Owen Hargreaves - The Pundit

[stevoc]

BT need to do us all a favour and sack one of Hargreaves or Owen, preferably both.

Two boring knobs with little or no insight. Hargo basically just kept repeating himself and he's been banging on about £200m since the start of the season.

 

[JackXX]

Incredibly bitter man. Think he feels United should have spent the 200 million on getting him some new knees.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Might be bitter or he might just hold us to a higher standard.

Still annoying as Feck though.

 

[Zoo]

Even Lineker picked up on his bitterness.

 

[Erebus]

He's a bitter twat simple as that!

An earlier post said these pundits are ruining TV football coverage, I couldn't agree more. If their views were so fecking important & as accurate as they believe they'd be in line for every managers job that comes up!

Playing a sport & coaching one are two hugely different viewpoints! And it is well known the best managers have never been the best players.

And what else fecks me off about them is they can't wait to criticise LVG & the style but feck me when we do get results & good performances they are surprisingly silent.

I don't care what style the team plays or whether it's shite to watch, I support United not their style of football, not the class of 92, not Fergie & not the seemingly endless list of ex players that want to slag off everything the manager does. Football evolves, unfortunately ex players don't!

Where's those feckers now who were criticising the Martial transfer???

Spot on.

 

[Ryan7]

Don't think he said anything overly wrong tonight. Certainly nowhere near as harsh as most of you lot

Indeed. He was right in what he was saying.

 

[seaNNN]

My least favourite pundit ever bar none, He's a horrible bitter little cretin and his accent does my nut in alone without all the rubbish he speaks I doubt theres anyone out there who enjoys listening to the cnut. He better get his p45 pronto or maybe I should just get into the habbit of changing the channel after the game.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Why would he be justifiably bitter?

I do not know if bitter is the right term but, I doubt he looks at his time at Manchester United fondly since his spent most of the time on the sidelines.

 

[Brwned]

Why would he be justifiably bitter?

Our medical team were the ones who recommended the surgeon who failed to address his injury properly, and as a result of that he lost the best years of his career.

Our medical team were the ones who recommended the surgeon who failed to address his injury properly, and as a result of that he lost the best years of his career.

That's odd because I remember at the time reading about our medical team recommending a less invasive approach, looking at 'management' rather than surgery as the way forward.
From my recollection it was Hargreaves, in the first instance, that sought remedy through surgery. I understood that his issue with Utd came principally from the medical teams use of injections to try and resolve the injury, which after three years of him being unavailable, was a last-ditch effort to get him playing again.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Just gave his finest moment as a pundit when he wasn't aware the cameras were even on him

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[FC Ronaldo]

@GifLord please say you have that moment?

 

[thejtrain]

What was said?

 

[Lawman]

What did he say/do?

 

[FC Ronaldo]

 

[bosnian_red]

What was said?

What did he say/do?

Said "How can you leave your only champions league winner on the bench?" Probably not realizing that Schweinsteiger and Mata have both won it before

 

[Keeps It tidy]

People make too big of a deal at minor gaffes like that.

 

[Tommy]

Yeah, I expected a lot more.

Hasn't Mata won every major honour? (EL/CL/PL/FAC/LC & Euro/WC?)

 

[thejtrain]

Cheers

 

[Speak]

Nope.

 

[dwd]

Agreed.

It's not like this is his job or anything.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He's mostly terrible and comes across as if he hates us, but Carrick being left out for Fellaini is a bit of a shock tbh.

 

[RedSky]

Top pundit. Just like Owen, both flawless.

That's sarcasm in case anyone didn't get it.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Would like a rule in the January transfer window whereby you can't buy from other Premier League teams. Wants Vardy and Mahrez to stay at Leicester only. The Daily Mail are going to hate him if you can only buy foreigners or non Premier League domestic players.

 

[Moriarty]

He's mostly terrible and comes across as if he hates us, but Carrick being left out for Fellaini is a bit of a shock tbh.

It's all those experiments we did on him.

 

[ivaldo]

Anyone else hear it?

'Man United dominated from start to the beginning'

 

[MDFC Manager]

Anyone else hear it?

[Cutch]

Do you think he wants Bayern Munich to win tonight? I'm finding it hard to tell.

I wonder also if he rates Douglas Costa

 

[J-Stander]

Every time I've watched a Bayern game he's on he's spent most of it talking about Costa. We get it ffs.

 

[Adisa]

He is nauseating.

 

[Cutch]

Every time I've watched a Bayern game he's on he's spent most of it talking about Costa. We get it ffs.

Think he's really trying to play the part of the Bundesliga expert. Spends all game trying to educate us on Bayern players as if we've never seen or heard tell of them before

 

[saivet]

Even if he talked sense, I still don't think I'd like him. Annoying voice.

 

[Antisocial]

Unbearable every time I've heard him commentate on Bayern - is he this bad when he commentates on City (I assume he must've done at least one of their games)?

 

[Bojan11]

I wish someone one vs ones him.

 

[Stretford End Phil]

Great player, poor pundit like so many of them and there are too many of them. TV football has become home to the guild of unemployed clueless footballers.

 

[buckooo1978]

BT sport really have assembled the worst lineup of pundits havent they

Michael Owen, Trevor Francis, Fletch and Savage, McManaman, Hargreaves, David James

A gruesome group of idiots, bores and muppets

 

[Loon]

I just couldn't listen to McManaman last night. He was like some gobby, half-pished bloke in the pub.

 

[Nucks]

Sounds like a bunch of bitter ex's in here.

Once you sang about letting him shag your wife.

Now? He has one unkind thing to say and he's practically the offspring of Hitler and Stalin.

That line up makes me actually quite like Savage. His tone of voice is like having a knitting needle jammed into your ear canal, but he seems to speak the most sense out of that group of goblins.

Rio's been pretty good too actually.


Owen Hargreaves is terrible at speaking, which is weird, since he is doing a job where he is paid to speak.
