Probably best not! Andy Gray, on the other hand, well I'm happy to discuss how much of a shitty person he can be. I've never known anyone to deserve a sacking more, @golfaddick !bolloxbolder said:

Thierry Henry on a bit of Aguero "movement", and I think it's fantastic punditry.

I don't know whats wrong with you lot, it has to be Glenn Hoddle. Not only is he a superb co-commentator, with lots of incisive and adroit comments, he is also kindly giving up his free time to enlighten and entertain us mere punters. He could be out on the pitch playing better than each and every player (including the goalies and referee), or he could be managing the sides and bringing his magnificent tactical expertise to bear. But no, out of the goodness of his heart he is prepared to talk total bollocks whilst Clive Tydelsey tells us tedious facts about the left backs shinpads.5

Worst - Dowie by a country mile0

Watching the England games last week, as if the games themselves weren't dreary enough, up he pops with his inane drivel. And FFS the blokes name isn't Chamberlain, it's Oxlade-Chamberlain you moron.

I was watching the Wales Ireland match, and I couldn't understand a word the pundits were saying, none of it made any sort of sense.
But then they were talking in Welsh to be fair1 -

Back in the 1970s, former England manager Sir Alf Ramsey deigned to do a bit of TV punditry. Not a wise move.
Although he was born in Dagenham, Alf had social pretensions and affected a way of expressing 'I' as 'ay'. At this particular match, the floodlights failed and the pundits were reduced to small-talk in a desperate attempt to fill up time in the live broadcast. Sir Alf didn't do small-talk.
The studio anchor asked him: “When do you think the floodlights will be back on, Alf?”
And he replied: “Ay am not an electrician.”

I know i have already commented but another vote for Hoddle, he sends me to sleep probably worse then owen.0

Chris Sutton - a total miserablist.2

Glen Hoddle commentates in a way where you know that even he has absolutely no idea what he's about to come out with.
He starts a sentence, and almost immediately the purpose with which he started that sentence begins to wane, eventually dying about half way through - at which point he grinds to a bit of a halt - finally digging deep to trail off with whatever his brain stumbles upon. Occasionally this ends up with him chuckling to himself, a bit of an awkward silence and the other commentator drawing a line under it by going back to the "Henderson... passes to Chamberlain..."
Did the quickest YouTube search for 'Glenn Hoddle commentary' and the top result fits the bill -

Garry Birtles makes me want to kick the TV. When he covers the lower leagues for Sky everything he says is so generic that you can tell that he has no knowledge at all of the teams and players he's watching.
Plus he talks shit.2 -
I was watching Burton v Birmingham a few weeks ago and heard him come out with the line: "Teams wont like playing against Burton" and it really did sound like a generic SKY like that he throws out per game - Cant have been that bad for opponents as that was their first win that season, so having played three games prior (and lost), opponents must have loved playing them!!HandG said:Garry Birtles makes me want to kick the TV.

Anyone else finding Kevin Kilbane really annoying?0

Cant really see why Didier Drogba is there, I know English isnt his first language, but the way he talks I doubt if its his third or fourth either, he offers all the insight of a post box.3

He has also missed his teams last 6 games due to The World Cup and he is just a punditHalix said:Cant really see why Didier Drogba is there, I know English isnt his first language, but the way he talks its probably not his third or fourth either.

A bit, but not nearly as annoying as Mark Lawrenson.i_b_b_o_r_g said:Anyone else finding Kevin Kilbane really annoying?

Not really. Far more grating voices than his.i_b_b_o_r_g said:Anyone else finding Kevin Kilbane really annoying?

I cant stand Mark Lawrenson1

Bilic's summaries and insight were good at the last Euros but his diction is now really poor and hard to fathom.Patrice Evra seems to be thinking about Jacqui Oatley's legs. Roy Keane just sits there looking stunned and in his own little world. Lineker is far less annoying when he comments at half-time/just as a game ends.He looks totally bored though with Premier League football.Never thought I would like the boy Line-acre,as Mike Channon used to call him. Alan Shearer is Captain Sensible most of the time and shows his competitive side(although it took him an age to score his first goal against us!).
Wonder what they are being paid?

I get the impression Mark Lawrenson probably doesn’t like Mark Lawrenson either. Or just anyone for that matter.Johnnysummers5 said:I cant stand Mark Lawrenson
If they ever do a remake of One Foot In The Grave, he’ll be a shoe-in for the main role.

Worst. Crooks or Lawrenson
Best. Either Neville, Alex Scott0 -
He's not even a very good grumpy old man - Chris Sutton wins that prize!cafcsinger said:How can you not love Lawro! Grumpy old man saying it how it is, brilliant
Lawro provides zero insight into the game and the BBC pay him a cocking fortune for it. Stealing a living.0 -
Lawro was a good player - but my god it is such hard work listening to him moaning for 90 minutes!1
