he even got himself on Question Time once. No surprise he was dire, remember him using Rooney as an example for something completely irrelevant.
Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date
Actually giving me a sore head he’s like a woodpecker..
We haven't been great but I had to mute him, it was like the CAF match thread in audio, he talks so much sh**.
To be fair when has Lineker ever come up with any great insight? Their role is to basically sit while others do the real analysis
thanks, hadn't noticed that
I agree but feel he does that very well. They had that Irish DJ presenting for a year or two who had nothing to do with football yet just wanted to give his opinion about everything and make it all about himself - I don’t see why Gary needs replacing (assuming he hasn’t chosen to step down) - personally I like when they have a really stable lineup for a number of years.
To be fair Lineker should really be the one answering the questions than asking them, clearly more interesting and insightful to listen to than any of his pundits, tries his best to coax anything resembling a relevant point out of the idiots they sit next to him
Jenas just strikes me as pointlessly emotional about everything, gets quite defensive about his mediocre career, another like Owen who isn't fondly remembered anywhere, Owen was a top player at least
He irritates at a profound level.
probably asked him about left wing politics and he started babbling on about how it was a travesty that SAF played Rooney on the left wing and not the centre.
Haha, that picture of him and Fletcher in the corner, looked like they just got married.
I’d also add that I find Jenas completely inoffensive. I’d be OK with him eventually taking the spot and would hope that he, also, remains there a long time. It’s comforting with everything else changing around us all the time to be able to sit down on a saturday night and see the same old faces every week for years.
I do think it’s a bit indicative of standards that he’s considered presumably by default because he’s a formr pro that’s fairly well spoken and presentable.

He's awful
Does he want to be any more biased towards his old team
Mark Chapman should get the gig, does an excellent job on MOTD 2.
Is he the one commentating on our game right now? I can’t fecking stand him if so. He could suck the joy out of a fecking rainbow.
I can hear the anguish in his voice at that goal.
Didnt realise how bad a pundit he is especially during games I didn’t mind him on match of the day but he’s so negative on every thing we’ve done he’s highlighted every little mistake we make.
Forget turning off fake crowd notice, how do we mute this pillock? I detest having to sit through games listening to his crap for 90 minutes.
Well he could have called out Rashford for that clear dive but didn't
Yes. Been the co-commentator for our games so often in the last few weeks. Why can’t they find someone else?
He has bought into his own hype and you can feel the arrogance come from his every utterance. Linekar for all his faults does not give that same vibe when presenting.
The guy doesn't like us at all.
Classic overreaction. He was fine.
Doesn't even try to hide his dislike for United
The guy can easily give you migraine.
He's so bitter. 
I enjoyed his commentary today. It’s the genuine frustration he conveyed when Newcastle were struggling and the over-criticism of United when we were struggling that he needs to tone down.
It was like listening to FIFA commentary from the 90s. He was rambling on about how incredible Newcastle were playing right up until Rashford scored. Then he criticized everything Newcastle did. Then they scored, and it was thoroughly deserved.
Would love to hear him commentate on some of his many old p155 poor performances from the past. Really annoys me when he says "you got to do better than that" forgetting that he was a fraud himself.
The only thing he got right was pointing out Greenwood getting into where you want your striker to be. Everything else was just rambling.
He's really boring. The bias I find funny but he just puts me to sleep.
Agreed!
He was also accurate about how badly we stunk the place out for an hour.
Wow, he's having cringe fest on BT just now.
He proper loves himself doesn't he? What the hell is on about at the moment?
About as interesting as bowls
Hes speaking sense. This Newcastle isn't the same Newcastle from 10 games ago.
They played bettwen than us for 45 odd minutes
Once you realise you has the exact same voice as Martin Keown you just can't unhear it.
The hand in the pocket and the arrogant swagger. This is awful.
