bungle Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 In what way are Jeff Stelling and Adrien Chiles "pundits"? They are merely presenters. If this list is allowed to include presenters then it should be made clear in the thread title. If it is not then I suggest you remove Stelling from your list. Until either of the above options occur, I will not contribute positively to this thread. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzmeister Posted 28 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Stelling is actually a pundit for alot of the Monday Night football games on Sky. Therefore inclusion stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scudamore Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Mark Bright and his strained voice pointing out of the obvious can f::ck right off... "He's passed it up the line there..." has he Mark? Well thanks for that insight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Chris Kamara has surely got to be up there. The banter between him and Jeff is just comic genius. Gotta love Le Tiss for his commentary on the Liverpool vs. Havant and Barnsley games last season alone. I've always found Phil Thompson to be an irritating moaning budgie. Motty is just clueless and in love with Wayne Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzmeister Posted 28 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 28 November, 2008 No he isn't. He is the presenter of that programme as well. A pundit is classed as 'A source of opinion; a critic: i.e. a political pundit.' or 'an expert on a subject who often speaks or writes about it for a non-specialist audience'. Therefore, regardless of the fact that he presents the show, i think Jeff fufills both these descriptions. His inclusion still stands, looking forward to the counter.

All Bungle likes to do is **** and moan and start needless and uncalled for arguements, so you most certainly will get a reply, and it should be rather comical.

He does not fit that description at all. He presents the shows and asks questions of the pundits. However, I am willing to admit defeat on the basis I have rememberedhe has a newspaper column, in which he writes as a pundit. However, I am not sure that your original post was intended to refer to the print media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Love Lawro. Funniest man on the planet. Can't stand Kamara after his bias towards whoever we play on Sky. Hearing him say "Big Stevie Howard" always makes my blood boil. Collymore last night was sh*t too. He would read out crappy little facts he had written on a sheet in front of him to make him sound like a statto. I don't mind Jim Beglin and I think Danny Murphy has got a career in sofa punditry.

team-saint Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 hate darth Crooks - knows **** all about football and yet thinks he knows everything Mark (not very)Bright - just whinges and whinges about how the players have done something wrong and never actually says anything at all analytical just stating the obvious i think Lee Dixon is good i normally agree with him on MOTD2 Jeff Stelling and Adrian Chiles are quality presenters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Like: Gab Marcotti - Brilliant, should be on TV a lot more. Martin O'Neil - Just a shame he's a manager and could only do the EURO's. Alan Hansen - can be ok but he just seems to come across as lazy on TV, doesn't seem to want to explain things properly like he's lost some of his passion for the game. Hate: Jaime Redknapp - Should **** off with his skinny ties and skin tight trousers, he never says anything that isn't obvious to everyone watching. Alan Shearer - Very boring. Jim "Beglin - He's the worst by far, some of his work in the Liverpool CL games is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Jamie Redknapp is a tosser who makes my blood itch. He doesn't shut up ever. He is so boring, and he always has to have the last word, and he is always right. Rodney Marsh is just a c::nt. Lawrenson wears too much eyeliner.

Hatch Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 he was brilliant on talksport...sure knows his stuff.. what programme is he on? heard him on 606 on saturday.

Scudamore Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 I like David Pleat. There, I said it. Well while we're confessing... I like Terry Venables as a pundit... This in spite of his constant overlooking of MLT for England... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stain Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 I like David Pleat. There, I said it. Me too. He might get all the names wrong, but his insights are genuinely quite erm... insightful. I also like Garth Crooks. Not because he's a good pundit (he's terrible) but just for the way he makes everyone else in the studio so uncomfortable. It's something about the way he bellows out the most banal comments as if they are statements of defiance, and then looks Ray Stubbs in the eye as if to say "... and you'd better not cross me!". Always followed by 2 or 3 seconds of nervous shuffling on the part of his co-pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 Like Gabriele Marcotti Guillem Balague Stan Collymore Chris Kamara Dislike Jamie Redknapp Alan Shearer Paul Merson Charlie Nicholas Phil Thompson And probably a load more that I can't think of right now.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 Matt Le Tissier is by far one of the worst pundits/co-presenters on Sky Sports. He seems to think every first sentence he replies to Stelling with has to have the line, "Certainly is" or "Certainly do" in it. Other than his love for Saints and association, plus his loathing of Pompey, he is very under average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 he was brilliant on talksport...sure knows his stuff.. what programme is he on? Does a fair bit for 5live as well.

Stanley Saint Posted 1 December, 2008 Share Posted 1 December, 2008 Jimmy Armfield on the radio. Don't really know whether I agree with his opinions, I just like the soothing effect of his voice. He hasn't been on so much since he was ill, but it's like coming home to a big pot of stew when he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
