Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD

[Born2Lose]

He unfortunately brings the same low level of professionalism to his commentating as he did to his footballing career.

I can listen to Sherer, Rio, Scholes, Hargreaves etc critcising other players but it's hard not to laugh when this guy who wasted his career starts doing it.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Voted UKIP...he's a cnut.

It was the only one he could read.

his football career was curtailed early wasn’t it? Let’s hope the same happens to his punditry.

 

[Theo Cherry]

Was about to post the same thing. The cynic in me thinks he’s only in the job because he’s mixed race and relatively well spoken. It certainly can’t be for his insight and knowledge.

Imagine if you said this about white people?

 

[Drainy]

Maybe they do need to look at banning heading in the modern game if we end up with pundits like this thick bastard

 

[charlenefan]

Minimal contact

 

[Random Task]

Someone needs to do something about Jermaine Jenas.

He must be stopped.

 

[Shane88]

Tackle turns VDB's ankle sideways.

"Nah, not enough contact for me."

His hate for United is fierce.

 

[El Zoido]

If he can’t hide his bias he shouldn’t be on tv.

 

[Jack-C20]

Impossible to enjoy a game with him involved. Looks for the negative in everything we do.

 

[Bubz27]

Jenas by name, knobhead by nature.

Downplays the deflection for their goal too. It was small but if there wasn't a deflection it goes straight at Henderson.

 

[Nero]

United must have caused this guy so much agony in his lifetime. This pleases me.

 

[slored1]

The second worst pundit after McManamamamaman. Cannot stand him.

 

[Escobar]

Never liked him, but then I didn't like Lineker

 

[Eckers99]

The second worst pundit after McManamamamaman. Cannot stand him.

I actually think he's worse. Mcmanaman's shtick is being overly exuberant and he genuinely seems to enjoy his job. Jenas is just a void. No charisma, no insight, nothing.

 

[Jack-C20]

Ffs he’s just popped up on a Curry’s advert as well. Can’t even enjoy half time without him.

 

[11101]

I think he's just quite thick.

Its properly shocking.

What makes it worse is, hand on heart, I've never heard Jenas say anything insightful. Potentially worse than Mark Lawrensen, Jim Beglin and Steve McMananman. Possibly because all three played the game to a higher level than Jenas ever has. As much as I dislike listening the old Liverpool lads, they can at least draw on the experience of winning titles and European Cups.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Absolute plank!

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

United must have caused this guy so much agony in his lifetime. This pleases me.

Played against us 24 times in his career I believe.

Zero wins against us.

 

[JB08]

Useless twat.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

He’s obviously got the best agent in the game.

 

[Haddock]

Isn't he slated to replace Gary Linekar as the main face of football on BBC? Maybe that's a good thing as he won't be able to express his garbage opinions anymore.

Aye because Lineker is known for his studied silence
If it happens we'll be stuck with Jenas for decades.

 

[Bubz27]

To be fair to him, and I don't like him, I think he's much better in the studio than commentating.

 

[Flexdegea]

'he makes stuff happen', is surely the most pointless insight ever when commenting on a game

 

[90 + 5min]

Yeah, exactly the same mate. The perfect example of it is when he acted the prick to Phil Neville:

And I echo your sentiments re Kilbane and Osman. Most of the pundits are decent and insightful to some degree, even Robbie Savage is, but Jenas and Keown are the only two who I honestly would mute the TV for.

Comedy. Yeah, you won one League Cup and suddenly you are the one who people should listen to.

 

[90 + 5min]

Someone needs to do something about Jermaine Jenas.

He must be stopped.

While I don’t understand what he is doing there looking at how many former players they can invite it gives average Joe a chance to get to that position one day. At least hope to get there. For those who want that.

 

[Trequarista10]

I knew we were going to be awarded a pen just by hearing Jenas moan about VAR. Basically, at 1-1, was doing some washing up and not listening. Suddenly hear Jenas moaning about VAR. Didn't mention any player names, teams, or that it was a review for a penalty. However, just his miserable, deflated, it's not fair tone of voice informed me that United were about to win a penalty.

Weirdly, when not discussing United I think hes alright. He's not a good pundit by any means, but tolerable/not noticeably shit.

 

[Hephaestus]

Wanted Shaw subbed off before the goals. Clueless cnut.

 

[Abraxas]

I find him an incredibly bland personality.

 

[#07]

Listening to Jenas, after listening to Emma Hayes on ITV, just highlights how he's just not up to it. Maybe it's harsh to pick him out given most colour commentary is garbage. But his droning on about Shaw was idiotic and at no point did he try to justify it with any tactical insight.

 

[Tomuś]

Why did he even get the job? So shallow and silly.

 

[Tom Cato]

Just hire Chris Kamara already

I'm 100% convinced he was just copying analysis he'd seen elsewhere (in this case from Mourinho) which is why he couldn't justify it.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Slagged him off throughout the match. Dumb tool

 

[Eugenius]

Wanted Shaw subbed off before the goals. Clueless cnut.

His big tactical suggestion was for Declan Rice to make a decoy run forward to surprise Germany. Average player and even worse pundit.

She was brilliant. Actual tactical insight & not repeating the same stuff over & again.

Jenas is useless like the rest of them. No personality, no insight. Might as well get a random fan on to provide the “expert analysis”, you’d get a similar output.

 

[Rado_N]

I find him an incredibly bland personality.

Bland would be a considerable improvement.

 

[Conor]

He is shocking, so annoying how he kept calling out the main commentator for stating normal commentary facts, like some sort of idiot down the pub.

 

[Eckers99]

The way he says their (thir) grinds my gears.
