Gary Neville as a pundit I can just about deal with, I normally go do something at half time anyway, but as a co-commentator, ffs Sky

He's genuinely better than any of their other pundits and co-commentators.

The move to that souless bowl has had a real impact on his buying ability IMO. He is a sore loser but you cannot deny his quality as a manager. Speaking of managers did anyone hear what Maradona said about Fergie?

Outspoken Argentina legend Diego Maradona has branded Sir Alex Ferguson "a joke" for voicing his opinion over the Carlos Tevez saga. "Ferguson should not be talking about it because he became a big coach only after he got big players," slammed Maradona, who now who coaches Al Wasl in Dubai.

How did Redknapp get manager of the month???

He's not a terrible Pundit, but I reserve 4oclock on a Saturday for Wilkins .

Dunno but it's usually a curse, isnt it?

Wilkins is truly dire.

It amazes me how sky can get the cricket coverage spot on with their presenters and commentator's but keep getting their biggest cash cow wrong.

Looks like this is going to be a cracking game with hopefully 0 goals

Could it be to do with the fact that most of Sky's cricket punters are just normal, intelligent folk who appreciate genuine analysis and insight, whereas most Sky generation football fans are Soccer AM types, who have no real footballing knowledge and just prefer to sit there, chanting 'easy! easy!' and clapping their hands like a bunch of demented sea-lions.

So Sky base their pundit-recruitment strategy on what suits the audience.

You're missing the point here mate - Neville's actually their best one at the moment

Which says it all

[Craig_H]

partly, yes

I still maintain, he's pretty good :bird:

[Craig_H]

Gervinho's hair is, quite frankly, an utter absurdity.

[RichC]

what a soft freekick

[Leyton388]

Gervinho's hair is, quite frankly, an utter absurdity.

You think he should shave it off?

[Craig_H]

He should just make it normal. This is ridiculous.


On another issue, how come our derby has to be 12:45pm (to stop people spending hours in the boozer beforehand) but the Arsenal Spurs game can be 4pm?

[Chris]

That was atrocious by Mertesacker, just stood and watched!
