Topic: Who is the best pundit? 2021 edition

[Original]

Think Strachan is one of the better ones when talking about the game but yeah, really poor choice of words.

Poor choice of words? Fucking hell he not only compared being black to being a paedophile, it's his indignation that people aren't allowed to call black players names anymore. Fuck me Gordon.

I'd like to hope that it was just a miscommunication. Maybe he was trying to ask a more measured, if provocative, philosophical question about whether it's seemly or acceptable to sledge convicted criminals about their crimes? Or something like that.

But if so he did it very badly and, really, a lightweight football debate show is not really the place for that kind of complex social and behavioral question.

Or maybe he's just a thick twat

Anyone checked on Martin Tyler this morning? Sounded like he’d just found out his cat had died as Naby equalised last night.

At least Carragher was there to balance it out. However, I would rather we didn't have people with pro or anti Liverpool bias anywhere near our games. It feels like the Sky coverage is becoming the Neville and Carragher show for the bantz generation and not much better than that fan zone shite they used to do. I bet if they could they would have both commentating on all LFC and MUFC games.

Sky's coverage was pretty shambolic last night all over, constantly doing close ups and missing the game and the chaotic interviews before and after the game.

Don't watch sky. Nbc or other streams

I honestly do t think Strachan is racist, it was just a monumentally stupid thing to say.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Martin Tyler is one complete dick

Was nearly in tears when we scored.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Why isn't Graeme 'I hate Liverpool' Le Saux on the list?

C*nt.

Thats what I got from it. I don't think it was intending say you 'oh, you can't call black players names anymore', just that 'is it ok to call Adam Johnson names?". A reidiculous comparison bringing race into it however agreed.

Yeah, came across as bone headed rather than anything malicious.

[hixxstar]

Adrian Durham is very good at his job, which is to annoy people so much they ring in to have a row with him. I doubt he seriously believes even half of what he says.

He annoys the f*ck out of me     .. of course it's to get people to call in etc... but it's just weak in my opinion. also i can just turn it off 
but it's the way he just says a 'throw away' comment about whatever, whoever with no content at all (except in his fuzzy brain).. Amateur at best 
at the other end of the scale you could listen to stuff like 'My Sporting Life' series with Danny kelly, wish he did more again...

[arthur sarnoff]

Adrian Durham is indeed a colossal prick, but I can't really blame him for it.  It's what he's paid to be.  He's a professional troll, and if you get wound up enough to phone his show, he's done his job.

To echo other's thoughts, Talksport is just one massive gathering of Dickheads.  Paul Hawksbee is the only exception, in that I think he's a genuinely amusing bloke who you could have a pint with.

[redgriffin73]

Strachan has apologised and been dropped by Sky.

[1892tillforever]

Is it Jonathan Pearce that commentates our games on MOTD? The last couple of weeks he has been an absolute weapon; even more so than usual.

"Salah was offside, definitely." Even though there was a hair's breadth in it and attackers are meant to get the benefit of the doubt.

"The defender pulls his leg away JUST in time." When you can clearly see a foul. 

[tubby]

Salah was definitely offside, there's no benefit of the doubt if you're clearly offside.

Cundy and whoever does that late show with him are also a terrible pair of c*nts

He's known as Jason Cunty in this household

I rather enjoy Max Rushden and Barry Glendenning too, purely for the fact they're the opposite to Durnham et al, who seem to thrive on absolutes and sensationalism.

This made me laugh as he said it just as the replay shows Keira’s leg being taken out by the defender. He’s implying there was no contact when there clearly was.

“The referee has got that right, in my opinion, the Liverpool management, players and fans won’t agree with me” - at least he got that part right.

This week it’s Garth Crooks. His team of the week has enough players from Lfc but his little sly digs are enough to piss off the supporters.
On Van Dijk: “Real Madrid and Barcelona must be in frantic talks with their banks about how much it might cost to buy Van Dijk. An audacious bid is bound to happen sooner or later - if it hasn't already.”

On Henderson : “Captain fantastic took to the stage against Southampton and told Jurgen Klopp where he can stick his position on the bench.Personally, I think Henderson has been treated rather harshly with Klopp relegating him to substitute. ”

On Salah : “The Egypt international signalled his comeback with a trademark finish and ripped off his shirt with a defiant stare at the Liverpool fans who dared to doubt him. “

[Redsnappa]

I thang yew 

Unfortunately I voted donkey's years ago, but I'd give him all three votes if that was possible after his one-eyed 'analysis' of our game the other night ... c*nt

...whilst also rimming the arseholes at Old Trafford when on about Wan-Bissaka:

"This fabulous talent has not looked back since his Premier League debut at Fulham at the start of the season. This kid is a must for Manchester United."

[Kekule]

On Van Dijk: “Real Madrid and Barcelona must be in frantic talks with their banks about how much it might cost to buy Van Dijk. An audacious bid is bound to happen sooner or later - if it hasn't already.”

That’s the umpteenth time he’s tried to act as Van Dijk’s agent and encouraged another team to bid for him.  He’s utterly desperate for Van Dijk to be away from Anfield. Obviously upset that we’ve been streets ahead of Spurs and United this season.

[KillieRed]

Why isn't Graeme 'I hate Liverpool' Le Saux on the list?

C*nt.

On the Keita non-penalty: "there was no contact there...(on seeing replay)...okay there was contact, but he`s thrown himself to the ground"...

Yeah, maybe because the defender took his legs from under him.

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Pearce was ridiculous with that foul - and it was a foul - on Keita.

I came in to talk about Tyler though because I did a bit of an experiment yesterday and watched a full non Liverpool game with him commentating. The result:

He annoyed me almost as much as when watching a Liverpool game. Friday, he was pathetic though, he so obviously dislikes Liverpool. That in itself doesn't bother me, but the fact that there is night and day between his commentaries on Liverpool and United shows he is incapable of remaining neutral.

i'd listen to Durham over Cunty any day of the week.  The bloke has pure hatred for us.

Fucking hell he needs his head checking. Seems like the lights are on but nobody is home.

Goldstein. Childish, irritating bellend. Treats callers with absolute contempt but there's no way he'd dare behave in that way to someone's face, he'd be nice as pie. I have no idea how that bloke has a job on national radio, he doesn't have any knowledge of the game or even a background in sport. I bet he can't believe his luck.

[lucabrasi]

I think the closer we get the more true colours are going to emerge with certain pundits. We see it with our ex players already cheering us on. People like Crooks will be coming out of the woodwork with their little digs.

I just saw that twats team of the week comments, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a ‘must’ for the Mancs because he looks a decent prospect because no one else signs decent players and the Mancs are pinnacle of football and Van Dijk must be going to Real or Barca because he’s too good for us presumably.

Prick.

And Ian Wright is chief Liverpool cheerleader.

One of my fave players as a kid and a top fella in general, he's backed Liverpool for the title since the very beginning.

Garth Crooks has always been a bellend, got binned long ago from doing post match interviews because of his idiotic long winded questions[why say one word when you can say a billion], archetype of mouth being light centuries ahead of his brain, one of the worst pundits up there.

No wonder the mods ban half the transfer speculation. The papers picked up on this morons comments and run with Van Dijk to Barca. He’s supposed to do piece every week on players that stand out and has to add a circle of shit. Probably sitting back all happy with himself.

I think he also said VVD played a fantastic ball to Firmino for Henderson’s goal without realising it was Matip. Silly twat.
