The crux of the issue is that's she's a rubbish pundit. Consistently demonstrated that when she had her chance and also just comes across as a deeply unpleasant person. To say she doesn't help herself is an enormous understatement.Originally posted by 7sisters View PostSomeone needs to explain to the daft bint that you don?t just get a job on TV just because you?re black.

And the argument that men shouldn't be pundits on the women's game would be stronger if they didn't keep shoehorning female pundits into the men's game.Originally posted by PSRB View PostThe crux of the issue is that's she's a rubbish pundit.

I'm sure we'd all be happy to settle for that compromise, but you cant have it both ways.

Face like a slapped @rse tbh. Look at the entitled body language on her. Reminds me of Laura James in that respect.

I think people need to make that distinction between hosting and punditry too. Thon feller on MOTD 2 has probably never kicked a ball but does a fair job anchoring and asking questions. Likewise, Kelly Cates and Gabby Yorath.Originally posted by Peter View PostAnd the argument that men shouldn't be pundits on the women's game would be stronger if they didn't keep shoehorning female pundits into the men's game.

Only female commentators and pundits allowed for women's football and only male commentators and pundits allowed for men's football.
Everybody wins

Well, as Laura Woods points out, if you want to grow the women's game then you need boys and men to get interested and that's helped by having respected male players as pundits. Also, IWWW has championed women's football for years, what Aluko though she would gain by going after him, God only knows.Originally posted by Peter View PostAnd the argument that men shouldn't be pundits on the women's game would be stronger if they didn't keep shoehorning female pundits into the men's game.

Helps that both their Dad's were (very good) professional players. Kate Abdo, Laura Woods and the lady that hosts a lot of women's football and the odd championship match are all very good. Izzie Christiansen and her moon face can do one and Sue Smith with her dreadful hair and pen waving descriptions can also bugger off.Originally posted by 7sisters View PostI think people need to make that distinction between hosting and punditry too.

Kind of what I was getting at. A solution that is so simple it must be wrong (for some reason....)Originally posted by WES View PostI have a solution.

Agreed. Couldn't care less who 'presents' the programme. But if I am going to have to listen to 'expert' opinion I'd rather it was from people who know the game.

Whatever happened to Jimmy Hill. Might have been a bit of a dickhead but he knew his football.

By Jove, Watson, I think I've cracked it.Originally posted by Peter View PostKind of what I was getting at. A solution that is so simple it must be wrong (for some reason....)
I had to google this cos I had no idea what this thread was about. But it seems the bint wanted Wrighty's job cos she is a black bint and therefore deserves a big job. But everyone else says Wrighty, for all his faults, is just a much better presenter.
So, my solution is:
1. Bring Wrighty back to MotD
2. Let this bint I've never heard of replace Gary Neville because it is physically impossible she could be any worse.
She gets to commentate live on the biggest games.
Wrighty's back and everyone loves him.
Gary Neville gets shot and burried in an unmarked grave.
Everyone's a winner.
