Martin Tyler: “of course the fixture is only being played tonight because Manchester United couldn’t fulfil it the other day…for whatever reason.”

Am I fucking hearing things?

Steve Nicol

He is one of the most miserable people I have ever heard. Last season, he gave off about us not being unbeaten. Said, despite multiple offers to retract his statement, that he would have swapped a European Cup medal or league medal to go unbeaten in a season. He's the kind of person who find fault in absolutely everything

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Neville was really fanning the flames yesterday. Some commentators/pundits from this list are really dumb as fuck, but Neville is more than that, he's a lunatic!

Steve Nicol

A truly embarrassing pundit. I used to watch ESPN and he'd be on and the other guests would be people like Marcotti and Sid Lowe who know their football and he never knew what he was talking about; but acted like only his view counted because he's the one that played the game at the top level. That's all ex-player pundits are. Arrogant grifters topping up their pension.

"Reds versus reds. Amidst red hot policing. And it's live!".

Presumably, he didn't have the foggiest idea of why GMP turned out en masse.

He was considered thick as mince when he was a player and usually the victim of pranks from other players I believe. Great player though but awful pundit.

Wonder if he knows you can go unbeaten in a season and still get relegated

I’d love to hear the conversation if someone actually went round to his place and told him they’ll take his solitary European Cup winners medal off him, expunge the 1984 European Cup from his record and in it’s place give him...nothing. Just the ability to pick one of his league medals and say that he can claim he wasn’t beaten that season.

Push comes to shove and Nicol would give him a two word answer. The second word being “off”.

[Fabulous_aurelio]

Martin Tyler kills me. What a great, entertaining game last night though and he couldn't muster a bit of enthusiasm, even for the Utd goals.

He may aswell have farted through the microphone.

BBC are showing all of the Copa America, can’t wait to hear well known South American Jermaine Jenas’ thoughts.

I’ve got ‘play acting’, ‘Latin temperament’ and ‘samba football’ on my Jenas bingo card.

Tbf the context of that was him saying they have these matches close together but only because they couldn't get the original game played. Was basically saying they can't complain when it was their fault. Closest thing I've heard to criticism of them on Sky, although the 'whatever reason' shows he shied away even doing that properly

[Nobby Reserve]

I’ve got ‘play acting’, ‘Latin temperament’ and ‘samba football’ on my Jenas bingo card.

Got 'Luis Suarez biting and/or being racist', 'eulogising about Maradonna', and 'learning to play football on the mean streets of Rio de Janeiro'

[Legs]

All 3 last night were laughing about Utd losing to Leicester to stop Luverpool getting in CL.

One of em said "yeah we joked about that earlier in the studio"

I bet you did as that is what happened.

[Fromola]

They should put the likes of Tim Vickery on the games and keep pricks like Danny Murphy and Jenas away from it.

[gerrardisgod]

I do recall Vickery being involved when they’ve shown the Libertadores finals, so I’d assume he’d be involved again. They could do worse than trying to tempt Leonardo back to punditry for a month, he used to be great on World Cup coverage, probably a bit too busy with PSG these days though.

Pele, "Green and Gold of Brazil", Maradonna flawed genuis, Messi & zero world cups

"Players like Harry Kane would never cheat like that"

[Jshooters]

Jenas after Chelsea’s goal is ruled out for a mm offside:

“I’ve never seen anything like it”

It literally happens every week you fucking brainless waste of oxygen

[sinnermichael]

Amazing how Lineker spends every week moaning about VAR on Twitter except when Leicester benefit from it and he just tweets "always loved VAR".

[Paisley79]

He was also talking about Wes Morgan during the trophy parade thing. Said that he remebered Morgan playing in his Dad's team (he's a year younger than Jenas) & then he said "now here he is winning medal after medal with Leciester"

[KillieRed]

He’s as thick as pigshit but seemingly inoffensive to the type of people who hired & promoted him. He offers nothing insightful & has no depth of experience to justify his position.

[slaphead]

Is there any channel Jenas doesn't be on. He loves a cliche that fella. My pet hate one was on his list today too. James blocked Vardy's effort. "James gambled there to get across and block the shot"
A lot them seem to use that line for some strange reason bit he uses it a lot. A striker making a run to the front post, or making a run across his man. Or a defender making a block or tackle is always referred to as a gamble. I call it doing their job

It's because they all went on the same media courses.

Oh come on, Lineker can be a bit of a twat but it's clear he's taking the piss out of himself a bit there.

Honetly I can't feel annoyed at old dobby today. 52 years after he saw Leicester lose an FA Cup final as a kid, and cried, he now sees them win as presenter of the BBC's coverage.

You've got no poetry in your soul if you can't feel happy for the jugeared crisp botherer and give him a mental nod and thumbs up.

Exactly,he's as much off a Leicester fan as we are Reds.He mentioned that his old man went to the other 4 finals,there's no wonder he was almost in tears.

Just to follow up on this c*nt. He’s just suggested Mike Dean has given a free kick to Liverpool (our first, 25 mins in to the match I believe) because of his “Merseyside connections”.

Not one fucking mention of where Anthony Taylor or the VAR referee (who’s name escapes me) were from the other night. He is a fucking scumbag, it’s as simple as that.

[Redsnappa]

Such an amazing goal that even Martin Tyler forgot himself and actually sounded enthusiastic after a Liverpool goal for the first time in my experience.

[slaphead]

Tyler must have read out about 400 stats today. Sensing that people were more than likely fed up with them he came out with the - a fella stopped me on the way in and made sure I read this one out. It was so good I forget it

Think that was WBA havent beaten the champions at The Hawthorns for 40 years and that team was.............LFC.

Basically desperate for us to lose as usual.

Danny Murphy "the worrying thing for Liverpool is that Trent it becoming the playmaker, the creator, from right back".  I must ask him what its like to have been asleep for the last 2 years, sounds great.
Lets get someone like Wan Basaka in who couldn't cross his legs

Yeah, worrying times when a player is scoring and assisting. Who needs such a player?! Nobody remembers the likes of Carlos, but the world will never forget your typical fullbacks like Marc Hottiger and Jan Kromkamp!

Murphy - what a fucking bellend
