O/T:- What is it about Jermaine Jenas?

[legs77]

I can't recall the Salford comments at all I was too busy looking at Moniz ' glorious coat but if I had it would be water off a ducks back. Personally I wouldn't take any comments from him, Adam Virgo et al to heart. I feel an element of the Notts fanbase are very sensitive to this kind of thing.

He's neither great nor awful to me. He's very comfortable on TV, he can finish a sentence without needlessly repeating himself (I'm looking at you Alan Shearer!) Which is a big plus. He's far less annoying that Martin (you weren't that good) Keown. He's not Davie Proven or Gary Neville but he's no Garth Crooks either (thank god).

I dont think we are sensitive I dont care about Virgo or pundits to be honest but he was pathetic that night.

I dont want him to be our cheerleader either but he came over as a smug prick.

I take it you havent seen him on One Show then he is levels down from proper presenters like Jones/Baker.

Proven is excellent but Neville is a complete idiot the bloke pretty much felt United fans were ok to get a game called off in COVID times putting peoples lives at risk.

His club go spend over £100m on 3 players and owners at his club were ok again he also seems totally fine with Saudi govt buying Newcastle no doubt to open the door for equally horrible people to buy his club.

Just listen to him on Sky along with Carragher they go on like 14 year olds with no insight at all

The One Show? Nope, sorry never seen an episode not my thing. I've only seen him linked to football (+ one average documentary) and he's very comfortable on screen compared to many.

Disagree regarding G Nev. I'm talking football analyst, co-commentator he's excellent, great insight. I understand his personality and confidence/arrogance could put people off but in terms of his content he knows his stuff. He's on a different level to some of the other main channel analysts.

All opinions so all good

I will partially agree Neville and Carragher used to be great but it seems Sky have told them to go into "bantz" mode.

He just cannot hide his bias he slagged off LVG & Mourinho but as his mate is in charge after spending £400m plus he says very little.

I get you dont wanna slag your mate off but he is the worst manager in the league without doubt !

Can't see a problem with him myself.

I’m a big fan of this forum, but grown adults being mardy cos a bloke was nasty about their football team about 5 years ago is a bit crap. And we were utter shyte that night.

I'm sure not one of us has given it a thought since that night, many moons ago but as sidders was asking it seemed rude to not answer.
I do recall him being a bit rude about us even before a ball was kicked.

Broad shoulders There's a few on here who seem incredibly sensitive. JJ is a Nottingham lad who supports Forest. Get over it. I was irritated a little during the Salford game by his comments, but far more by the shameful performance.

[crazyfists]

He's boring. I'm not even bothered about Salford, just think he's so dull to listen to.

[LaxtonLad]

Jenas is quite articulate when he's not talking about Notts but he knows nothing about the lower leagues anyway.

Paul Ince - remember him? He can only talk about Liverpool.

I quite like Robbie Savage, he injects a humorous slant on the game.

Steve Mcmanaman has the whiny voice forever associated with Liverpool "Scousers", I can't stick him at any price. Luckily when he's talking on one BT channel there's always a game on another.

The punter who really annoys me the most is Chris Sutton on BT Sport. His arrogance and sneering put down of anyone with a different opinion to his borders on outright rudeness - dare to disagree with him!

To be fair to Jermaine Jenas he did a very interesting documentary for the BBC (I think) regarding the Met's 'Stop & Search' policy. However, I tend to try and ignore him if he's a pundit on something I'm watching, as others have said there's absolutely no depth to his persona or indeed knowledge.

I see there's a couple of mentions of Alex Scott and to be honest she has grown on me and I don't mind her at all, I'd much rather watch her than Claire Balding. Also, Emma hayes is actually a really good pundit and is probably more interesting and knowledgeable than most of the male pundits. BT sports offering for the NL is just dreadful.

Emma Hayes was fantastic during the Euros.
