Stupid things football people say on TV

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

On tonight's showing, pretty much anything Savage says.

I particularly liked him calling for Aguero to 'put his foot through it' despite falling over backwards at full stretch.

Savage is one of those ex-pros with an inordinately large mouth and an corresponingly small brain. He knows all the answers to any problem in football but he hasn't a clue what the questions are. I didn't break the record for turning on the mute last night. I lasted about five minutes. I can't stand the sound of the cnut's voice. Mind, it's not the only voice I can't stand. The list gets ever longer!

Savage tonight " In todays modern game hes entitled to go down" in other words hes condoning diving

Deserved and entitled. Two favourite words for ex-pro pundits and, by God, don't they overwork 'em!

Yes that one was a high (or low) point for Savage, utter drivel.

However this topic has a certain "people in glass houses.." feel if you flick through any match-day thread on here. ;-)

Savage last night

"Manchester City don't do draws away from home in the Champions league. They've played 12, won 5 lost 6 and DRAWN ONE"

Its not just football - just to the rugby on and the summariser there was looking at a replay of a collapsed scrum and said the player

" just got his feet too far away from himself there"

Not sure about anybody else but mine tend to stay the usual distance from me - ie attached at the ankles ffs !!

I was listening to the Palace v West Brom game on 5Live on the way to the match today. In an ever changing world it's comforting to know some things stay the same. Arch fuckwit David ('Republic of Czechoslovakia") Pleat repeatedly referred to Berahino as Beharinio and Soare as Suarez. However, his real what the fuck moment came when he was trying to construct a convoluted metaphor about players trying to reach high balls and in his muddle asked the commentator "Is it zebras that have black and white stripes or giraffes?" I shit you not.

I know I heard that - I really thought its time to let Pleat go - the dementia is getting to him - the Beh-a-ree-nio pronunciation to Berahinio was driving me mad. The zebra/giraffe thing was plain embarrassing.

Isn't he the former manager who said, after his Spurs team won a match, "right lads, you can all go out on a pub crawl - I'm off on a kerb crawl" ?

I've heard several people say "he's got a low sense of gravity".

The daftest one I saw was when Mike Gatting returned from the Windies after taking a rising ball in his face. The reporter asked the lad with a cut nose and black eyes "tell me Mike ,where did it hit you"?
