I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing, the pundit’s opinion, or fans arguing about who started it
Paul Merson Pundit Thread

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It's about as boring as fans banging on about net spend.
He’s got a lorryload ‘a pace
Merson's analogy on Liverpool being at the top and not spending was almost poetic:
" There's a famous fast food chain that used to sell more chips and burgers than anyone; they still did adverts. You spend to stay at the top."
" There's a famous fast food chain that used to sell more chips and burgers than anyone; they still did adverts. You spend to stay at the top."
Kind of Sid Waddell.
haha or David Brent.......
Confuses himself at the beginning thinking that the McTominay foul was a stonewall penalty
Always thought Merson was an absolute bellend, but watching him just now on Harrys Heroes/ITV opening up about his alcoholism and gambling issues.. kind of warmed to him just a bit.

He's such a fool.
Unbelievable he still gets paid to talk so much rubbish, course he’s not the same player, we haven’t bought him to tear it up o the wing!
I liked him in Harry’s Heroes but on Soccer Saturday he’s more embarrassing than not.

Absolutely an idiot, I mean is there a team in England that can claim to have a better striker than Ronaldo, maybe Spurs. He cost £15m or so and you'll get two years out of him. Its a fantastic deal and a person would have to be an idiot to write him off based on his age at that price. Now if you shelled out £100m he'd have a point but a free Ronaldo regardless of wages is always a good deal.
You’d have to say he’s not human!
Wonderful insight
Why does Paul Merson look more and more like Ronnie Kray
Same behavioural traits too. Me and my mate used to do mersons predictions years ago for the weekend, and placed our predictions through how we thought he would guess the results.
As whacky as we went we never got it right, bar the spurs results as he always said they would lose
hopefully Ronaldo proves he talks shite… again.
Ronaldo at 36 has more pace than Kane. City bid £120m for him and Spurs said no. There's no chance we could have got him so...

Someone needs to tell him how much we paid for Sancho and Ronaldo. He seems to think it’s the same price that we would pay for Kane.
We got Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo for less than what Kane would cost.
Seriously Paul, stay off the drugs.
Levy won’t even accept a bid for the combined sum we paid for Ronaldo, Varane and Sancho, so feck that.
If Harry Kane wins you the league, why did Spurs finish 8th?!?
If Paul Merson posted on caf, he would be newbie forever. Also would be great achievement if he didn't end up getting ban for being so stupid.
5 minutes into Soccer Saturday and he's at it again:
- "Ronaldo not the same player"
- Called Sancho 'Sanchez' twice
- "If Ronaldo doesn't score today I'd be worried as a Man Utd fan"
- "Ronaldo not the same player"
- Called Sancho 'Sanchez' twice
- "If Ronaldo doesn't score today I'd be worried as a Man Utd fan"
Merson’s back on the coke from the sounds of it.
The whole lot of them are fecking idiots
Is this Gillette Soccer Saturday ?
God, he talks some sh*te but he's not alone on that panel.
He’s an absolute clown.
They were all having a dig at our move for Ronaldo.
Saying it blocks the route for Sancho, Greenwood and Rashford.
2 of them will start most games and it’s good to have depth but not at United apparently.

We are all aware the narrative would be completely different had he joined City. Its embarrassing.
Yes. The outdated show. It used to be a good watch when Best was on there
You say it’s outdated, but watch alongs seem to be all the rage these days. It seems everyone’s doing one.
Both City and United have 7 senior players for the front 3 positions. City have Silva, Torres, Mahrez, Sterling, Foden, Grealish and Jesus whereas we have Greenwood, Rashford, Amad, Sancho, Martial, Ronaldo and Cavani.
Was there a single article written after the Grealish signing, about what it would mean for Foden's development? Or Torres? I don't remember any when they were about to sign an 8th in Kane or Ronaldo either.

Not quite the same, moreover I think few people watch the watchalong and not the match at the same time. In fact, most people probably tune in when there's a goal to see the reactions or just tune in for a few minutes.
Talk about Utd get attention, talking about City interests no one.
Perhaps. But till the 3 pm blackout remains I think that show format stays relevant. Their problem is the lineup. It’s full of old cooks who have a painfully simplistic view of football. Le Tissier is ok at times but that’s about it.
Saying Chelsea is the best at bringing youngsters through now
Didn't know Marco Pierre White was on there
