Topic: Who is the best pundit? 2021 edition

[RyanBabel19]

Iain Dowie on commentary for our match tonight, fuck me. Didn't necessarily say anything wrong (apart from one moment where he completely contradicted himself), but the constant stuttering was annoying as fuck. Just talks nonstop without thinking.

I actually thought he was quality, unbiased, gave good accurate assessments throughout the game and spoke a lot of sense

[gerrardisgod]

He’s actually a good listen and he clearly loves the game. But, fuck me, give your mouth a rest for five minutes

[Hazell]

Without context, that could be misinterpreted.

[Gerry Attrick]

Iain Dowie is a good fella. As commentators go he's one of the finest.

[classycarra]

I quite like him 

Think he’s pretty genuine, just a bit thick but hearts in the right place.

Haha Im taking shit in a whatsapp group for saying almost exactly this. He's an enthusiastic simpleton, bless him

[CraigDS]

He’s definitely far from the worst I’ve heard. In fact was happy to hear it was him when got the stream going.

Sounded like he was doing a crap Bruce Forsyth impression at times.

[sinnermichael]

You'd never think Steve Nicol played for us the moaning bastard. Whinging about Klopp's team selection after we've just won 3-1.

Every time I watch us on a stream I'm happy providing Gary Birtles isn't on it.

majority of ex Liverpool player pundits seem to be like that, mostly insufferable, moaning, whinging bastards, who love nothing more than to have a dig or add more pressure onto the manager and team.

[MadErik]

I like Dowie. Sounds like he genuinely loves football and has a nice line in self-deprecation too.

Any time I've heard him he's very complimentary to LFC without being fawning.

[Kekule]

Shout out to Lawro.

Has yet to predict Manchester United to lose this season.  His league table at the bottom of this page has them on 12 wins and 2 draws from 14.  But is in effect 13 wins and 2 draws as he had them down to beat Arsenal.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46361785

He's got them on 41 points.  Just 18 out.   

[Robinred]

Iain Dowie has a Masters degree in engineering.

He’s a good egg, however ‘old school’ his views on coaching and management.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Has Ian Dowie got a plum in his mouth?

He's canny posh like.

[rawcusk8]

Just watching the Bournemouth highlights again and I have to say Martin Tyler is a right prick. Kept banging on about the offside goal, barely raised his voice for Salahs second and was genuinely upset when Cook scored the own goal. Sooner he pisses off the better.

[crichton]

Jim Beglin.   Boils my piss like you wouldn’t believe. Stick him on the list there so I can vote for the fucker. Boils my piss!!!!!

Martin Tyler will be worse tomorrow, you watch him having a wankfest over everything the Mancs do, hoping we get beat.

[bradders1011]

Martin Tyler again, other than when they scored, sounding like somebody had broke into his house on Christmas day and pissed on his kids.

[idontknow]

Alex? But surely he has a key?

You have a fantastic way with words.

Him, combined with Neville almost in tears after the game, was brilliant. I do this Neville speaks a lot of sense at times but it was nice to see at the same time.

On the topic of this thread, I do enjoy Roy Keane in punditry, says it how it is which is probably why he's failed as a manager in this day and age.

[Jimmy Conway]

And its Liveeeeeeeeeee

Its 2018, hardly something to brag about

[AlphaDelta]

Tyler is laughable, although I didn't think he was that bad yesterday (in parts), for me though, when Henderson scored that worldy against Chelsea, he was practically in tears!

Jonathan Pearce gets on my fooking tits, clown was commentating on robots and now all of a sudden thinks he's the font of all knowledge on the game.

[Buck Pete]

Says it how it is?

Clyne was a link weak and a terrible defender prior to yesterdays game according to him

He tells it how HE thinks it is. Which explains why he constantly fails as a manager.

He's paid to go on the telly purely in the hope he will say something controversial and maybe even thump someone live on air.

didn't say he was necessarily correct in all he says, it's more that he's not afraid to see how he see's it instead of the generic repetitive nonsense you heard from most pundits all singing from the same sheet.

Don’t know where to post this...anyone had the misfortune of tuning into SSN live from their Christmas party this afternoon? Truly a new low.

Garth Crooks, Danny Mills, Jermaine Jenas. Worst game of shag/marry/kill

[Henry Kissinger]

Merson on tonight's game:

‘It’s a nice big pitch for Liverpool…’

Pesky fact, it's literally the smallest pitch in the Prem.

[Learpholl]

Garth Crooks, Danny Mills, Jermaine Jenas. Worst game of shag/marry/kill

I think Jenas should be nowhere near those other two especially Danny Mills. Obviously it's subjective but I think Jenas is decent. Mills on the other hand is not only a terrible pundit but seems like a dreadful person.

[mattD]

Crooks spouts total shite but I wouldn’t call him a nasty person. Likewise Jenas, seems like an alright bloke but just dull as dishwater.

Danny Mills? Total c*nt of a human being all round. Pity the sad wankers who have to spend Christmas with that tit.

[slotmachine]

How the fuck is that tory quilt Mark Lawrenson on the LFC channel? Should be fucked off with the snide shit he has come out with over the years. After the Wolves game on the LFC channel he was on the reaction show with Babb and McAteer and it was brutal. The host mentions about how it was great seeing TAA in the away crowd and asked Lawro about would a player have done that in your day to which Lawro replied no because they would probably be killed cue 30 seconds of uncomfortable television were the host tried to move on but Lawro says the same thing again about fans were killing each other. Nice one Mark repeating the Tory and establishment agenda of de-humanising the football fan in the 80's. This is the same c*nt who in his column in the mirror said Rafa Benitez was using the Hillsborough disaster to get support from the fans and who can forget in the Arsenal cup game commentating for the BBC saying 'can we get back to the football now' after the fans protest. Horrible twat.

I can't stand Mills as a pundit or in the media, but I do feel sorry for what he and his wife went through and fair play to him for all the good work he has done since.
He lives just not too far from me, saw him in Aldi a few weeks ago so he can't be doing that well for himself or he'd be shopping in Waitrose.
Anyway, as a pundit he's a prick.....cant stand him. Leeds fans love him though, but they're mostly picks too.

Didn’t know that about his son which is awful - puts it in perspective so apologies for going overboard with the insult. Though I agree, still a god awful pundit.

Agreed detested him ever since those remarks, & as i've said, offers nothing as a pundit either, he's always moaning with snide remarks then trying to become the comedian, awful pundit.

[Nitramdorf]

I always vote for the prick in here but Garth Crooks can get fucked, heres his latest words of wisdom

"Newcastle should know better than to place hands on Salah in the penalty area , especially at Anfield. Such incidents only result in spot kicks"

What a fat fuck. Why do I have to donate money to these morons wages.

I never liked Crooks as a player. He was all elbows when anyone tried to get near him. A big fish in the paddling pool of his mind.

He thinks he is articulate and erudite, but he is little more than an average player making a living creating clickbait for the BBC. As a player he hated Souness because his own idol Glenn Hoddle used to get played off the park by him. Better passer, better tackler, better player and leader, and Souey knew it.
I can only wonder if when a youngster at Spurs, Souness pissed on Garth’s box of donuts

[idontknow]

He'd still have ate them.

[So… Howard Philips]

He'd still have ate them.

Prick - just beat me to it!

[lamonti]

Iain Dowie doing colour commentary on the fourth or fifth choice NBC-SN broadcasts I find on streams... christ almighty. A fucking moron.

[idontknow]

Prick - just beat me to it!
