shailen Posted 3 July 2011 Posted 3 July 2011 Andy gray was the best pundit ever, he talked sense and was never afraid to give strong views....hes alot better than ray wilkins:S
General Smuts Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 How the **** is Pleat only number 2? He literally cannot win anything ever can he?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Mark Lawrenson should be nowhere near that list, how Shearer hasn't made the cut is anyone's guess. *And I actually quite like Dixon and Southgate, they don't want to make me smash my TV screen up.
Mack Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Where is Jim Beglin?? Then there's Ian Wright, great striker in his day but shit pundit. Schmiecals old man was just as bad. Then there's Birtles... joke.
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Adrian Chiles isn't a pundit, he's a presenter Still a mardy bastard though ..............and a bloody annoying one too !!!!!!!!!

ajthefox Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Peter funking Beagrie and Don Goodman YES YES YES a million times YES. Cvnt. Right ugly fvcker as well. Looks like someone mated with a bulldog.
accessory Posted 5 July 2011 Author Posted 5 July 2011 Andy Gray ??????????? He's a bloody prat !!!!!!!!! He's a bit of a Marmite pundit - fans either love him or hate him. But he did well to keep the Sky gig going for so long - shame he had to end it with that prehistoric drivel about Sian Massey.
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Tyldesley and Pearce aren't pundits, but are very annoying!
sdb Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Dixon is good. So was Gavin Peacock. I'd say 90% are shit, but what do you expect if people are hired because they used to be good at a completely different job?!
accessory Posted 5 July 2011 Author Posted 5 July 2011 Indeed. All TV and radio stations seem to think that the only opinions that matter are those of ex-professionals.
One Arm Babba Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Lee Dixon is easily the best. As for the worst, unfortunately the list is endless. Generally I think anyone employed by ITV or ESPN are useless. I used to dislike Redknapp.... and still do, but he is getting better. My main gripe is that he never sticks his neck out, always sitting on the fence, The worst has to go to Dean Windass. (Only because John Motson has retired) Deano is absolutely useless, the only reason he is on soccer saturday is for comedy value. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqclkIbYgSo
Ozwin Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Glad Mark Bright is there. Utter utter useless pundit. Even worse when he's commentating on matches.

Guest ttfn Posted 5 July 2011 Posted 5 July 2011 Dixon's the best mainstream pundit there is. Tim Vickery is, and always has been, head and shoulders above anything else out there. It boggles my mind that the BBC don't get him in for World Cups. Andy Townsend is the devil incarnate.

It boggles my mind that the BBC don't get him in for World Cups. Andy Townsend is the devil incarnate. I wouldn't necessarily call them pundits, but I love the Guardian's football team. People like Barney Ronay, Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson, John Ashdown, Jacob Steinberg (I could go on...)
One Arm Babba Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Windass is pathetic at commentary but he's a great guy. Serious??? I'd say he's never discovered that he can also breath through his nose. Most of them on soccer saturday are tits though..... He fits right in. What with Mersons "Beans on Toast" and Jeffs "I Feel Good"
Guest ttfn Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I wouldn't necessarily call them pundits, but I love the Guardian's football team. People like Barney Ronay, Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson, John Ashdown, Jacob Steinberg (I could go on...) Glendenning has his moments. On the podcast he is almost always outstanding, but his desperate negativity about England really winds me up (as it should). After we got promoted to the Championship in 2009, I posted asking in Barry could name 5 Leicester players. Between the entire panel they named Fryatt, Hobbs and... Kieran Gibbs, who we all remember having such a successful season. Anyway, I guess that's not their job. I find Ronay to be a bit of a dullard, Ashdown quite funny (he writes well too), Steinberg has his moments (although the article he came out with about Ronaldo's hat-trick against Man United the other day was stinking). Jonathan Wilson I find better in book form than in articles. His latest offering (it's linked on the Grauniad website) about a fantasy tournament between the world's greatest club teams is a complete waste of his (and my) time. I quite like Rob Smyth's writing too.

Football Weekly is miles ahead of anything of it's kind. Missing it.
