Must be a goal?! Nah, Huddersfield have a corner. Attention seeking cockwombles. I hope they all contract dysentery "AND HE PICKS UP THE BALL!!!! AND HE THINKS TO HIMSELF I'M GOING TO GO FOR A RUN, HE DRIVES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PITCH, GETS ABOUT 60 YARDS OUT BUT IS TACKLED!!!!!!!!!!!!! BALL IS RECYCLED THEN IT GOES OUT FOR A THROW IN!!!! REALLY EXCITING GAME THIS!!!!! BACK TO YOU GEOFF!!!!!." "Thanks Phil." "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" "Goal Phil?" "ANOTHER THROW IN GEOFF!!!!!" You're commentating on Burnley vs Watford. Just calm the **** down. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people actually pay money to listen to Dean Saunders, David Batty or Rob Lee etc. talk football anecdotes It's a hang-over from the olden days. Men used to have Working Men's Clubs where they could drink without interruption from their wives or children, tell sexist/racist jokes and cop a feel of the barmaid. The highlight at such places was when Bernard Manning or Roy Brown would come to town and tell some filthy jokes. Nowadays, even the most neanderthal man knows such things are gone forever so the next best thing is to try and recreate the atmosphere and environment and have a footballer tell them made up stories. They're generally full of self-important businessmen, either treating their customers or being treated by their suppliers, all peacocking about the place, trying to make out they're considerably richer than yow. I've had the misfortune of going to a couple of them, including one where Saunders told the Clough story (about 8 years before the talksport kerfuffle) and they are about the most repulsive things I've ever been to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true entertainer I'm convinced they only still employ him for the comedy factor. Does he still do his team of the week where he basically just picks a goalkeeper and 10 players who scored? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite in last few years was one weekend calling for James Morrison of WBA to be given an England call up. He had 30 Scotland caps at that point. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2018 I’m convinced that Garth’s Team of the week is deliberately weird every week. Nobody gives a **** what his team of the week is. The only way anybody is ever interested in it is when it’s batshit crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he loves football more than he does basketball. Played as a junior, but chose basketball as a career. Think he is in the football media over in the US. Huge Tottenham supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Darren Bent's punditry is about as lifeless as his hold up play. I have seen skirting boards with more personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The United/ Solskjaer wankfest that's going on right now exposes the sheer vacuity that lies at the heart of modern day punditry. They've just beat Cardiff and Huddersfield, two of the worst sides in the league yet Solskjaer is some sort of 'revelation'. I cannot wait for the shit to hit the fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same when we had that mental 4-4 game vs Chelsea. Barry had a penalty in the last minute to equalise. McInally was one of the guys in the studio reporting on the game while watching it on the telly, but he wasn't doing the Villa game. But in the build up to that penalty being taken you could hear him off camera "Come on Gareth... COME ON GARETH" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
