Premier League punditry

We should have a topic about the shitness (or otherwise!) of pundits and media.

Tim Sherwood - this topic can now close

Raise you Robbie Savage.  Offers absolutely no insight at all.

Karen Carney? Seems to be popping up loads on 5Live. I'm no hate of women (far from it), but by christ, her insights are awful.

Is that the best you got Neesy? I’ll give you the encyclopaedia that is Michael Owen

Bring back Roger Thames!

All of them. Everyone has some weird friendship with Steve Bruce. Fuck the old boys club.

Paul Merson. Now there's a clever guy who knows his profession. 100% accurate all the time. And such a likable guy too.

A mate has just posted in a group chat slating Hartson and whichever female (he used slightly different words!) is on the Football Show with him now for their praising and backing of Bruce! Great guy / unlucky with injuries / players to blame / great manager blah blah.

Apparently Hartson said it was disrespectful of the journo who asked Bruce today at why he was smiling after last week's match?!

The worst for me is Leanne Sanderson by a country mile. She is the only one where if she appears on a podcast I just delete it. Every single show she goes on all she does is brag how Man Utd is her club and always brings it back to them. Add she speaks 100 miles an hour without taking a breath and add that extremely irritating laugh its so off-putting. Also the Charlotte Crosby on true faith is awful too, cant go more than 5 words without saying 'erm' and when asked anything indepth she hasnt got a clue

They're a motley crew of failed managers, pig-headed buffoons, gobshites and arseholes. I hate 95% of them.

The best pundits are the managers who've won everything but they rarely end up in TV studios. After them it's Roy Keane. The bloke is straight down the line and doesn't lick his mates' hoops like the rest of them.

Edit: I prefer to watch games with some other sound on. Commentators do my nut in as well.

Chris Sutton for me. Fucking prick.

Everyone knows about Savage and Merson but who are some of the most "underrated" awful pundits? I'll start with Stephen Warnock, he's fucking appalling.

Chris Sutton for me. f***ing prick.

Yeah, he's a strong contender for #1. He's one of those blokes that's just wrong almost 100% of the time. On top of that he's a smug unfunny cnut. If Shearer hadn't made him look good for two seasons he'd be doing celebrity sack waxing with Paul Dickov and Dean Holdsworth.

Graham Hunter for La Liga.  Loves the sound of his own voice.

Dean Saunders is crap and seems a bit of a twat too. Though he's not on that often these days, I think.

Got done for Drink Driving, so don't think he'll be back on in a hurry.

Craig Burley on ESPN? I'm still indecisive about him, but I'm glad he doesn't care who he upsets.

Shaka is quite decent.

Steve Nicol is utter crap.

An absolute bellend and a liar.

Used to give out TV's etc as rewards to players when manager at Doncaster.

I was really rooting for some of the female pundits to come in and shake up the old boys network with some fresh opinions not linked to who they knew or have played for.

But fuck me, most of the ones I’ve heard so far (granted on TalkSport ) have been even more of the same trite opinions and cliches and lack of any research. I’m sorry, I can’t remember any names but I think Jill Scott might have been one of them.

I obviously need to branch out and listen to more female pundits but it’s not been a good start at all.

This. Every time I heard him he was clearly making stories up.

I presume we've all seen the footage of him in the police station when he got done for drink driving.

I've played football with Jill Scott before. I reckon I was better than her. Annoying to think I could've played at the top level if I wasn't saddled with a cock and bollocks, increased muscle mass and bone density.

Why are you reading this topic, HaydnNUFC[/member] ?

Last night I was pissed and I remember looking for something, whatever it was don't think I found it and no idea why I went back to 2011 on Newcastle Online stalking me were you

Chris Sutton for me. Fucking prick.

Honourable mention for the current pundit pinup of Micah Richards
