In all likelihood, everyone on The Kick Off has probably said worse off camera. But the fact is that when you're on camera you've got to accept a certain level of responsibility which is a higher standard than if you were simply in a pub chatting to the same people. A few days after it happened, Mckola tweeted about him stepping aside from The Kick Off: he made it clear that Brian is still is his friend. I'm sure him and Rory are grateful for what Brian did for their careers but if you're working in the media business then you've got to put yourself first before others.

Same, I wasn’t worried at any point in the game.
It actually looked like ETH changed his tactics and decided to let Newcastle come at us so we can hit them on the break. It was clever thinking as there was no need to exert excess energy pressing them too much. Once the first goal went in we could afford to just sit back and soak up pressure.
Yeah all the ASM fanbois were wetting their knickers about how he was going to wreck us. He had Dalot scared maybe twice and that was it. When AWB came on he may as well have asked to be subbed.
Ferguson and Keane never liked Newcastle or their fan base and it showed in their comments: "a wee club in the north east" and " I always thought they were an arrogant bunch, for a club that had won f*** all" 
Wouldn't be surprised if a more intense rivalry flared up if the two clubs get better in the seasons ahead.

What they Choose to forget is we had a very tough game against the La Liga leaders on Thursday night. They had all week to prepare for that game and barely left a glove on us
The gap is still huge. They have just benefitted this season with no European football. Next season they will be in some European competition most likely and they will start to realise how tough it is.

The rest of the league should be thanking us for beating them. Imagine the hights of delusion we'd be hearing now from that lot if they'd won.
What's this guy's problem with Ten Hag? I get that we ruined his childhood but he seems to really have it out for our manager. I wouldn't have thought a Carabou Cup final loss would've hurt Newcastle fans this badly 6 months on.
It's more of a question why anybody would pay such a simpleton any mind.
Why does his opinion on anything matter?
Genuine question.

I’m surprised he is still going and has the budget to keep going. He’s fell off massively and the views have plummeted.
I never really found him that insightful. It was tune in for his rants or not at all.
He's thick as pig shit.
Thought he got cancelled.
People still watch this wanker?
Find it hard to not respect the man who sacked Laurence. That guy was a prime cnut
I'm surprised he's still a thing to be honest. Who could really take anything he says seriously?
He sacked him? I thought that it’s basically been swept under the carpet and never spoken about.
We need to stop paying attention to these influencers who hire a studio and a camera and then speak as though they have any credibility as a football voice.
Half of them get their "knowledge" from FIFA.
Close thread./
Newcastle fans genuinely thought they were gonna romp that cup final. It just brought back memories of 1996 for a lot of them.
Are they any different than forum posters? Its just people with opinions.
He’s a fat racist clown who likes people to shit on his chest.
When you’ve got clown like Rory Jennings getting Talksport gigs & sharing shows with ‘pundits’ like Neville & Carragher then yes these guys are rather different from forum posters.
The opinion isn’t the issue, is the credence given to these fans.
Well the forum is different but thats about it.
I suppose we should blame the YouTube audience for the current pack of would-be pundits that see the limelight because of their social media following, and their abilitty to portray a "mate vs mate" argument in a entertaining (for some) manner. What sells isnt the content of the discussion of their opinions, its purely about the banter. Ben Foster (curiously enough) might want to take some of the blame for helping lift some of these guys into credibility through feature on his own podcast/show.
Someone like Micah Richards who has had a extremely succcessful career as a footballer at least has a lot of credit for to his name despite being known these days primarily for being an extremely likeable guy that is peak banter on TV.
I suppose the "banter" reporter is a lot easier to digest once they have played football, as opposed to being fans who are just opinionated dudes with a camera. Probably helps that Micah actually has a personality as well. Chris Kamara is another guy who I can sit and listen to talk nonsense all day about fotball, simply for being ridiculously likeable and fun to listen to. Then again all of these guys have actual TV careers because of their football background, not YouTube careers based on their clickrate.
Jennings has a background in acting so already had a name for himself/was involved in the tv world so not that unexpected that he has contacts and is able to pop up on this stuff but it's really who you know in the industry at times or who you choose to be pally with.
