Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I like Kevin Kilbane, he is no footballing genius but makes a decent pundit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ian Wright is an absolute idiot. Last night he said Salah gives him "Messi vibes". Not only is it something a 12 year old would say but when pressed on the comment he could only repeat it, offering no insight, no analysis, just that ridiculous statement. I don't think you will find as much of an intellectually vacuous punditry scene as the one in the UK. High time the likes of BBC, Sky and BT stop employing pundits simply because there used to play professional football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Danny Murphy is the most arrogant and condescending prat I've ever listened to. I think he genuinely believes that if you aren't/weren't a professional footballer, you don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2017 I used to rate Murphy as a pundit but he’s quickly become one of more insufferable pundits on the beeb. Agree with @Kuwabatake Sanjuro on Kilbane. I don’t think he’s particularly insightful but at least he comes across as being a decent bloke who enjoys his job.

He is really good on Irish radio and tells good stories. A guy i have a lot of time for as while a limited player he made a good career from the game Plus from meeting him he is a top guy Edited December 31, 2017 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 More media shite - the Guardian's 'transfer window interactive' covers 'every deal in Europe's top five leagues', so UK readers can learn that Rober Ibanez has gone from Getafe to Osasuna on loan, but can't learn about a transfer between, say, Villa and Sheffield Wednesday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 i dont mind that personally, as someone who tries to edit the FM database its usually the other way round, really hard to find the european transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
