Fuck! That was tougher than I thought. Had to go with hte top 2 firstly, natch, but the 3rd pick is a dificult one to narrow down. Townsend, Le Piss, Parry, Crooks and Sherwood all in with a shout, as is Redknapp, but in the end I had to go with Le Piss, he just takes too much delight in anything going wrong for LFC

I did consider giving people 20 options, but then I fear the result would have been a bit skewed.

On Earth you say, then you only include pundits/sports presenters/commentators from the British Isles.

At the very least, there should be an "Others" option.

I'm confident that cannot be any worse idiots than those listed.

Dunphey and Co. in Ireland are mystical sages of great power, learning and wisdom compared to the thickies listed herein.

Plus 'other' is a cop-out.

You can - if you like - start a seperate poll for Non-british pundits/commentators..

Worst pundits have to be the guys 'Ten sports' have here in south asia. Nothing would compare the amount of shit they spout each week for CL games they actually believe in what they say unlike Dunphy. The black lanky guy who is former leeds player cant remember his name, does really hates us. he was criticizing rafa for not going attacking and kill the tie score 4 or 5 against real madrid at Bernabeu as they were there for taking.  :butt

Went for Le Piss, Merson and Earle.

Even though he's no longer a pundit Brian Marwood should be up there. His anti-LFC bias was up there with Gray. Also his wanking over the Arsenal "kids" in this seasons Carling Cup was cringeworthy.

Some of them are annoying but have redeeming characteristics. I quite like Pleat, if only for his customary "good evening everyone" that opens his commentaries with.

Clive the Red is good value too because I spend the evening arguing with him and shouting at his biased coverage. Some of them are just Morons (Le Toss and Merse for example) and are so biased they dont rile me anymore.

I get pissed off with Redknapp and lawro the ultimate turncoats as I see it. Craig Burley - I mean the man can string a sentence together, he doesnt sound thick, yet some of the dross he comes out with is just unreal. Him and Jon Champion are without doubt the worst commentary combo on at the moment.

Motson gets my goat n'all. Acutally, I think the only commentator I like is Alan Green. Fine upstanding man, tremendous human being and above all, impartial and unbiased. Can you really ask for more?

Roy. Shut up. Just shut up.
