sharkyvilla Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It's weird because when Murphy first retired and starting doing punditry I thought he was alright. Now he's just Lawro's heir as miserable ignorant tosspot and makes me want to put my foot through the TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I heard him commentate a game and ever since then it’s like my eyes have been opened to how dreary he is. At least Chris Sutton’s miserable nature has a slightly surly childish comedic element to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I dislike Sutton as well, don’t get me wrong. I remember a disagreement he had with Savage and I was actually on Robbie’s side. But Sutton’s not really taken seriously him being miserable is seen as his amusing trait, he’s kind of a joke pundit that never gets the big live match or MOTD. Murphy is miserable as well, but he seems to be held in a higher regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Think I have seen 4 or 5 "experts" giving the opinion on Higuain. Each one was asked what was his strengths or what will he bring to Chelsea. Not one actually stated what his strengths are except he has scored goals for Sarri before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2019 I forgot that Man Utd fans brought the game back to the 80’s with that pitch invasion in 1998. Disgusting scenes. And the arsenal defending is just appalling for that giggs goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Quote MASSIVE OPINION: TREVOR FRANCIS RECKONS WORLD CUP WINNER PAUL POGBA WILL NEVER WIN ANYTHING Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates in the FA Cup on Friday night and Paul Pogba, without being imperious, played fairly well. The Frenchman carried the ball well, picked some nice passes, maintained possession under pressure, fended off opponents, won important freekicks, wasted a bit of time hither and thither, shut down space in defence and generally did all the things that he’s paid so handsomely to do. Anybody without an ill-conceived quasi-vendetta against him would have been at least satisfied with a robust if unspectacular performance, but not Trevor Francis, oh no. After watching Pogba stride about the midfield from the confines of the BeIN Sport studio, Francis was unable to deviate from drab Sounessian miserablism. "Pogba will never give you the opportunity of winning trophies or championships." Speaking after the final whistle, Francis summoned the following bibble: Pogba, for me, will never ever give you the opportunity of winning trophies or championships because I think he’s a luxury player. He’s not a Mourinho player. Pogba has won four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italias, the Europa League and the World Cup, among other things. In fact, he’s already won more overall trophies than Francis did as a player and a manager combined. Still spends too much time dying his hair and dabbing though, doesn’t he? http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/man_utd/281282/massive-opinion-trevor-francis-reckons-world-cup-winner-paul-pogba-will-never-win-anything.html Seriously?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
