Topic: Still not worthy of a thread

[Infinitely Content]

Ian Wright and Carragher are entertaining and still have a certain energy about them that is relatable as a fan listening. The rest I could take or leave tbh.

[Ketsbaia]

Nobody's mentioned the worst one. Conversation on 5Live just now:

Steve Crossman: I'd written down the word 'ominous' as John Murray said it after 8 minutes, do you think Mikel Arteta will be quite happy to be 1-0 down at the break given the start Man City made?

Karen Carney: Ooh I dunno, I don't even know what that word means, I can't even pronounce it.

She's thick as a whale omelette.

You're right but apparently we're not allowed to say that, as any criticism at all MUST mean people are sexist.

[Disco]

Brummies should only allowed to work in silent media.

I like Martin Keown a lot these days. Always thought Lee Dixon was good too. Wright and Shearer are obviously sound and I can just about get away with Carragher and Neville providing they're talking about anything other than Newcastle. Find Micah Richards tedious and think Jenas talks quite a bit of s****. Find Alex Scott talks out of her arse a lot n'all tbh.

Feel like Hansen was one of the very best and would still be totally relevant and good to listen to now, unlike his geriatric mate they - for some reason - still wheel out from time to time. Not really a pundit but I think Dan Walker is great and Mark Clemmit is a bit of a legend; his features on Football Focus about the Football League are invariably my favourite bits.

I've a lot of time for Hinchcliffe but that view might be skewed by his content on Set Piece Menu; he does cracks me up, like - I was pissing myself at his hypothetical rant a few weeks back, about recommending to Pep Guardiola that ManC should punt it out for a throw-in straight from kick off.

[Fantail Breeze]

Surprised how many rate Shearer. I don’t like him at all as a pundit, especially as he has fallen over himself all season to back Bruce.

Keown used to be dreadful but has grown on me a lot. I agree about Carragher, I don’t always agree with him but you can see he researches his own opinions.

McCoist and Gary Lineker are good too. I also like the Micah Richards/Keane double act.

[Yorkie]

Well, I like Shearer cos it's Shearer. He'll always be me hero.

Well that's not true

[Ketsbaia]

It's not true but the online reaction to Karen Carney criticisms has been like that.

[joeyt]

I think it was the fact Leeds hung her out to dry on Twitter for just having an opinion.

They should have known the trolls would be horrendous to her

[nufcjb]

Carney is too stale. anyone can say whay she is paid to say. Wonder why she is the chosen one of the media compared to her other former team mates.

[neesy111]

I listened to Carney yesterday on the BT Score Show and she was horrendous.

[toon25]

She pretty much repeats what the lead the commentator says.

Thick as pig s*** and should be called out for being so. Much like Sutton/Savage and co.

Agree on Keown. Articulate and knowledgable

[Disco]

Sutton is occasionally passable when he talks in depth but the him and Savage contrarian-off/must give a definite set in stone opinion on BT is genuinely horrific. Horrible voices too.

[Dinho lad]

I've only heard Clinton Morrison when he talks about racism. Based on that.... I'd say he's s***.

I’ve never known a voice more suited for silent film.

Just catching up on the Spurs highlights and Jenas is commentating as well now? Fuuuucking hell. Sick of the sight/sound of him. Bloke's friggin everywhere talking s****.

Incidentally I had nee idea it was some Austrian team they were playing, as opposed to Grafite's lads.

The father of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has died after drowning in a lake near his holiday home in southern Brazil on Wednesday, according to local police.

It's been a grim season for Liverpool man Jesus Christ  , it's ridiculous the pressure Klopp has been given yet bacon gets a free pass

Just comes down to the media obsession with the "top" clubs. Any underperformance is hugely magnified beyond belief. And yeah Liverpool have had a poor season so far and Klopp does deserve some level of questioning and criticism, but comparatively the media at large don't give much of a s*** about Newcastle's performance. Or Everton's. Or Crystal Palace, etc etc. It fosters an environment where a team who should be pushing for top half (you) can float around 16th/17th without serious questions about the manager.

Plus of course he's English, ex Man Utd and has pals in the media. That too.
