How annoying is Jamie Redknapp?

[Dhav]

For some reason, as a pundit this guy never fails to get on my nerves.

In his playing days for us he was a fragile pretty boy who refused to get stuck in (until he started playing with Ince who helped raise his game) and his punditry career is mirroring his playing days - aesthetically satisfying but absolutely no substance behind it.

His bullshit about Frank Lampard being the best midfielder in the world is as deluded and ignorant as it is loyal to his family. If this guy is not going to say anything vaguely plausible then why bother having him on tv?

If I hear again what a "great human being" Frank Lampard is, I'm going to cancel my Sky Sports subscription.

You worry too much about things you have no effect on nor any control over.

He just isn't going to dis his family is he?

Just turn the sound off, turn the TV over, and only return when the match starts are some options, I have the TV on and listen to R5 for most of the weekend, most of the time actually, so am oblivious to pundits and their witterings :)

One thing wrong with my theory, I managed to miss MOTD last night :(

Isn't that what being a football fan is all about. It's ok to be irrational some times.

[lfc4ever]

And it's upto others (our friends) to offer some sanity when we go OTT irrational :)

[rubyred]

He usually says positive things about us though so I don't mind him to be honest, compared to some of the other pundits on the telly.

Well said. Though i fear that there will be some 'he was a red, never hear a bad word said against an ex-red' comments.

[Bob]

I like Jamie to be fair, i'll never hear a bad word said against him! ;)

The 'aesthetically satisfying' comment from Dhavlos made me more uneasy than anything Jamie ever said.

[FowlerLeftFoot]

fat frank is his cousin, what do u expect him to say? "i played much better than fat frank when i am not injured" ?

[Rich]

Fat Frank and Redknapp are/were pretty similar players...

What I mean by that is that he looks the part.

But he completely blows the illusion when he opens his mouth. Similar to when he was on the pitch, looked the part but I'm not sure what he actually added to the team.

I dont expect him to propagate the most nonsensical notion in football that Lampard was "the best midfielder in the world"

A bit harsh mate,how can you judge soemone who's only played a handful of games!! :D

I liked jamie as a player,one of my favorites when he was in the the team,but I have to admit I do cinge when I watch him as pundit.

[FowlerLeftFoot]

not the best, but surely one of the best, hate to admit.

[Mumsafan]

Seeing as how he is serious eye candy he can say what the hell he wants, I don't care :D

[Charlie_B]

Hahaha. true. But does the fact that he's related to Frank Lampard not bother you slightly?

[Mumsafan]

No not at all. It's not his fault his mother's sister is a total dimwit when it comes to choosing husbands is it?

[Charlie_B]

That is true... But do you not worry about Stevie's mental health re: Curran.?

good god fella, go crack one off or something :crackoff:


him and gary macca were great on saturday morning, he was a bit too chelsea loving on Sunday, but who cares. he's doing well for himself after being robbed of a very good career.

[Dhav]

.
An exellent idea

[Mumsafan]

What? I don't know what you're talking about here. Are you suggesting that he's mentally ill because his fiance is Alex Curran? :confused:

[Slim]

To be fair he never said Lampard was the best midfielder in the world. Richard Keys challenged him about it he confirmed he said "one of the best."

[G_Man]

It'd be nice for him to say soemthing critical about ANY player/team/manager for a change. He's the opposite of Hansen who slags everyone, Redknapp just praises and encourages everyone.
It doesn't bother me though,good player and all round general nice lad.

[Rocket]

and his wife is a little on the fit side :crackoff:

[G_Man]

Even if she has got a "monkey face" :jizz: ;)

[Dhav]

She is nice, very short though, got very short legs.
