It seems he bases his Teams of the Week/Day on who scores/who's a "name". I remember last season Lucas had a cracking game (can't remember which one), Torres scored (did little else) yet he was the one in the team, not Lucas. Crazy.

Yeah, Legend of the Mole-Faced Man.

I've just nearly choked on the coke I was drinking reading that. My missus come running in asking what was wrong as I was spluttering everywhere and trying to stop laughing. Needless to say she doesnt think its funny.

Brilliant. Still giggling now
All the badge kissing in the world don't make up for the fact that they are, frankly, not Liverpool Football Club. It's not their fault. Its just how it is.

It's the way he looks so serious, like he's about to say something profound and deep, then he'll come out with

"The reason they didn't win, is because they scored less goals than the opposition"

Funny, if I take what he says in isolation he's no more, no less enlightening than any other pundit on the telly.
Granted, he's got an odd look and manner about him, but hardly worthy of his own thread of derision, does it?
Where's the Andy Townsend thread then? The bent nosed cock.

Has said in his team of the week column on the BBC website about James Morrisson

"This is a player Roy Hodgson should now be taking a keen interest in."

Surprised he also didnt add that he was a fan of his early stuff mostly. This follows just a few weeks ago when he put five strikers and one midfielder in his team of the week. Crooks is stealing a living.
