SuperTed Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just watched MOTD and sought out this thread to mention Murphy and glad to see a few have already picked up on it. “What’s the point in having a head coach anymore?” Spoken like a true ex-footballer who has left the game to go on and have an illustrious career at checks notes TalkSport Bellwhiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just my personal opinion", that's what people trot out when they know they don't have a leg to stand on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you that the women's game is absolutely miles away from top tier men's football, I reckon a League 1 or 2 side could give the top women's teams a good hiding, but it mostly comes down to the raw physical attributes. Men are bigger, stronger, and faster, so women just can't perform at the same level. It doesn't mean that they can't understand the game or offer insight into a match though, so I think it's just a bit much to write off all women as commentators because their game isn't as good. A league 2 side under 16's could give England women a good hiding. No shade on them it's just a different world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) He’s always been the same with us, I reckon we pulled the plug on signing him at some point in his career or something like that, bitter tw@. Even Jenas and Linekar were like ‘okay mate, guess everyone’s entitled to their opinion……..’ Edited August 22, 2021 by bannedfromHandV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just watched MOTD and Murphy showed himself up as a prize plum and miserable git. Fair play to Jenas and Linekar though who both gave him short shrift. When Jenas speaks more sense, you must be a woeful pundit! The man is stuck in the 90s/00s when he was barely relevant. The bbc can do much better than him… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Belittles it because he doesn't understand it He wouldn't be able to analyse Aston Villas set pieces before the coach and he can't analyse them with the coach So instead he declares him as pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube has the highlights of every game in the world. Agreed. The concept of waiting until the middle of the night to watch whittled down highlights, curated in such a way most teams barely get a look in unless they're playing the "big 6", interspersed with the ill-considered opinions of morons belongs in the old days. Their "analysis" offers absolutely nothing and takes up far too much of the runtime. I'll watch the highlights I want, in the order I want, at the time I want, and form my own opinions. "Brilliant goal there?" "Yeah, great goal" "Should the keeper have done better there?" "ooh, maybe Gary" That's been about as far as most of the analysis goes when I watched it. Rivetting stuff. Over £1.3m a year to Lineker alone for this shit. Shearer gets £400k to sit there and nod along. Edited August 22, 2021 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Only just turned ‘super Sunday’ on but seems like Sol Campbell has a bee in his bonnet about something, did I miss it or may it have been off camera? I mean, the guy is a bit of a tosspot at the best of times but he really doesn’t seem to want to be stood there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City could play their 4th choice options in every position and have a better side than Norwich, they literally couldn't have picked a side that didn't 'mean business'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the blokes a muppet of the highest order. Jenas comes across as balanced post game but is a terrible commentator and GL is likeable enough I guess. That's the best I can give them, it needs a complete overhaul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
