand us.
Pete Drury went from being the coolest commentator to a bag of red sky infected dribble in a heartbeat. The minute he grabbed the sky sports mic he'd lost all credibility.
The usual morons on TNT. They way they carried on when Madrid beat us was shocking.

Is there any decent pundits out there who aren't bitter, city hating wankers who can't speak for themselves?

I think not.
 
Emma Hayes was always very good on the occasions she's been on. Probably not been asked back cos took often someone actually giving meaningful tactical insight just makes everyone else look bad

True, if you could get past her jellied eels accent, could shredded sheet metal! Issy Christianson and Steph Houghton also very good on City app, along with weaver, Morrison, Brown. Really can't stand David James, no connection with us, frankly.

Side topic, on the App, FG pitchside with ex pro v good, Ali Mann on Comms brilliant. In studio as hosts, Natalie Pike giddy, cel spellman, awful...
 
Liam Rosenior and Jobi McAnuff were superb when doing EFL and Championship games
But as Nedum found out, being a young, articulate, tactically astute pundit means nothing if you only had a so-so career
They much prefer sub-golf club bar Bantz from ex redshirts, regardless of what they have to offer
And they generally prefer their black pundits to be giggling idiots like Micah and Clinton Morrison than more studied types like Nedum and the two aforementioned lads
 
Most pundits do not have the cerebral elasticity to be a coach or a manager. That is the reality and why they end up on the couch talking waffle bollocks. On top of that, certain media channels seem to want ex red cartel players as the pundits without any real vetting of the quality of their input and comments. Some may call this ongoing evidence of media bias. In any other industry most of them would have been sacked for poor performance. I don't like it, but football punditry is of a very low quality and the pundits haven't got the emotional resilience to provide non biased analysis. For these reasons, when I watch a game on TV I turn it on just before kick off and watch something else at HT. It would be great if all football coverage was like Amazon Prime where you can turn the commentary off.

On a separate, but related note, all Alan Shearer is able to say when commentating is 'Good pass', 'Great tackle', 'He is playing well tonight' ....etc etc...and he's no doubt paid millions for that total garbage. Also, I remember him saying that Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup was good for football and no mention of one of the most controversial decisions in recent finals. So, in effect praising the smash and grab victory. What if someone that really needed the money stole his watch? Would he say that that's good for egalitarianism and the fair redistribution of wealth in society? No, he'd say I wanna get that thieving basxxxx. I've digressed a little bit, but Alan Shearer is simply dining out on his reputation as a footballer and he was an excellent footballer. But, he's stealing a living like a lot of the pundits we have to endure on UK TV and radio.
