First pundit to get the sack?

[sandwichsaint]

Carragher?

 

My head's spinning!

[Saint_clark]

"You'd probably be the burglar".

Gained so much respect for Gary Neville since he retired.

[TheSpankBoy]

Merson......sure he is back on the sauce.......

[SNSUN]

It'll be one of the scousers, Carragher or Danny Murphy on MOTD. The Scouse accent should be kept in Liverpool, and as Carraghers is thicker, so should he.

[angelman]

Carra - annoying squeak

[swannymere]

I thought he was alright, at least he was well informed and fairly current unlike the usual ex-pro's they wheel out who've been out of the game for years. The most annoying pundit is Peter Reid, comes across as smug, ill-informed and out of touch.

[TheSpankBoy]

Its true that only dolphins can understand him 100. The ability to fully articulate yourself is kind of a prerequisite for a pundit.

[Matty's Caddy]

I was very happy with just Neville. He's excellent. But the scouser has to go, I can't be listening to that

[lloydie]

I thought that there were moments where he was obviously having his hand held by Neville and Chamberlain in the analysis, as he seemed to struggle with some key aspects of the show (talking and using the massive iPad).

[John Boy Saint]

Gary Neville just emphasised how bad Carragher was, it was almost like someone upstairs in Sky hates all things Liverpool and thought this would be a wheeze to have a Scouser shown up by a Manc. I turned round to my Missus after about 2 minutes of him and said that I felt worn out just listening to him.

 

The other one who might not last is Paul Robinson, he was on Soccer Saturday I think a couple of weeks back talk about the cure for insomnia: someone should have wired his chair into the mains to give him a jolt. At least with Merson you get the Clown factor (and having played for the skates, just fuels our view of our friends down the M27) and Dowie when he is at the match reporting always has a face on him like he has just seen Paul Robinson get the the electric shock off his chair.

[saintbob40]

Carragher -his voice is shocking and can only be heard by my dog at times. I was watching Gary Neville's face last night and he looked like he was being slapped every time Carragher spoke. And why did they need two people to do the same job? Is Carragher an unpaid intern?

 

Mind you better that than the bland, smug bastards at Match of the Day. Shearer would send a glass eye to sleep!

 

Neville is by far the best thing on telly and ( controversial no doubt but....) I have a soft spot for Stan Collymore on the radio.

[dellboypete]

Ha ha make me laugh!!

 

My gorgeous wife and I were saying last night that Sky should have subtitles when Carragher is talking - I caught about every third or fourth word (if lucky).

 

It reminded me of Rab C Nesbit (apart from him being a scotty), which luckily did have the option of subtitles!!

[warsash saint]

Pls get shot of Shearer ... dull as dishwater!

[stevegrant]

Murphy's alright, thought he was a massive improvement on Lawrenson on MOTD, not that that's necessarily saying much, admittedly.

I resent that.

they are not going to dump carra after a couple of shows.

 

it was funny when neville suggested that carra was a burglur

I hope youre wrong, it was unbearable, I had to leave the room when he started squealing... didnt listen to the half time analysis and changed over straight after the game to avoid JC.

[JoeShmoe]

I like Carragher and respected him as a player, as i did GaryNev, but its hard listening when he's off on one, think Sky eed to work with him to slow down a little, sounded like a high pitched scouse machine gun squeal

[Smirking_Saint]

Carra seems to know what he is talking about agreed but when he talks for any period of time it is indeed difficult to listen to

[Barry Sanchez]

Bunch of soft Southern rent boys.

[Saint Mikey]

To be fair, it took Neville a few weeks to find his feet and whilst Carragher has an annoying accent - his insight should make up for it. Once he gets used to it. I liked the fact that he swore in relation to Cisse 'all that cr@p with the shirt'. Whilst hardly a massive clanger - I'm sure that's not a well used word across the Sky Sports platforms!

[Barry Sanchez]

I tend to see beyond an accent and see what the man is saying, I dont always agree with Carragher but he does know his football.

Which is what I said, but its hard to see beyond the accent when you cant understand what he is saying

I suggest you listen.

[toofarnorth]

Merson......sure he is back on the sauce.......

 

I was on a flight back from munich earlier in the year and Merson was putting them back. About five or six beers and a few shorts in a two hour flight.

[Barry Sanchez]

Merson is funny as he surely is as thick as **** but is an ok guy, the "he's hit the beans on toast" sums him up as a pundit.

Thompson is another one who does my head in, Liverpool this and that and fails to see they have been **** (for their standards) for nearly 10 years.

Le Tissier and Neville are the best on there for sure.

[Smirking_Saint]

I suggest you listen.

 

I seriously tried bazza as like you said he does talk a lot of sense and definately knows his stuff. When he is talking in single sentances etc its fine but when he gets excited and talks for longer it starts to get lost in some half incomprehensible squeak.

[swannymere]

Claiming you can't understand what he's saying is a little childish, he's got very good reviews from the press, i suggest you form your own opinions rather than trawling twitter for some thing to copy.

[Horley CTFC Saint]

Poyet

[lloydie]

As mentioned previously, Paul Robinson in hindsight is worse than Carragher.

Looked like he was half asleep when on soccer saturday, there was even a penalty awarded in the game he was watching and he kept his commentary in his monotone pitch! Whilst you just know Merson or any of the others would have gone bonkers for it, which is much better viewing/listening!

You'll get used to it.

 

Six weeks and you'll be fluent.

Carragher is dreadful, can't see him lasting.

[bridge too far]

I seriously don't have a problem with Carragher! It must be the scouse in my genes

[Whitey Grandad]

I can't understand a word he says, so I don't even bother.

[Bearsy]

Tuned into MOTD2 last night and saw they had Alan Shearer and Peter Schmeichel in the studio.

 

[chocco boxo]

Schmeichel was better in Corrie.
