Corky Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 Why do they make out Emery was a complete flop at Arsenal? He finished 5th and reached the Europa final in his full season. 4

Tbf I half understand the McManaman one given he played Spanish football and on paper could give an insight. In reality he's a moron and you're right. Have one on the analysis panel, along with a neutral and then one for the other side or in these cases a player or journalist with insight into the club like they did for the BT Bundesliga coverage
The Horse's Mouth Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 Actually jealous how Villarreal are playing here, proper fight and togetherness 2

Last year I think. Wish we heard more from Hargreaves who at least adds more knowledge to Darren and McManamans bleating

Unabomber Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 Michael Owen as a pundit? What the actual ****? This is the midget that said Vardy wasn't a natural finisher still getting gigs. Joke
Vacamion Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 To be fair to him, MichaelOwen is as thick as month old rice pudding. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else ties his shoelaces for him. It's probably discriminatory to mock his affliction.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone else ties his shoelaces for him. It's probably discriminatory to mock his affliction. I genuinely can't get over how thick he is. I mean this in all seriousness, I'm not joking for the banter, I honestly think he's comfortably the least intelligent pundit I've ever seen on TV. Doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Never got the impression as a player he was THAT thick. Guys like Beckham and Rooney always got pegged as eejits in their career but Owen makes them look like Stephen Hawking and Brian Cox respectively. I know we give Macca some pelters and I definitely think he's awful when covering Liverpool but actually he's a fairly cultured guy who likes to travel, knows a bit about the world, clearly enjoys watching lots of different sport and speaks pretty well about players from clubs round Europe. You can tell he watches a lot of football for the actual love of it. I don't think he's a great pundit and he definitely shouldn't cover his former clubs, he's bias af. But he's not the idiot we all like to pretend he is. Not anywhere near Owen. Edited 27 April 2022 by Finnegan 4
The Horse's Mouth Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 The thing with Owen is he always striker me as someone who never really liked football but was just naturally gifted at it, which is odd how he's ended up in prominent pundit roles. Doesn't wind me up as much as anybody else though, but I think it's because I loved him as a player 1
UniFox21 Posted 27 April 2022 Posted 27 April 2022 That type of switching play from the keeper is what Kasper regularly tries to do

He speaks like someone who doesn't follow the game, doesn't really study it, doesn't give much of a fvck about it even. 1
