The past 2 years he was crippled with injuries and everyone knew he was finished and Arsenal were desperate to get shot. Then West ham paid millions for reason and put him on about 70k a week. They also signed Kieron Dyer. Truly they were the banter years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted February 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2018 Gary Neville's unrelenting criticism of Arsenal today was funny, albeit deserved. I think he was just pissed off that a title was handed to City without a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arsenal players were walking around the pitch because their manager let's them get away with it. There's no proper leadership there, it's a holiday camp.

turvontour Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Is Mark Lawrenson just anti-football? He sounds like somebody who was against it from the start but because its his job to commentate on it, he has to semi entertain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2018 Lawro is my least favourite commentator. I'll concede that he's occasionally ok as a pundit. But as a commentator he is utterly dreadful. He spends the whole game taking the piss out of the game and just being a dour, miserable word removed. He never gives any actual commentary. Just tries to be funny with his shitty little quips about **** all. It can genuinely be the difference between me watching and not watching a game these days on BBC. Certainly if we get to the world cup and I have to choose between BBC and ITV, I'll 100% choose ITV if Lawro is commentating on BBC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awful at the start but he haa grown into it though i havent seen MOTD since we went down Jamie Redknapp, Danny Murphy and Thierry Henry on the other hand offer nothing Murphy's voice is even worse than Shearer's. O.K pundit though. On Redknapp he amused me today. Slaughtered Chelsea's tactics and said the Arsenal invincibles or Man. United under Fergie would never approach a game like that. Think he's forgetting Man. United playing for a draw and losing 1-0 to City in April 2012..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Redknapp has also suggested Thierry Henry for the Arsenal job and his reasoning is Barcelona gave Pep the top job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I spoke to my mates, they wouldn’t care about either Shearer or Wilson, but they’d acknowledge that Wilson knows more about the wider game and would provide better analysis. Do people pick to watch MOTD because Shearer and Murphy are on it? I’m not convinced. I think they’d watch it anyway and would rather have more knowledgeable pundits if given the option. Agreed on Wright by the way. He sort of ticks the entertainment box too. I think it's more MOTD is the obvious gold star football programme on the TV so they need legends of the game to enhance it more (in the producers mind anyway). It's the same with Sky anyway, remember all the fuss they made when they signed Henry as pundit. MOTD2 on the Sunday lunchtime is a better watch in terms of analysis when I remember it's on as they do have journalists on (and Stephen Warnock).

VillaChris Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Another problem with getting journos on the main MOTD is let's not forget most of them are actually working on a Saturday afternoon at games. Even if people don't rate the pundits MOTD have they do come in early and watch all the 3pm games on a screen and make obsevations to the producers of key moments in games you then see later in the show.

Villa fan on 606, wanting to talk about Grealish possibly making the World Cup squad. Savage - “He’s got four assists and 1 goal in the championship” Caller - “But if you’ve seen him pl....” “Four assists and one goal” “I don’t think we have anyone else who can drop their shou....” “FOUR ASSISTS AND ONE GOAL!!!” Rinse and repeat about 6 times. If Savage doesn’t agree, absolutely fine. But repeating (and shouting) the same statistic as an argument half a dozen times is pathetic.
