They used to play a high chirping sound anytime a graphic changed on setanta back in the day, drove me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted January 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2018 I haven't had to watch a match that Lawro was commentating on for a long time (thankfully.)

HanoiVillan Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The resuscitation of Lescott is one of the worst events in English punditry. He's thick, provides no worthwhile insight, and demonstrated a complete lack of professionalism at his last two clubs. To be rewarded with punditing gigs is just gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Viasat, the channel who holds the PL and Champions League rights in Sweden has just hired Freddy Ljungberg as a new expert He has the personality of a overcooked asparagus and a tone of voice that is painful to hear. Hopefully he's evolved in the last few years. They already have ex Man U trainee Bojan Djordjic (who once famously scored a goal in a friendly against Celtic) in the studio and he's god awful. But a bit better than he used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ray has been quiet for a while Quote Ray Wilkins predicts where Sevilla would finish in the Premier League Manchester City and Liverpool are already awaiting the draw for the quarter-final of the competition having won their away legs 4-0 and 5-0 respectively. Meanwhile, Spurs earned a brilliant 2-2 away to Juventus, while Chelsea held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. Your move, United. They take on a Sevilla side that drew twice to Liverpool in the group stages - coming from behind to draw 2-2 and 3-3 - and currently sit fifth in La Liga. And having won the Europa League in three consecutive seasons before Jose Mourinho’s side triumphed last season, they have a rather incredible record in European competitions. But how would they fare in the Premier League? Would they challenge for the league title? Would they challenge for a top-four spot? Or would they be pretty rubbish? Well, that question was put to Sky Sports pundit Ray Wilkins on Wednesday afternoon - and it’s fair to say he doesn’t particularly rate them. WILKINS PREDICT WHERE SEVILLA WOULD FINISH The former Chelsea and Man United player was speaking on talkSPORT and suggested that Sevilla would be relegation fodder. “I think it’s tricky but I don’t think it’s anything that should really stand in the way is it?” Wilkins said about United’s tie against Sevilla. “You know, where would Sevilla be in the Premier League? Bottom six, probably.” Really, Ray? How can they win the Europa League three years in-a-row and yet only be good enough for a bottom-six finish in the Premier League? http://www.givemesport.com/1261584-ray-wilkins-predicts-where-sevilla-would-finish-in-the-premier-league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply have to show up, sit back, reel out platitudes and personal biases and get paid handsomely for it. I've long been a believer that journalists should be pundits, someone like Tim Vickery knows infinitely more than Ray Wilkins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
