I have never heard so much crap come out of one person's mouth as Paul Merson's mouth. He is a useless pundit yet still has a well-paid job, so my only conclusion is that he is paid to be a controversial prick.
Charlie Nicholas and Matt le Tissier too. The whole of that old Soccer Saturday lot are just grim. Despite their job being to watch football, they know so little about it. Le Tissier seems to be a conspiracy theorist lunatic these days too.Paul Merson

Ahh he ain’t that bad. A bit annoying, a bit hyperactive, but seems fine. The others are aggressively opinionated and spout shit, whereas Savage is basically like listening to Sky fan zone. I think he’s really inoffensive on commentary, it’s not like Merson sitting round the table on Soccer Saturday talking absolute shite but acting like he’s some sort of authority or expert.And the worst of the worst - Robbie Savage. Total twat.
OofHe's a sacking away from relapsing and definite death. Sky don't want the fall out from that.
Two words; he's alright, goodnight.And the worst of the worst - Robbie Savage. Total twat.
It was a little crass but probably not far from the truth.
Two words. You're drunk.Two words; he's alright, goodnight.
Two words. You're drunk.
Savage is a bit of a cringe but he isn't an insufferable bell end like Merson, Thompson, Nicholas etc.And the worst of the worst - Robbie Savage. Total twat.
Yep, I wouldn’t take his thoughts and opinions that seriously as he chats absolute horse manure more often than not.His reaction to Pochettino to Southampton was like that. And then there was his famous Marco Silva rant.
He’s not really subtle in his ridiculous agenda to push for English managers. If Brexit were a person…
"Manchester City paying so much money for Kevin De Bruyne is an absolute joke.
I thought he was out of his depth at Chelsea. He never once went out on the pitch and looked like he belonged there. I don't think he could handle it - and now he's going to City for about three times what Wolfsburg paid for him. Not for me.
He'll be on the bench at City for a start, because you can't change a winning team. Who does he get in ahead of? No-one. They're all playing too well.
But he didn't like it when he was on the bench at Chelsea and he ended up getting bombed out because Jose Mourinho questioned his attitude.
Okay, he's had a good season in Germany. But there are only a few decent clubs there really, aren't there? It's not the Premier League.
I just think their money could have been better spent elsewhere. They need a forward. Aguero and Bony are not enough."
Hes a dinosaur.
This. And hates United.I don't think he's a prick. I think he's just a bit thick. He's also fried most of his brain cells.
and he is a die hard Chelsea fan so i'll let him off. Charlie Nicholas i couldnt stand on Soccer Saturday though. His bias was out of this world for Arsenal, and Thommo's was for Lpool; but he toned it down a bit toward the end. These days, Carragher has taken that awardMerson is an alcoholic, impulsive gambler. Not sure he is a great pundit but I also think it is good that he has an outlet/job.
Personally, I don't agree with all his views, but equally I don't think he says anything to wind anyone up/with malice. Additionally, I reckon if you met him in real life he would probably come across as down to earth, even if a little over the top at times.
All in all, I don't really have an issue with him as there are a lot worse people in better jobs than him.
He's thick as hell but nothing he said there was controversial, I mean its a valid concern. RR has never coached at this level so people thinking this appointment is a slam dunk are getting ahead of themselves.
