S-Clarke Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 TBF, whenever he predicted we may win a game, we actually lost. Who cares what he thinks? He's pretty much wrong about most anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan abnormal Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 fair prediction as we lost twice to them last season, I think it will be a 1-1 draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 Because we'll be fighting relegation all season? You of all people should know this? Am I the only one who thinks we'll win the League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggface Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 I've said it before and I'll say it again just of old times sake. As a pundit, the guys a c***. Usain Bolt knows more about punditry ; ) Waste of licence fee payers money in the BBC old boys Jimmy Saville club. Infact the whole of the BBC.

Let's ignore the dozens of times he's been wrong, eh. You can pretend like people are being over sensitive all you like. The fact is he predicted a Saints loss for around 5 months straight last season, and the fact is that when Lineker pulled him up on it he tried to say it was "all lies". The guy clearly doesn't like us for one reason or another, but it doesn't bother me personally. Edited 28 September, 2013 by Saint_clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's never forget this whole thing is not about accuracy. it never has been, it never will be. Divs on here just want the media to predict we'll win every single game.

The9 Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 This comment/blog might be worth keeping an eye on... entitled to his opinion of course, but really? Bottom?! 11:25 AM on 12/7/2013 1 - Arsenal, 2 - Man City, 3 - Chelsea, 4 - Man United. 18 - Norwich, 19 - Crystal Palace, 20 - Southampton. FA Cup - Arsenal. Capital One Cup - Chelsea. Championship - Leeds. League 1 - Sheffield United. League 2 - Portsmouth. Champions League - Man City. Keep up to date with my predictions when I make my official Premier League table prediction on my blog, oneofthem1s.wordpress.com/, within the next few weeks. His predictions for Sheffield United (23 positions below) and Portsmouth (only 16 places off his predictions) suggest he's not very good at this. I have a suspicion that we're better than Palace too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Quality article http://www.theguardian.com/sport/football-cliches/2013/sep/27/how-to-be-a-co-commentator?CMP=twt_gu Good knockabout stuff. But let's remember before we laugh too loudly at the folly of football punditry, that at its heart football is indeed a simple game and not a problem that rivals Fermat's Last Theorem. It seems to me the game is so simple that there really is only so much that can be said about it. Offside decisions, goalkeeping mistakes, referee's inconsistency ... you try making a career commentating about this stuff for years/decades on end without resorting to cliche or repeating yourself. As for getting predictions wrong, well I'd say the beauty of our game is its unpredictability. Indeed, hands up please anybody on here daft enough to claim there can call a weekends worth of football scorelines right more often than not.

whelk Posted 29 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Totally agree only so much insight can be given. I think a lot to do with tone and passion. If you switched the content between Alan Shearer and Gary Neville and no doubt people would still slag off Shearer.
