Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Shearer just seems to be angry all the time and hate everyone. Jenas is damn near perfect.
He meansPerfect timing, I hope it's not seen as derailing the thread from Henry & punditry, but these are comments hot off the press from Bruce and I've heard similar comments from many pundits:
What English spirit? "Back"?? We have always been shit, with very, very limited success. What does this even mean? It is completely impossible to define. If it's impossible to define, it's impossible to identify and rectify the route causes. THIS is why we are shit.
I like Kevin Kilbane. He's likeable, down to earth and seems knowledgeable. Co commentates well and is a good studio pundit.
He's my exception to to rule, Me disliking all at the BBC.

As was famously said by Groucho Marx
“I find watching England on television very educating. Every time they appear on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
Met him walking down the High Road from Seven Sisters last season, spent a good 10mins chatting with him, very nice fella and agree quite like his footy chat but does lack a post analytical breakdown of the game, but as co-commentator he's not bad.

Hurtling abuse at others then fighting anyone around us...Thats the spirt!.....
Then theres the fans?
Interesting. Long ball next season.
Just listening to Hoddle talking about Woolwich, he says they don't need to buy players.
Yet towards the end of the season he had a disagreement with Redknapp when he said Spurs needed to "push on and buy players".
What fucking planet is he on?
BTW I've no issue with debating if we do or do not need to buy to add to our 1st 11, but in the context of comparisons between us & them he is surely talking absolute bollocks.

He's a legend as a player, but a very strange man beyond that. Shame really, but it's the same with many of our best.
One of the best players I have ever watched, on par with Platini and Cruyff.
Unfortunately I have always struggled with his punditry. On the times I agree with what he says, he will go on and say something else that I struggle with making it impossible to agree wholeheartedly.
I think he plays to the gallery a bit when in a studio. I think he is tactically more adept than Rednapp but I always find myself agreeing more with Redknapp.
He and Allen are also very, very negative when commentating on our games, drives me nuts when for every other game we've got bias from Liverpool, ManU, and Woolwich commentators cheering their teams goals.
Oh well.
If you took the player in Hoddle, and the manager in Redknapp, we'd have been laughing
This is what gets me the most.... It's almost.... Dare I say... spursy...
Thank God for the emergence of JJ, just a slight shame he's not a bit more of an icon of ours (Shearer blatantly looks down on him compared to Gullit, Lineker and the like) but I spose it's still a lot better than false yids like the Redknapps.
Mind you, Jamie fawning over us in the name of his dad during his spell here was its very own echelon of cringe.... In fact wasn't Jnr seen as a 'Liverpool pundit' up until then (pre-Carragher)?
Yeah, I don't want bias cringe. Good point on JJ for me he gets it spit on, he shows enthusiasm towards us but only when it reflects the performance. Seen him openly criticize when needed too.
Fucking hated that vid that went arround of Redknapp in a Corp. Box celebrating a goal, can't remember the game but guess it might have been a CL game?? So fucking fake, if that's how he feels when Spurs score why haven't we seen him do it again?
I genuinely believe Redknapp roots for us these days, as we're the high point of his career - it wouldn't make sense for a personality like him (borderline narcissist) not to.
If you go too far with that kind of personality, you get Sherwood - someone who will never root for us as he will refuse to see his faults.
I watched the BT equivalent of super Saturday on the last day of the season,Barton,Sutton Robbie what's is face was doing the analysis! Ffs it was like fecking school kids or work mates just taking the piss out of each other which by the way wasn't even funny! Speaking of super Saturday that just feckin grates Phil Thompson hyperventilating about Stoke getting a fecking corner...dearie me! Roy Keane like him he says how it is!
For me, Gary Neville is far & away the best pundit on TV. Can't stand his idiot brother though ! Quite like Souness, Roy Keane, Jermaine Jenas & pains me to say that of all the ex Woolwich pundits, Dixon is probably the only one who speaks any sense
