Topic: Football commentator/pundits

Shearer was fine.  Arsenal played really well in the first half, we couldn't get out and they had plenty of great opportunities that they managed to squander and he was basically saying as much.  That doesn't make him a biased pundit.

Give me Shearer over Neville all day.

[Skeeve]

I agree, thought Mowbray and Shearer were far superior to the utter drivel served up by Sky/Amazon/BT. Any perceived bias towards Arsenal was probably them being swept up by the crowd more than anything. With the exception of Tyldesley (who is flawed but has always put in a good performance when we perform) and McCoist, there's not many more who are just fine.

Perceived bias such as him idiotically suggesting that arsenal should have been 5-0 up by halftime?

I think every time he mentioned Arsenal should’ve been ahead, he had to add an extra goal on.

Shearer wasn't terrible yesterday (a bit sore from the Newcastle game) but even he wouldn't have been as bad as Neville against Newcastle.

[bravoco]

I know nothing about him, but Gary Breen was the 2nd commentator on the Premier Sports feed I was watching in the FA Cup game with Arsenal and I thought his comments were a lot more insightful than your average.

Who was the co commentator on Sky today?  Thought he was pretty good.

[bradders1011]

Don Goodman. He's pretty good, tends to call it as he sees it. He usually does Sky's Football League games so isn't marinated in Sky's PL narrative bullshit.

[slaphead]

Was it Goodman or the other fella who said, when talking about the Penalty shout, "that's just bad defending and you can't get penalised for that"
The fuck is that supposed to mean?  You can just be shit now and it's a good enough reason to not give penalties

Yeah so if you’re shit, or you slip, it is not a penalty against Liverpool. What the fuck is a penalty now then?

[Pistolero]

Goodman's not bad....the worst thing you can say about him is his voice sounds a bit like Andy Hinchcliffe's....thankfully the similarity stops there.

Don Goodman. He's very good. Moment his voice came on (I thought Carra would be on) I put my remote down ...

[mattD]

Bloody excellent is Don Goodman. Why does he not do more games and why do we only have to be subjected to the awful whinings of Neville and Carra?

[DangerScouse]

Yeah, he's fine. Was quick to call out the manc's antics twice!

I thought it was Hinchcliffe when I heard him. Specially the penalty part but yeah he seems alright. They really should go with different people more often and help to keep it fresh because hearing the same old boring clap trap from Neville and Carragher is very tiring.

Jason Cundy is a bitter gobshite. Crap player and an even worse pundit.

Rio Ferdinand - Man City have best recruitment team. Alvarez where did they find him from

[slaphead]

Stephen Hendry is brilliant in the snooker as a commentator. Exactly what you want to hear from someone on comms. Knows his stuff, puts it across well, gives you an insight into what the players think or why they do what they do. Really excellent.

I like Rio as all his predictions end up being completely wrong !!

Just hope he doesnt tip us to win anything 🤣🤣

Him and Ratboy are always completely wrong when it comes to predictions.

I loved Ratboys one a few years back.  Varane + Sancho + Kane = Title
When they got Ronaldo instead of Kane he was even more cocky too. He just forgot to add on all the other stuff they needed like a good manager, few decent midfielders, 1 or 2 defenders, good striker , few players with who's attitude wasn't awful and a decent structure.

[Funky_Gibbons]

On BT Sports the other day (or TNT whatever it's called nowadays) they had a Scottish commentator doing a Premier League or FA Cup game. I didn't catch his name but I've heard him commentating on Scottish games before. His commentary was very good and he kept it nice a simple, just talked about what was happening in the game without trying to impose his opinions on the listeners.

Only problem was it sounded like Savage was his co-commentator which spoilt it somewhat.

Surprised it wasn't their "put her everywhere idiot" Lucy "I've fuck all of sense to say" Ward.

Jenas, Savage, Aluko, Ward, Carney,Ratboy,Carra - the lot of them are shite

I didn't think Neville would ever top saying that Liverpool would like to swap our midfield for United's at the start of the season.

Then he said Arsenal had a better team 1-11 than Liverpool and should take them on.

Now he seems to think Spurs have a got a better team than us too.

He chats utter gibberish about Liverpool. There's no comparison with Carragher at all, who's pretty sensible when commenting on United.

He's like that kid who always says i hate your team blah blah his act is wearing very thin these days

Love Stephen Hendry - his YouTube channel is a pleasure to watch. His interview on Simon Jordan's podcast is good also.

My opinion of Jordan is heavily conflicted - arrogant Tory arsehole the majority of the time, but has plenty of takes on the world of sport I agree with or at least respect and understand, his interviews pull no punches.

[Bread]

Now he seems to think Spurs have a got a better team than us too.

My favourite part about him tipping Spurs to finish above us is that his argument centres around 5 players that Spurs currently have missing. Whilst completely ignoring the 7 that are currently unavailable for us.

Must check that out.
I agree on Jordan. He's a bit of a peacock most of the time. I always find it interesting to hear a take from the ownership/financial side of football which you don't get too often and it can open your eyes to a few things. He's definitely hypocritical on things but what I do like about him is that he has no time for people like Gary Neville and Piers Moron

[tubby]

Jordan is pretty good, dunno where the Tory thing is coming from, he's regularly laid into them.  I expect he's someone who just votes with whichever party suits him best at the time.

Not a lover of him but I did read his autobiography recently as I thought it might be an interesting read and it was.

Neville on dragons den bigging himself up 🤣

[bradders1011]

Making loads of dough kicking a football then plonking it into commercial, hotels and higher-end residential property in a city booming with new construction, run by people very pleased with your aforementioned kicking career. It's proper Art of the Deal shit.

His pitch to the guy at the end was great. 'Peter Jones is great with e-commerce, Steven is brilliant growing businesses with the brand side of things, and I can...um I'll be at the end of the phone if you ever want a chat'.

Troy Deeney on his sacking:

“They told me it was because of results but I have trouble believing that. I feel to a certain extent, I have been used for my contacts and pulling power.”

[slaphead]

Troy Deeney is a clown. Nothing to do with not winning a game and publicly humiliating his players eh.
29 days in the job, yet one of his players got a touch about from before his time
He hit out at Reece Brown for being late and Fankaty Dabo not being good enough “for five, six, seven, eight nine weeks”

He was a player/coach there before becoming manager to be fair to him. Still a cock though.

[Legs]

Deeney got sacked for his outbursts no doubt about that as you cant speak in public like that.

FGR have been poor for a year so its not all on him results wise imo he has took over a shambles but he knew that when he put his head on the chopping block.

There might be some truth in what he says about players being late we  have seen that with Sakho and Utd with Sancho but he doesnt have the skills to handle that.

[Pistolero]

Jesus fuckin Christ....Lucy Ward......the relentless verbal diarrhoea of Darren Fletcher....combined with the Harry Enfield 'Only Me' cuntishness of Andy Hinchcliffe. .and the state the blindingly obvious boring bollocks of Jermaine Jenas....it's quite the combination...
