I love the way he just slouches on the MOTD sofa with his arm stretched out across the length of it
Yet they still call Fergie Slur Alex and Whiskeynose when their own manager was as soppy as a sack of pickles all the time.Credit to him though for bringing Dalglish's drinking to the public's attention - it might not have been his place to do so but I think it has increased our understanding of Kenny and his actions over the last season, and perhaps made us a little bit more tolerant of the old soak.
But yes he is terrible - maybe the BBC should have Mick McCarthy commentating on all their games?
Meaning?Ah Leave ih ou!
Lawros a lad.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson at Anfield
Liverpool v Chelsea (1600 BST)
"For Liverpool's owners, everything has got to be young, be developed relatively cheaply and be built upon. Manager Brendan Rodgers fits into that very well.
"However, you can have all the young players in the world, but if you have no experienced players, you win nothing."

"Suarez will be really missed by his team-mates and I just have a feeling they will feel a little low and hurt. They'll all be looking around and thinking 'what will happen in the next few months?' I think Newcastle will win this one."
I agree he is bad but nowhere near as awful as Merson & Nicholas on Sky. Nicholas in particular, is absolutely awful. Read his predictions for both ourselves and Arsenal this week, if you haven’t.How is there not a bigger thread on him?
Looks like a hobo given a makeover on Football Focus here.
I can't decide if he's alright or annoying as feck. His jokes are delivered with a cocky snark I don't like though.
I genuinely didn’t know he was still going. Haven’t seen him on MOTD for ages.How is there not a bigger thread on him?

And if we did sign a striker, it'd be "Rashford should leave for more playing time as a striker because United clearly have no faith in him"He said he's surprised we didn't sign a striker because if Rashford falls over who are we going to use...obviously completely forgetting Martial is the striker interchanging with Rash.
Exactly!And if we did sign a striker, it'd be "Rashford should leave for more playing time as a striker because United clearly have no faith in him"
Mark Lawrenson claims BBC dropped him because he is ‘65 and a white male’

This seems to be the go to excuse for has been pundits and presenters these days. I wonder if this will draw ‘always using the race card’ and ‘diluting real racism’ criticisms?
It’s impossible to take anyone serious when they’re making quotes like this.“In all my time at the BBC, nobody ever said ‘you can’t say this or that’, but the ‘woke’ thing drives me bonkers,” he added. “I’ve been here for 20-odd years, I think I might know what to say and what not to say.”
He then gave an example of what he considered a “very early woke moment” from 25 years ago. Lawrenson claimed that when commentating on a Bradford City match in the days after the death of Princess Diana, he was advised by an editor to “not mention the wall” when describing free kicks.
What a wild ride those three decades were though. Liverpool didn't lose a single game in that period!Lawrenson benefitted from a hiring culture that gave him an advantage in getting that sort of role in the first place. If a change in that hiring culture was actually what saw dinosaurs like him get moved on then that would be to that new hiring culture's credit.
In reality though it likely had less to do with him being a white male and more to do with him already having offered three(?) decades of zero insight and even less enthusiam. Hardly surprising they might want to move on to new pundits at this point.
Replaced by Chris Sutton. Woke.It’s impossible to take anyone serious when they’re making quotes like this.
