Apologies if fixtures...

Chris Sutton, in my view, an unwelcome, new regular part of R5L's pundit team.

Crass, loud, unfunny, I switch over.

On tonight's programme (the God-like) Ian Wright sounded genuinely pi55ed off with one of his stupid remarks.

So, in this vein, which footie pundits would you rather not hear from?

Paul Merson

Good call re Sutton.

Other than the usual suspects, I’ll throw in Le Tissier.

I have Soccer Saturday recorded and invariably he does our games, rarely gives any credit and when we’re losing has a smug grin on his face.....

Hates the fact we are fast becoming the premier club in the South with Bournemouth.

Just a fat has-been with a big nose.....

(Great player though).

Agree. Tendency to be a bully.

Alan Smith smug, biased to Arsenal and plain rubbish.

All of them really though on tv with the exception of Gary Neville who I find informative and interesting even if I don't always agree.

I switched on the TV yesterday to watch the Huddersfield/Man City game and the first words I heard were: "we now join our commentary team of Peter Drury and Andy Townsend." :facepalm:

My two least favourite commentators. Townsend adding absolutely no value and stating the obvious. Drury with his ridiculous levels of hyperbole, trying to make out every match is the greatest match there has ever been.

My favourite Townsend insight was after Danilo's opener took a huge deflection off Schindler's head before ending up in the back of the net: "It's actually a poor touch from Schindler" :lolol:

Ian Wright can be unrealistically positive. Everton are having a shocking season despite a £400m squad, with key signings made last summer. Wright wouldn’t accept that. The informed Everton forum grandoldteam is pretty much as one scathing of Silva and most signings.

No no, Westlander, I must correct you... Sutton made a pitifully stupid crack based on Genoa [cake], desperate on so many levels*.

I can't quote verbatim but IW said words to the effect of 'what are you even doing? This is meant to be a serious programme FFS', and he wasn't at all cheery with it!

*One being only Sutton and a handful of Great Aunts even know that Genoa cake is a thing. [I hasten to add I had to google it!]

I heard the tumbleweed moment. So bad, it was repeated, but still went down like a lead balloon.

Sutton has followed the Robbie Savage model when he first started. The bigger the bell end you are, the more callers you get and controversy you create. It's as subtle as a lorry through your front door but such is any debate in 2019.

Souness on sky is comedy. He hates Pogba and United and is like something off of Viz when he gets started. His double standards and ego are off the scale.

I've really gone off Alex Scott. Over exposed and not much to say. A female Jamie Redknapp.

Danny Murphy is my most underrated albeit I understand his voice isn't for everyone. I always find him worth listening to.

Weststander · Jan 21, 2019

Love the punditry of G.Neville, Carragher, Gerrard and Lampard on BT (shame they went into management), Souness, Keown, Rio Ferdinand, Bilic, Wright and for pure anger Roy Keane. Each tell the truth, not lickers. Plenty of atrocious fouls within that lot, but that shouldn’t preclude them from having a punditry career.

In contrast, inane boot licking and stating the obvious from - Jenas, Murphy, Lee Dixon, Shearer, Bright (great that he was head hunted for his new hapless career), Owen, McManaman, Hoddle, Merson, Keith Andrews, Kilbane and Le Saux.

Brazil. Alan that is.

Raleigh Chopper · Jan 21, 2019

Pundits are normally boring, sarcastic, egotistical or biased towards a club they once played for.
So occasionally one comes along that make you laugh, so my vote goes to Dean Saunders.

A great show with Ryan Mason (but who’s so Spuds biased).

David Pleat should stick to kerb crawling,allegedly.

Does Ray Hudson still do BeinSports in the US?

He was brilliant...

Jermaine Jenas is a plonker of the highest degree. Unbelievably biased. Garth Crooks can do one as well

exKT17 · Jan 21, 2019

If we're getting to nominate our favourites may I put in a word for Pat Nevin - seems to me he's smart, knowledgable, considered and unegotistical

I like Murphy and Jenas especially on Motd.

Not allegedly. Two convictions.

I quite like him, aside from his ability to pronounce the name of any 'wog'.

'Shimbombo' is one of my favourites.

The ****.
