City scumbag!
Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date
Alex Scott is so much better than him and would be a way better face for BBC football presenting.
Be a shame to lose her insights mind, which certainly wouldn't be the case with Jenas.
Does anyone else remember how hopeless he was after Chelsea knocked out Spurs in the FA cup a few seasons ago? Like listening to the reasonings a 12 year old blubbering Spurs fan at that point.

Yes being a presenter is about smoothness, charm, humour. Des Lynam was the king. Lineker was actually terrible at first but learnt quickly.
James Richardson is excellent at what he does but I don't think he matches the BBC style, and I can't see them picking him. They are also generally a bit obsessed with picking a former player even though they are often not the best.
Jake Humphrey is ok on BT Sport, though he lacks a bit of sparkle.
Gabby Yorath is actually pretty good.
Said it months ago, this thread is ancient. Jenas isn't replacing Linekar, if he was going to it would have happened. This thread gets bumped and people get angry all over again. Rinse and repeat.
Now you narrowed it down to just England.
Now you changed the your narrativ to only England...
Out of all the fotballers in the world, both Savage and Jenas are in an elite 1% or maybe lower.
The wording 'very average ' is silly and frankly very untrue.
Very average as you Said would mean Jenas is below the top 50% in the league... Which also isnt true.
He's so shit. He managed to make a historic moment for England feel bland and boring. Bring back Andy Gray. They can keep Keyes in Dubai but Gray was the best colour commentator we've ever had.
Jenas has the terrible habit of setting ridiculous expectations on certain players.
A good example was a moment against Croatia where the ball fell to Sterling 20+ yards out from an awkward angle, Sterling took it on the volley and Jenas started going on about what a great scoring opportunity it was. It just sounds ridiculous coming from a player who was as average as he was for most of his career.

Changed my narrative?
Eh that was my first post on the topic.
Can you quote where I said very average mate? Are you even keeping track of who you're talking to.
Savage and Jenas were never in the top 1% of players no matter the context nor how you crunch the numbers. England, Europe, Worldwide doesn't matter, the top 1% at any given time is about 400-500 players, usually at the top 12-15 clubs in the World (Europe). Savage and Jenas never played for any of those clubs.
It's LINEKER bud...please just once get it right
I could have sworn I wrote Lineker ffs?!It's LINEKER bud...please just once get it right
I changed the spelling at least twice while making that post, must have changed it to make it wrong again. Daft little name anyway.It's like when people call a pro footballer "crap". Always tickles me, but we all do it.
The truth is probably that Jenas was average.... "in terms of midfielders at top 8 clubs".
Which is still obviously an incredible standard to get to.
Haha, no problems bud. It's one of the oddest mis-spells I see on here. Maybe cos I love a bit of Gaz.I could have sworn I wrote Lineker ffs?!
He said walker and him will have a great connection from their time at city. They were together like a week.
Didn't hear that one though
This guy chats shit and needs to get banged.
Yeah it was definitely about having an understanding with Walker.
Sancho left a month after Walker signed.

Yeah I’m not surprised hearing that but seeing as it’s Paddy Power, I just had to double check.
He thought Kroos retired from all football just then.
Everytime I read this title thread it depresses me. 
Seems like a bloke that just says random stuff that comes to mind. You don't get the sense much thought is going into it.
That is exactly the feeling I get when I listen to him. Someone needs to tell him that he doesn’t have to verbalise every single half-baked thought that he has…..
More from the start of the thread but why do people hate Linekar? Is it a United thing that I've missed because I think he's great. Right amount of wit for a presenter.
It was his constant use of ‘innit’ last night that grated for me. ‘Great pass that woz innit?’ Ugh! Isn’t it isn’t hard to say is it, especially if your job revolves around speaking coherently. There was a period in the second half where he dropped 3 innit bombs in about a minute. Wanker.
He’s part of the looney left
Language evolves get over it
What what? Hahahaha
Innit
It was annoying how it kept referring to Sancho as Jadon like they were best friends.
They know each other well from their time together at City
Well yeah he's a football pundit, very few of them ever sound like they know what the feck they're talking about.
When he does it with Trent people say it's easier to say than the surname.
Maybe he can't deal with surnames over 5 letters?
It's Lineker. Why do so many struggle with this?
Probably the same lot that spell McGuire.
Posted this in the match day thread. But this sums him up:
Jermaine Jenas “Sancho will have a really good understanding with Walker from their time at Man City”.
he’s bloody clueless.

Oops.
Oh no, racist right would have been better!
Co-commenting the Liverpool game on BT right now. Not going to lie, it's hard to bear listening to him, the combination of ostentation and blundering cluelessness is something else.
You can’t get away from him. He’s everywhere.
The best one today was when he said it makes no difference to play at 12:30 or 5:30
Every time he says 'Trent' I actually wince.
