Thick as a submarine door.
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.
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.
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. Although some of tjem are insufferable
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.
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.
His brother is a piece of ****.
But I don't think Gary is that bad on commentary. There is definitely bias there but who cares?? Alan Smith is not exactly impartial :-)
All I look for is a tiny bit of insight. The ability to call it out when a player has done something deliberately, or when a ref has clearly dropped the ball on something.
I can't stand Carragher. Tosser.
i must admit, it does annoy me with test cricket. Most of the commentary teams and pundits are excellent but you have to have someone who has played that level, and faced balls at that pace. The rest of us simply aren't able to talk with authority about it.
And as you say, there is a lot of air to fill over five days.....
Not possible.
Dancing with the fans of that promoted team that beat us in the first game, BW's debut, with half our team out with covid.
This season, I had the misfortune to hear him for the NUFC 2-1 win.
We go one down and he says real title contenders would find a way to equalise but we won't cos we're not.
We equalise.
He's pissed off but says, yeah, but really real title contenders would go on and win it.
We do.
He says, and I quote: "Oh. Oh, oh, oh. ..... Oh."
There is no way this bint could be worse than him
Stephen Hawkins could give her his voice box and I could give her a 2g line of K and she would still have a better accent and make more sense than Gary ****ing Neville.
Please just drop it, P. My hatred of G Nev is irrational.
I've spent all my life as a pacifist hippy, literally turning the other cheek after winding people up and getting a serious kicking for it. Multiple times.
But if I knew where Nev's kids went to school, I'd invoke the Goddess Kali and strangle them with a silken thread.
I hate him more than Sperz, Chavs, City, Yanks, Ruskies, Chinks, Tories, Brexiters, Macron, BJP/Rss/Shiv Sena Hindutva scum all put together.
Give me the address of his kids' homes and a roll of silk thread and I'll show you I'm serious.
Were your parents hippies, cosmic hippies, junkie hippies or India-trail hippies who know we live in the age of Kali-Yug, btw?
{FTR, I love them all equally. All God Is One and all that. I just ****ing detest Neville.}
An irrational hatred makes no sense. I understand perfectly :-)
My parents just loved the music. They still went to work every day. Well, most days :-)
You could go and see Pink Floyd and still go to work the next morning.
