BT Sport need to employ a pundit team worthy of getting this CL deal.

I would switch off if I turned on the tv and saw the likes of Owen and David James. They need CL winners and managers.

The benchmark Sky have set is very high.

This is high from Sky?

Only Redknapp who's not worth listening too. Souness, Ballack, Neville all on the CL shows too.

Ballacks pretty shit. I actually think Souness is a great pundit.

In general as pundits I prefer listening to ex-managers than ex-footballers

That's because you can't be a successful manager without being able to talk or think.

(Now waiting for a counterexample.)

"I don't write. I couldn't even fill a team sheet in. I can't work a computer, I don't know what an email is, I spell like a 2-year-old, I have never sent a fax and I've never even sent a text message."

(None of those quotes are made up! )

he does that to build his image of simple guy we can all relate to. the anti-Wenger.
meanwhile, at home, Harry's tweeting and instragramming it up with Daisy by his side

No.

I think his deriding comments on Arsenal's "tippy tappy" football when we were riding high in the league was bullshit. We don't play that anymore. He bigged up City and Chelsea saying they were the two best teams in the league after Chelsea's fluke win against City. Yet if we had the start they had against the same teams we would be written off immediately.

You'd have been hard pushed to find a pundit in the last few weeks who was putting our chances ahead of those 2. Every week its a big joke on MOTD "Can Arsenal win the title" "No" titter titter. Not much better on Sky, ITV, etc Everyone is still writing us off.

I like Souness as a pundit too for the same reason I like most of Sky's pundits, they're all interesting except maybe Redknapp.

Hansen used to be ok in that sense (despite being a tit) but these days he seems as sedated as his colleagues at the BBC. Biggest collection of dullards I've ever seen. Keown is pretty good, he can do better.

BT are the worst of the lot though, look like they've got out of their way to hire the few ex pro's who probably don't watch any football in their spare time. They're all flakey as hell too.

Souness is better when he's on Irish tv and he allowed say what he wants, even get technical about pros and cons of different set ups or just have a laugh. BBC is sickening to watch, it's like a scene from that Hannibal tv show. All 3 lads valiumed half to death so they can't get of the sofa. Brains half scouped out from behind and all they can do is mutter one of about 4 football phrases as there forced to watch stoke against Bolton against there will.

The only pundits I like are Neville and Dixon, the rest are boring and/or idiots.

Don't like Neville on commentary and I don't see why Sky stick him there when you have Jamie Redknapp, of all people, front and centre every week.

and i mean paul i mean merson i mean is the biggest i mean eediat going i mean.

Used to like Souness but over last few months i've noticed he chats a load of bollocks. Can't remember many examples but there was one recently (probably August) where his main point was "what does Ramsey actually do" because he said he wasn't defensive and he doesn't score goals.

Me neither

Keown is my favourite. So intelligent and insightful.
