    Pundits

    These get on my nerves. Watch a live game and after these thickos will talk about it for another 90 minutes like they are professor's of physics. These people as kids were mostly the dunces at school who spent most of the lessons picking their noses and flicking the bogies at classmates. They probably couldn't wipe their own bum's properly and had difficulty spelling their own names.
    They get paid thousands for explaining a childishly simple game like it was rocket science.
    They come out with statements like, If he had been on his line he might have saved it.
    Wow, such intellect, we would never have come to a conclusion like that without the help of these boffins.
    When the game has finished we always ask the bar staff to put on Hit's From the Seventies.
    I know I go on about this but it really pees me off and one of the reasons I find the game I once loved boring these day's.
    What's funny is the expensive suits they wear to explain a game of luck and chance to people. Before they were footballers they probably had no arse in their trousers.
    The great players of the past had to get a job when they finished their playing careers.

    It would help if they could speak English properly, Clinton Morrison a prime example, another one is the bleached blonde haired Dyke from bin dipper land.

    Apart from them being terrible in usage of proper English the other thing I hate is the matiness of most of them and the “in” jokes and and smugness associated.

    It’s one of the reasons I like Keane as a pundit, he calls it as he sees it and he doesn’t mind ruffling feathers with fellow pundits.

    I remember the days when Brian Moore would both commentate and then break the game down afterwards on his own.

    I prefer pundits in the NFL…..they really don’t give a f u c k about calling players and coaches out.

    You are right Mick, it's all a back slapping exercise.
    You need someone like Paxman to ask the questions, they are too comfortable in their own self esteem.
    When they comment on England games and saying what they should be doing, I would say, and what exactly did you win playing for England?

    I think that it is very insulting to viewers for these dreadful pundits to be paid large sums of money to talk rubbish. Why do you need anybody to tell you what you have just seen? Lineker, for example, should be more than capable of analysing any controversial incidents without asking some idiot’s opinion. The BBC, Sky and BTSport could all save a considerable amount of money by axing pundits. How on Earth anyone can justify using the likes of Clinton Morrison, the Ferdinands (Anton, in particular, is a thick as **** and unable to speak one coherent sentence) and as someone mentioned, the frightful scouse woman. The in-match pundits/Co-commentators are also very irritating, especially the women, they just can’t stop talking and none of it is ever anything of interest. When you think about it, the best football experience is actually being there in the ground, so, when watching on TV, surely it would be better to have the option of turning off the commentary and just having the crowd noise, as you would have if you were there.
