I was kind of annoyed about Spurs winning before, but now I'm quite glad they made him look like a dickhead. He's obviously fond of that 'if you can trap a ball you can play for your country' line, what was it three times he rolled out that bollocks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keane commentary is all about having a go and winding up Spurs because he has that famous quote I think it was from his book "sure lads its only Spurs" Has been reported he was a Spurs fan as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good line. But if he's truly basing his punditry today on extending that insult it's pretty tragic. Good comedians freshen up their material on the regular.

He's another failed manager who's realised it's a lot easier on the telly, and it pays better being a contrary, angry dickhead with outrageous opinions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 28, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2021 He's not far off right there though in fairness, there's a lot of dross in the Spurs side (along with three or four with real quality). It's great to see them arguing with a bit of passion about something rather than the usual matey garbage in fairness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of drivel that man comes out with regularly is embarrassing. I remember Watkins goal at Southampton a few weeks back, where Dion was staring at the line that showed the ball was played backwards and still stating it was a clear offside. He isn't the worst by default, but he should be nowhere near TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe he made that mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I don't think the ball was played backwards ... but he was behind the ball when it was played. He was ahead of the defender, but that was irrelevant. Don't remember the game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Newcastle, when the player tried to intercept and Watkins headed it in. I'd like to see Roy Keane and Jonathan Walters in the studio doing analysis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Roy Keane and Jonathan Walters in the studio doing analysis. That's it, Newcastle. Either way it was clearly not offside and Dion was staring at a graphic that showed EXACTLY why it was not offside, whilst simultaneously babbling on about it being offside. Terrible pundit.

I agree Spurs aren't a great side. The discussion started as to whether they'd be mid table without Kane and Son? Well, they're currently mid table with Kane and Son. As Keane often does though, he has to take it to absurdity, he's so ridiculous I'm surprised he doesn't snarl at the camera after every line. His repeated "If you can trap the ball..." nonsense is him hamming up his persona knowing it gets the views, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Keane continues to push his buttons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I know it's part of their 'brand identity' or whatever, but I think it's a bit silly for Football365 to keep writing these '16 Conclusions . . .' articles about snore-draws between eg Man Utd and Chelsea. You don't actually have to come up with 16 different takes about a shit game of football lads, it's just the rod that you made for your own backs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. All double barrelled names should be banned. Alex oxo-cubes etc can all do one. Pick a surname or bog off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
