Michael Owen: “You know what, I actually think Brighton can win this game.”

Like he’s talking about some 20/1 outsider, rather than the Even money favourites.

The Europa League seems to have stopped Brighton remembering how to play football.

That’s fuck all. I had 12 pints last night and forgot how to talk.


And walk.

More proof (there's plenty out there already) that a decent player doesn't always make a decent/knowledgeable pundit....

I wish they would have muted the lady who was hosting. Her voice grates on me

She does my head in. I mute her.

I cannot watch a game if he is on, he never shuts the fuck up.
It would be so much better if we had crowd noise only without commentators or at least bin the co-commentators

how would you know manchester united are playing ?

 

[dadnlad]

no penalty are var sure
this could be in danger of being replayed

She does my head in. I mute her.

I do too which made me realise just how much she talks.
She gives more of her opinion more than you get from the pundits. And she’s full of shite

It’s the arrogance of some of these pundits that irritates me and why I rarely bother listening to them.

There were two women, one was obviously an ex goalkeeper, and Michael Owen talking about the Liverpool game last night. The two women were pronouncing the other team, Union Saint-Gilloise, perfectly. Or what at least sounded perfectly to a non French speaker. God forbid, they may well have even practiced pronouncing it, when they were given the job.

But that nonsense was all clearly below the great Sir Michael. It was “the opposition “ or “ the Belgians” all night for him.

How hard is it, when you’re been paid handsomely to comment on a football game, to at least make it your business to know the names of the two teams? If he’d done even 30 seconds research he would have found it is perfectly acceptable to call them “USG” and saved himself the bother of having to try and pronounce silly foreign words.
