Some guy loses it with Steve Claridge
This is brilliant and so true he's a lower level pundit part of the Sky Analysts team that resides in the Conference league of Analysts just ahead of ITV :whatever:
Steve, I am delighted you have written this, and I hope you can read, and do read, this response.
You are the most arrogant, ill-mannered bully on television.
You hector, harass, disrupt, interject and insult viewers with alarming regularity. All of which might be understandable, if you made anything like a lucid point.
You main retort often seems to centre around 'You have to have played the game to know, mate'.
You should tell this so Wenger, Mourinho, or Benitez, and see what they think of this 'horse to be a jockey' logic.
Last week, a southern Irish caller made a perfectly legitimate claim that the England squad was not, as is so often touted, world class. He underlined the fact that playing for mid to lower table Middlesbrough, Downing was among this number and part of this malaise - but his argument was much more extensive than that, had you bothered to listen.
You seized on this minor point and said 'So that's your argument, Downing isn't good enough becuase he plays for Middlesbrough?'
When the guy had the cajones to say, yes, it was PART of his argument, you muttered that he was a cock, or something similar. So much so that even big boy Newbon nearly followed through and reprimanded you.
You were a terrible player, you're a terrible commentator, and you're a worse person.
Do us all a favour and sling your hook.
They probably won't print this in Pravda, but if they do, I hope you read it.
Didn't you use to tear you hair out as part of some psychiatric condition as player? That's how we all feel listening to you talk.
