genome Dare I say, Keys made a decent point (although it coming from him is a bit hilarious). Pundits are becoming way too matey and banter-y nowadays. It also risks comments like Carragher's that cross a line.

I find all the japery a bit cringeworthy. Give me interesting analysis, not pub banter between m8s. I dunno, maybe I'm being a miserable git but I preferred punditry when it was a bit more professional.

He can certainly take the moral high ground here, claiming that at least when he was asking a footballer in the studio about a girl he'd met, asking "Did you smash it? I bet you did. I bet you were hanging out of the back of it" he didn't do it on air.

My pure completely made up opinion is that the only people who watch the pundits are people who almost never go to football. When you hear fans like that talking, they all sound like pundits in a studio. Real fans just don't talk about football like that.

Broadly agreed, although K8 Abdo ripping into Big Meeks with variants on

"Hi I'm K8 Abdo, I'm here tonight with Champions League winner with Barcelona Thierry Henry, Champions League winner with Liverpool Jamie Carragher, and ...."

is unfortunately a guilty LOL.


Micah Richards is a clown, defo turn off when he's on

Sky are having a mare
Proudly stating that Celtic are champions because of their superior goal difference,

Well, guys, I’ve got some mathematical news for you
The goal difference difference is 7
If Rangers win both, they improve their own goal difference by a minimum of 2
If Celtic lose both (yes, I know), theirs deteriorates by a minimum of 2
Meaning that Rangers only need to gain 3 over and above simply winning

Having said all that, Celtic are not going to lose both

On reflection after giving him the benefit of the doubt, I agree.

ITV: Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Karen Carney, Graeme Souness, Eni Aluko, Ange Postecoglou

Dire.

Jeez
BBC will have to rely on Lampard and Fabregas
ITV on Neville, Carney & Postecoglou
Seems ‘mute’ is the best option

They are still going with 'big name former players who will talk in clichés' I see

Bit of an own goal for BBC not having any women pundits.
Mind you they do have the neurodiverse Rooney and wobbly mouth Rio.

Thank goodness there is no Carragher to moan about the Liverpool players even if ITV have Keane to moan about any Man Utd players.

Souness is almost passable but it's all utter ******* cr@p as usual. Just have to go get the beers in at HT and not bother tuning in until actual kick off. What tends to be worse though is some of the idiots employed as co-commentators especially if the commentator is ****** awful anyway.

Radio 5 was always the best for pundits, used to love the late Jimmy Armfield but now all you get anywhere is a lot of gobshites or cliches or know nothings :roll:

At least there won't be that Adam bloke who did the Atalanta game last night.
He has become the new boring Tyldesley and just doesn't stop talking.

I used to quite like McCoist but he has become too OTT about things, not only last night but when he does Arsenal games he is orgasmic about everything Arsenal.

Graeme "I've played the game" Souness is shite. A lot of the pundits failed as managers which makes me think their analysis of the game is not that good

More OMA drivel-just leave the board to the grown-ups with opinions rather than your regular inanity.

Get a job.

Is that the royal "we"?,
I don't hear loads of others complaining; unsurprisingly you are on your own m8 regardless of how many times you change your username OMA, Kes or whatever twat you choose to be.
