Clinton Morrison for me - the bloke is an utter plank!
I was aware that he was stealing a living in North America now. Very sorry.
Commentators - Clyde Tyldesley and screaming Jonathan Pearce are shite (and yes, I am aware that Pearce is much loved in these parts).

Pearce finds it difficult to hide his liking of The Albion and when he commentates he knows twice as much about us than any other commentator.

i dont really get the anti-pundit thing, aside a few that steal a living, most seem decent enough analysis if not insightfull enough for some or a bit repetitious. i think this might be because many here as regular watchers of football dont need the level of insight they give. and are you the target audience, or is it the armchair viewer, the irregular football watcher, getting their fill only on TV?

Alex Scott and any other woman. They've not played the game to a decent standard therefore their opinions have no validity. What an earth must Carragher and Souness think when they have to share a studio with Alex Scott.
If you take every single ounce of twattery from Garth Crooks, Chris Sutton, Paul ‘Merse’ Merson, Danny Murphy, Alan Brazil, Richard Keys, Alan Shearer and Robbie Savage, add it all together into one massive tw4t, and make it wear an “I am a tw4t” hat, and it still wouldn’t be half as much as an annoying smug tw4t as Matt Dawson.
Actually, not Alan Brazil. That was a step too far.

Good shout he can barely string a sentence together
Will chuck in Peter Beagrie and Danny Higginbotham who I can only assume sky are only paying about £15 an appearance as I cannot fathom another reason for why I have to listen to their drivel on SSN
Good point, well made ... and he wouldn't be half as annoying as Austin Healey
But Matt Dawson isn't really a pundit though ... he's more of a presenter and a 'personality'
I'm not denying that rugby and cricket do have tedious pundits - there's Ian Botham, for example, but behind the smugness there's often an acute brain.
I have to confess I don't listen to TalkShiite so I can't comment on their pundits, who I gather are Alan 'coronary' Brazil, Jackson Cunnty, and Steve (brother of Phil) 'Jags', Jagielka, former captain of Shrewsbury town, the only gay in the meadow.
So limiting myself to mainstream telly and radio, my verdict is.....they are all OK. It's all about opinions. Isn't it.
Mind you, that Chris Sutton is getting a bit too cocky for my liking. I think it's time he was reminded on the radio about his embarrassing exit from Norwich, the 'do you know who I am' in the taxi, and then the cry baby tears when he was arrested. I can't find a link but I remember it well, and thought he was a gold plated twunt ever after.

Or Sutton refusing to play for an England level below the senior team. At a time when England had half a dozen forwards far, far better than him. Childish. The sort of thing he’d now condemn.

Agree with this. If I was to list my top 50 sports summarisers, probably there wouldn't be a single footballer. (there would be at least 20 cricket ones). Yet if I was to list my bottom 10, i'm sure they would all be footballers. Though I disagree that public school has nothing to do with it. They seem to teach people to be good communicators at those places

Shearer was useless at the beginning but can't fault him too much these days
