Leicester_Loyal Posted 26 August 2020 Posted 26 August 2020 I hope they give the gig to Pearson, that would be fantastic television. Another good one might be Peter Crouch. I think they'll definitely have a woman in there though.

Sky probably feel sorry for him and don't want him to go back to drinking and gambling. Le Tissier is an opinionated nut job though, and his Twitter is embarrassing. He also loves himself a bit too much. Alex Scott will get the gig guaranteed. She's always on Sky games. If it was up to me I'd have that lass Emma Louise Jones who reports on the Leeds games and does radio stuff with Robbie Savage. Absolute cheb fest. SIGN HER UP Just like Nicholas, Thompson and Le Tissier, I'm sure she'll have her knockers but I like her philosophy of setting up with two big ones up top, having smooth passages of play and being tight at the back. As for being on top for 90 minutes.....(lucky Top!)
UniFox21 Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 Even when reading through this forum we've seen comments as such. Sad that reality of their names being linked mainly due to the ethnicity than their ability as a pundit 2
foxfanazer Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 Individually not keen on any of the Soccer Saturday pundits (Le Tissier is alright) but collectively I really enjoy watching them. Might be a good idea to freshen it up though I guess.
Fox1970 Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 It's time Sky pounced for balanced and stunning intellectual incisiveness of Robbie Savage. Maybe.

Popular Post Koke Posted 27 August 2020 Popular Post Posted 27 August 2020 Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson played in the 80s. Game has passed them by. They have good banter but their knowledge and tactical insight is goddamn appalling. Paul Merson can't even pronounce simple foreign names correctly. All these people on social media who are making disgusting derogatory comments about black pundits can get in the ****ing bin. What has Alex Scott or Micah Richards done to deserve all this abuse? There are truly awful white pundits who are on TV but Alex Scott is judged on a ridiculously high standard. There are good & bad white and black pundits. The Soccer Saturday lads aren't exactly the beacon of intellectualism. So of someone black/female gets on there, so what? This is what we are gonna miss 6

This is what we are gonna miss My only argument about having a female is womens football isn't at the standard mens football is. They are gonna be on a panel criticising male footballers. I suppose it's a bit like how these failed managers sit their and criticise current managers.
Staffs Fox Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 (edited) I personally think Alex Scott is one of the best newer pundits around. She’s often very insightful and very articulate, which is a big improvement on the old boys brigade which seems to have been a Sky since the dawn of time. Similarly I’ve enjoyed Micah Richards whenever he’s been a pundit. Its like when Alan Hansen stopped being on MOTD. Originally he was there to offer an Insight into being a footballer but when the game moves on and is barely relatable to the game he played its time to move on. The same has happened here. Nothing more Edited 27 August 2020 by Staffs Fox 1

Oh and don't judge people on the first few performances. Couldn't have put it better myself, you only just have to look at the managerial careers that the likes of Mourinho, Nagelsmann and Rodgers have had who can barely kicked a ball between them and compare them to the likes of Maradona, Henry and Keane and it quickly becomes clear being able to understand the game and its tactics has nothing to do with your ability to play the game. There's sadly still plenty of underlying sexism and racism in society and some people will come up with any excuse to try and justify it. 2

To be fair, the coverage of the Championship has been much better than that of the Premier League IMHO. Minto and David Prutton are brilliant anchors and I like Jobi McAnuff, Keith Andrews and Gary O'Neil as pundits too. I think they're way more insightful than the PL pundits. 2
ealingfox Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 Sounds like there may be a cost-cutting element to the changes at Sky as well.

Probably not that much, if they’re including youth players years at the club we still have Barnes, Choudhury, Thomas as well as players that have been at the club for close to a decade in Vardy, Morgan and Schmeichel. The turnover of our squad isn’t that high which I think is a small part of our relative success. Everton have churned through no end of players which makes it hard to build a good squad as a comparison 1
Aus Fox Posted 27 August 2020 Posted 27 August 2020 Only 2 weeks from the start of the new season and hearing lots of PL players have tested positive for COVID 19. Paul Pogba being the latest, hot to put the season start in doubt.
