Parafox Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Plenty of slagging off of Savage, Merson, Carragher et al. Are there any whose views you feel are genuine? For me I like Ian Wright on Sunday's 606, I thought Darren Fletcher was good and unbiased even though he's a Forest fan. I quite like Shearer on MOTD, generally he's honest and insightful. Oddly, I really though Stan Collymore spoke sense and was forthright and honest. A shame he's currently going through depression.
Blue ROI Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Martin O'Neill. Not for the obvious connection to Leicester but he's always managed to be decent and entertaining regardless of what game he's watching.

StanSP Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Stan Collymore . gotta disagree with you on that one. Like Thierry Henry & Gary Neville the most. And I don't know where he's disappeared to recently, and I don't really have a preference towards him. But any excuse to get this pic out
Tielemans63 Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Stan Collymore is a good shout. Danny Murphy is usually very good and I like Kevin Kilbane even though his voice is really annoying. John Hartson is pretty good too. Thierry Henry is a good shout.
Ashley Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Gary Nev. Best of the lot no one even comes close to him.
Corky Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 I normally like Chris Sutton but his comments yesterday were pathetic. Danny Murphy seems alright, Ian Wright and Kevin Kilbane I can cope with. Most of the Sky lot, not a fan of. On the radio, I mainly prefer journalists who cover European and world football such as Tim Vickery, Andy Brassell and Mark Langdon.
Soar Fox Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Worst for me has to be Chris Sutton, Michael Owen, Phil Neville.
Tielemans63 Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 4 minutes ago, Vacamion said: Pat Nevin. I should have thought of him - that's a great shout. Excellent pundit. Treats the audience as though they are intelligent and is clearly a very bright guy himself.
Footballwipe Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 James Richardson (More of a presenter but is excellent in the way he presents, not wrapped in getting an emotive story) James Horncastle Jonathan Northcroft (via Sunday Supplement) Rafael Hoenigstein Gary Neville (though the Ranieri situation was a bit annoying) James Scowcroft is also very good Martin Samuel (via Sunday Supplement) On comms I find Andy Hinchcliffe pretty good. Andy Townsend used to get slagged off loads on ITV but as world feed commentator he is very, very good. Good shouts for Brassell and Vickery. You find that the journalists who aren't wrapped in the "top six bubble" tend to be very good at what they do. Insightful, knowledgeable and don't try and go for a certain angle.

Tim Vickery is very astute and knows a lot about football at many levels. Also Gabrielle Marcotti. Knows his stuff and is impartial.
Aus Fox Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 I like Don Hutchinson, always well balanced and talks a lot of sense.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Danny Murphy, Shearer and Keown are my personal favourites. The latter most won't agree with I don't think.
foxinsocks Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Not keen on shearer - he undermined Bobby Robson after Robson had reshaped shearers game... I know this should impact on his punditry - but I believe a gentle man is measured by the pundit he holds in esteem,

Guessing you're also a fan of the football weekly podcast and world football phone in Richardson is great, nobody comes close to Tim Vickery though, the man is an encyclopedia of South American football knowledge.
Webbo Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Depends what you want from a pundit. Do you want someone who tells you what you want to hear or do you want someone who can teach you something you didn't know, challenge your assumptions? I certainly don't get upset when they say something I disagree with. It's only their opinion.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 I like people with opinions. Neville, Sutton, Shearer, Merson ect. Cant stand wet wipe nonces who don't take a view.
