Paul Merson is a cunt

Also it’s Mathys not Matias.

Merson on Nico Gonzalez signing for City:

"I've not seen this lad play so don't know too much about him." Blah blah blah, and then "The issue is that Gonzalez comes in for £50m, as soon as Rodri's fit that's it. I don't think he plays."

Let me get this straight. One, you haven't seen the lad play. Two, you still offer an opinion on whether he's going to play for City.

The bar for pundit, so-called expert, is sooooo low. I really wish, they'd use more people who actually knows and watches football beyond four PL matches a week, instead of random ex-pros.

Talk about stealing a living!
 
Now might be my imagination but on talksport there are quite a few pundits/experts/hacks etc and they all put their tuppence in and we( Tottenham) get our fair share of stick rightly so but two on talksport seem to me anyway speak kinda in our favour Andy Goldstein perhaps cos he’s on with Darren Bent & Troy Deeney both kinda stick up for us ….we’ll I think they do

Think they both just like winding up Woolwich fans tbh.
 
Never minded Alan Sheareer as a pundit but fuck me he got on my tits last night with his constant "Ref went to early with his cards " bollocks. Trossard deliberately brought down a player who was in a promising attacking position. It was a yellow card in any universe.
 
TNT is finally going to be watchable.

Rio Ferdinand is leaving

:mickyarm:

Unless he moves to another broadcaster we are forced to watch!

It’s a strange world footballing punditry. You can be hopelessly wrong on a near constant basis but you never really get called out on it. If anything it creates more attention for you to feed off and then talk about.

That’s always struck me as a bit bizarre.

Zero accountability. You can even beat them in their predictor app on a weekly basis if you could be bothered. At the end of the day they get paid for being more wrong than the top 10% of fans. If their wage actually depended on their predictions they would be broke.
 
I also was unfortunate enough to be forced to watch that moron ishowspeed be the worst influencer pundit in the history of football. He did not even have any idea that Carragher won a Champions League, tried to mock the trophy count of ex winning professionals, and proceeded to brag about beating a 47 year old retiree in a sprint race. I mean what the actual fuck is the world coming too. I'm no Carragher fan, but that cunt needed knocked the fuck out.
 
I'm happy for Wayne that he finally seems to be finding a role for himself, as a TV pundit.

You can be hopelessly wrong half a dozen times in the first 45 minutes but still be called an expert at half time.
