His Liverpool prediction
Says he can see Athletico sneaking a goal yet predicts Liverpool to win 2-0

He's the worst little irrelevant shite bag clinging on to some ancient fame he had for a shite haircut.I swear he's doing it just for the thread bumps now
His preview for our game (and semi review of our win over City)
LASK have a good reputation, which is only building. They are a fairly decent side. Again on Saturday, we were talking about Manchester United and whether they had turned a corner. They were vulnerable but Manchester City were so bad, even having so much possession.
They are still a side better suited to being a counter-attacking team. United have competition for places, their defence has improved and there is more momentum building. they have had a kind draw, but it will not be a walk in the park. It will be a score draw.
Compare that to his thoughts on Arsenal who were eliminated by Olympiakos (when predicting the Wolves game)
Olympiakos are unpredictable but they were decent at home to Arsenal for around 45 minutes. Arsenal were so poor at home, but credit to them they kept going and nicked a goal. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should have scored to put them out.

With an under 23's sideNot the maddest statement, not seen us play well once away in the Europa this year, We lost away at Astana ffs
He predicts us to lose every week but we’ve brought it on ourselves. We’ve shot ourselves in the foot so often we don’t have a foot to stand on now to bat away all the critics. If we can finally stop dropping points against lower ranked teams he’ll have to change his sometimes accurate pieces on us.With an under 23's side
We're on a 9 game unbeaten run and due to play some unknown Austrian team.He predicts us to lose every week but we’ve brought it on ourselves.

Nah he is talking about our vulnerability at the back. Hence why he mentioned de Gea and then proceeded to say our fullbacks are not good defendersMaybe he meant not great attackers.
This. I bet the football he does watch is the clips and highlights being shown in the studio and the odd game he’s forced to sit through on soccer Saturday.That’s screams someone who doesn’t really watch games and just waffles. Those lads just turn up on a Saturday and have a laugh. No research at all. If he watched United at all, he wouldn’t be saying that about AWB, even one game would tell you his obvious strengths.
He also predicted a win for Bournemouth, and is now an expert in why they didn’t win. Very harsh on Ake too, who is playing in a sub-par backline.
Sky really need to revamp soccer Saturday if they’re going to continue with it, and quickly. They’re all absolute dinosaurs, including Jeff. I’d switched to the BT Sport version anyway, it just seems much more modern
I've genuinely seen posters on this forum who have better football knowledge than those "pundits". I don't understand how they're all still employedSky really need to revamp soccer Saturday if they’re going to continue with it, and quickly. They’re all absolute dinosaurs, including Jeff.

Haven't watched the show in nearly five years for good reason.Nah he is talking about our vulnerability at the back. Hence why he mentioned de Gea and then proceeded to say our fullbacks are not good defenders
Haven't been watching over the past few years myself for the same reasons too.Haven't watched the show in nearly five years for good reason.
Let me guess he has Arsenal down as a 3-0 win or something?Has us for 2-2 against Villa next.

Soccer Saturday is just them all having a laugh to be honest. Then the studio for actual live games tend to be a lot more serious and professional. Whereas BT is definitely going down a more relaxed/modern route.Sky really need to revamp soccer Saturday if they’re going to continue with it, and quickly.

No way he said this.My favourite Charlie Nicholas-ism is still when he predicted Cameroon would win the 2010 World Cup due to their advantage of it being played in Africa.
Said that on live telly and everything. The panel around him acted as if that was a totally plausible prediction. Mad.
To be fair to Sky, Nev and Carra are excellent and I personally don't mind Jamie Redknapp. But otherwise, agreed - the standard of analysis across the pond (particularly with the NBA) is just light-years ahead of the football 'punditry' we get in the UK. Honestly, when Jose was out of work post-Utd/pre-Spurs it was the best the analysis got on Sky. Wenger, too, is excellent on (I think) beIN.How can you be this clueless and still be employed by a massive sports channel like Sky.
I watch a lot of American and Australian sports productions which shits all over ours - seriously, this is the best our country can do? A couple of clueless dinosaurs talking shit like any one of us would do down the pub.
Arsenal are motoring dont you knowLet me guess he has Arsenal down as a 3-0 win or something?
