Sky will love Sourness tonight. The amount of engagements they'll get off his comments. They'll be hawking that to advertisers.
Graeme Sourness | Retires from “punditry”

Yeah that's the key thing.
I thought his actual argument was fair enough, I think it was a foul by Pogba and we got away with it.
It was the sheer anger of him that was mental, he looked like he was going to burst into tears. He was also so rude to Robbie Keane , just shouting over him and dismissing him even though he was actually agreeing with Souness.
Weirdo.
He spent more time on Pogba though (“leg breaker”) and hardly anything on Mike Dean or VAR. He made it seem (to anyone just watching him) that Pogba had got away with a dangerous foul when it’s up to the ref/VAR to decide… personally, if he’d given a FK, I’d have thought ok (just) but the lad runs two steps, looks at Dean, hops then falls over- it’s screaming “DIVE”
I don't see why Souness who achieved more in the game and was a great midfielder in his own right would be jealous of Pogba. It's scouse ABU nonsense as usual from the likes of Souness and co. You know it's bullshit when even Carragher said it was not a foul, after he sprnt all game downplaying United as a team.
feck Graham sourness. feck him.
Has he ever called out Salah for dives? Called a Liverpool player for obvious fouls not called? Gone OTT on a Liverpool player committing a foul?
This man need his blood pressure checked everytime he talks about Pogba.
If i'm being honest - that beard with the grey hair? He's a hottie.
Oh man, imagine if we win the league, this guy would probably walk out the studio live on air he'd be that fuming.
i bet he shags around
an odious human being
I didnt get that impression. I watched it on Sky. He said it could been a leg breaker and I agree with this.
What about his big daft blindingly white comedy teeth ?
Any 50/50 challenge can be a leg breaker. He was being sensationalist.
Leg breaker! Hahahaha.Leg breaker
Talk about inherent bias. The guy is a cnut.
If I was 20 years older i'd be swiping right for him.
Doesn't stop him being a hottie.
Had he hit him more straight it, it would've been a red card.
He didn't though. He barely clipped his shin pad. It's a foul but he was hyping it up beyond belief. It didn't even put Neves on the deck so it was hardly going to be a leg breaker FFS.
The irony is it wouldn't have been a foul in his day, and it's not a foul these days as they've changed the rules to play on for minor touches like that.
Add in that their man was totally unaffected until he clocked the ball had gone to a different position, and I don't think we've had a steal here.
Well, outside of the result itself obviously

What might have happened is totally irrelevant.
Im not sure what you’re saying? I mentioned “leg breaker “?
And so what? Every tackle COULD BE a leg breaker if two inches higher, two inches to the left, a second later… it wasn’t and it didn’t.
If De Geas hand was two inches higher, Wolves score… if Jiminez dives two inches higher, maybe Dean sees it’s a dive… if if if.
I watched it too (and posted a clip earlier in this thread). He hardly mentions VAR or Dean and talks over both Keanes even though they’re effectively agreeing it was a free kick. No ones arguing (in this thread) about the foul or not, this is about Souness and his bias against one player
Its incessant now and tiring.
It wasn't even a sock tearer

Sounness must be devastated that Pogba is superior with the ball than he ever was is now doing his patented challenges
But he didn't. I don't get this argument to be honest. You can say that about any tackle. The one they played the ball out, wolves player stepped on Bruno foot. Had been little up could have broke his leg. But it was not.
It's like saying Andersonson could have made a good post...
but he didn't.

If I was in that studio, there’s no way I don’t say ”and you’d know Graeme wouldn’t you?”

According to Souness, his tackles don't matter as it was a "different generation." Carragher mentions his tackle on Nani that went unpunished and was far more severe than Pogba's incident. Wonder if Souness called for Carragher's sending off in 2011? I can't find any mention by Souness of the incident.

I don't know if it's a foul or not but I do know that if the roles were reversed then Redcafe would have a very different opinion on the matter. That's football for you though.
“If that hits you, it might kill you”
keep em coming Sourness
keep em coming Sourness
He did shock us all going on about a Salah dive once.
But quickly qualified it with a "they all do it" disclaimer.
I think that tackle is more shameful than Keane's on Halaand as Keane never fell to his knees in a pathetic attempt to claim he was the injured party.
If you are going to tackle like that own it and go to the opponent and stomp his face for good measure
Souness was very soft i guess
Why do Sky continue to employ this idiot?I couldn't believe how angry he was getting talking about the Pogba foul
.
Fecking wanker.

No, but tbf I don’t blame him for bias.
Call him out on it sure, but don’t blame him for it.
Gary Neville could stand to be more bias towards United. I’d like him a lot more.
Most other United pundits are bias to some degree.
Just to play devils advocate: Even if Pobas foot is "2 inches to the right". He hits Neves's shinguard with the end of his foot where the least amount of force is. Unless Neves is a man made of grass, at worst he'd feel a "punch" to the shin and that'd be that.
Graeme Souness is also a man who hates Paul Pogba over all, and Manchester United 5% less. He's the epithome of a dickead

Sounnes doing a talksport audition live on Sky. What a prick.
He is really bad on Man Utd games
He needs to grow up really, He is being paid for this and should be more professional
