Worst part is that they keep inviting him back on TVChelsea supporter Rob Wotton doesn’t even hide his distaste for United on the Football Show.

He’s the presenter and it’s even worse when you have Dipper Stephen Warnock and his Jurgen Klopp tribute teeth.Worst part is that they keep inviting him back on TV
The thing is, your average footballer isn’t that bright. So when you bring in a very intelligent manager in Jose, it’s light and day the quality vs Michael Owen and Souness.Yeah, I only caught a couple of his appearances - but he was actually pretty impressive.
We love to hate him (well, many) - but Jose isn't an idiot, far from it. And when he just talks about football, without any "mindgames" or pettiness, he's a class above your average pundit.
Fletcher's been really impressive from the little I've seen. Clearly capable of analysing a game properly.I thought our Darren Fletcher was pretty good. Whatever happened to Terry Venables?
Eurosport used them for the Africa Cup of Nations a few years ago. Definitely added a lot of value as they were pretty insightful and naturally well read.Would people like to see Journalists ?
I can't stand Neville, I think he's over the top and theatrical and biased. I think Charrager is a lot better. The Pogba debate between Charrager and Neville summed the pair up very well. Both made well constructed points but Charrager was spot on.Gary Neville, undoubtedly.
He makes his points perfectly and backs it up with great analysis. Carragher is good too but Neville for me changed the landscape of a pundit and raised the bar.
Keane is just generally a wind up merchant, he’s really no different from souness and his ilk and we’d probably loathe him if he didn’t play for Man Utd.
100%. I listen to a lot of podcasts and their analysis is way more insightful and well informed. Ex-players definitely have a valuable perspective but I don't understand why journalists never get a look-in. Jonathon Wilson talking about Diego Maradona on last week's Guardian Football weekly gave me goosebumps. Keown, Murphy and Shearer spaffing tired old cliches are stealing a living by comparison.Would people like to see Journalists ?
He speaks really well about all aspects of football. What you don't hear are stories about how cnutish some of the other chairmen were to him and how corrupt some agents are.Not a tv pundit but I quite like listening to what Simon Jordan has to say on TalkSPORT regarding the running of clubs and especially dealing with agents.....seems like he didn’t have great experiences doing either!
Neville and Carragher.
It's puzzled me for some time now what precise demographic broadcasters target (for the main part). If I'm sat in some random pub, watching a game of football, the general consensus is usually that the pundits are shite (at least that is a more common view than them being brilliant). People who watch a lot of football generally don't like dumbed-down punditry - they find it tedious, pointless even.I’d love if one channel decides to do things a bit differently and bring in intellectual pundits who can analyse the game rather than biased ex players. I guess stereotypically, the average football fan isn’t that bright either so the analysis needs to be dumbed down.
Do those guys get on TV? I shall check them out.True. Not everyone can be a Tim Vickery or Andy Brassell.
I’ll go with the complete reverse of the bolded section.Carragher is good Neville is a twat.
Hargreaves is usually very good. Not sure about Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the weekend who sat with a sneer whenever Keane was speaking and then just repeated what Keane had said for his own analysis.

Dion Dublin is objective and talks sense.
he’s been terrific.Maybe not the right thread but Rob Green is doing well today in the sky sports studio. Very well spoken, informative and not full of the typical waffle yet.
Definitely would like to see him a bit more, even joining carragher and Neville's stuff, think he would work well with them.he’s been terrific.
as much as I love Evra, he’s out him totally on the shade today - and would assume he would on every day.
whilst he will clearly have some affiliations with clubs (three of which are playing tonight, and assume that’s why he’s on) he had insight, rather than blind bias which is true of most pundits.
