Owen Hargreaves - The Pundit
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
The icing on the cake was when he incessantly praised Neuer for not saving Arsenals 2nd goal, he's hilariously biased toward German teams/players.
He had an enormous hard on for Douglas Costa the whole game. Dunno how many times he chose to remind us that he's fast and has been great in the Bundesliga this season. Think i heard him say he was 19/20 though which was badly wrong (he's 25).
The BT Sport in-between commentators are so bad that Michael Owen is their best by default.
Hes not at the level of Andy Townsend yet but he's well on his way.
I really hope he isn't commentating on our game tomorrow

I heard that and i thought that's bullshit
Guy has been around for years. Hargreaves is a massive bellend pure and simple. Was laughing when he was saying "thats the best save I've ever seen - how has he got there!". What is he thinking!I don't mind Andy, this guy takes the biscuit.
The amount of money BT Sport have spent on getting all these matches and the best Colour Commentators they could put out tonight were this feckwit and Robbie Savage....
He was talking about Bellerin tbf
I liked it when he said Bayern's scouting network deserve a lot of credit for bringing in Thiago. As in, Thiago the massively rated Barcelona wonderkid who everyone had already known about for literally years
He knows feck all about football.
Got absolutely slammed on Twitter.
Not to mention Tiago who played for Bayern's manager at his previous club! Great scouting that!
They're giving Alonso too much space.
He said that over and over and over and over...
He said that over and over and over and over...
Think he said Costa was 19 but I thought I must have heard wrong.
He probably meant Coman.
The upside is maybe he doesn't get our game tonight.
Tell me this is true..I don't wanna hear why we need to play more balls over the top and how we need to move the ball faster x73 times in the first half

He really isn't that bad.
There are far worse.

He's the best pundit/commentator I've ever heard. He, along with BT Sport, are really cementing themselves as the new best football network. They've got the best build up, best entertainment shows, best channel numbers...
The best.
Can't stand him, ruins games for me. He makes Michael Owen look good, says it all.
It's almost as if thick footballers aren't that entertaining to listen to...
Baffles me why their verbal and analytical skills would be below-par given their careers kicking a ball around a pitch.
But yeah, Hargreaves is up there with the worst.

I'm fairly certain it's Owen calling our match tonight.
Oh joy....is it possible to watch a whole match on mute? He's just downright boring to listen to but he's much better than Hargreaves
He's bad, but the fact that the people saying he's bad cannot even get right some things they're accusing him of getting wrong(he didn't say Costa was still young) is ironically hilarious in itself.
He's terrible, and his quite obvious bias against all things Utd is pretty ridiculous at times.
He's not really worth getting upset about.
Waster.
Waster.
Actually about this, with the technology today how is it possible that we still cannot just push a button and then just get the sound from the stadium with no commentary??
Dear god no....
What´s wrong with these idiots hiring those planks? The dynamic duo of Owen and Owen is by far the worst piece of commentating we will ever hear in our life span.. Thank god for TV makers still having mute on the remotes..
I hope he`s not on tonight , got to talk the most shite of all and he is really anti United . Never thought I would be praying for Michael Owen ffs .
This really, i'd prefer to listen to Owen than Hargreaves.
He almost creamed himself when Ox came on the pitch last night, "I love watching him play, I don't know how he doesn't get in the Arsenal team, stunning player"
German sky does offer that. Don't know anywhere else.
He has serious hatred for Man Utd. Can't understand how an ex player can hate us that much.
Amazing!
I doubt he looks at his time at Manchester United fondly.
I don't understand it either, he's intensely bitter, for no reason at all.
We stuck by him and paid all medical bills for much longer than most clubs would and he even won a CL medal ffs!
It'd be fun to see how him and Rio interact considering how much Rio loves us.
I think some people have bias towards not liking Hargreaves on here.
Agreed @Sigma - he's not that bad.
I like him as a bloke. He's a fairly weak commentator in truth but nothing to cause much hate beyond the acceptance of his clear limitations. His biggest flaw for me is a convulsion every 10 mins or so to say something controversial or critical for the sake of it. It's almost a deliberate twitch to create a niche for himself and 9/10 it hasn't been thought out as well as it should be and makes him look daft.
He's not in Beglin's level of incompetence just yet.

I'm not usually one for getting into theories about how commentators/pundits are biased against United. We hear it all the time and its rarely true, and I genuinely believe that the very large majority are pretty neutral, but with Hargreaves, his bias against us is so blatant its cringeworthy. Away from that, he's a dreadful commentator/pundit.
He also continually criticised the way Arsenal were set up despite the fact they approached the match just about perfectly. Alonso was doing nothing with all his space and Arsenal were always dangerous on the break. The worst of a poor nights commentary was when it took them at least a minute to realise Arsenal had scored their second goal.
Not surprising really considering his attitude towards Utd.
I liked him as a player and thought we could've really done with him during his spell out, but he has shown himself to be a bit of a massive tit in recent years.
