The Football.....

[Smokin Joe]

This might upset a few,but i have already started.I love the build up on a Saturday of the football progs.Sky,BT all on Virgin for free.But when a female pundit all 5'2" of her comes on and starts spouting about the football and players off the prog goes.I like the blokey banter,which will go.These chaps have been pro's they know the dressing rooms inside and out,the tricks,pranks jokes the insider jokes.Sorry ladies not for me.

The ones I've seen are many times better than the Shearers and Lawrensons with their tired old "Nothing we haven't heard before" clichés. And as for Robbie Savage, my old mum (Who wouldn't even have been sure what shape the ball is) would have been more insightful than that ignorant, loudmouth pillock.

Ironically his mum is a pundit on his weekly 5Live Friday morning football show, and she consistently shows she knows more about football than he does.

I quite often read Eniola Aluko's column in the Guardian. Female punditry is just as much a mixed bag. I thought there were a few good female pundits in the world cup and a few bad ones. Hope Solo was a good pundit and writes well too. Mark Lawrenson is terrible and is only forgiven for being a Liverpool legend, otherwise... There seems to be a bit of an old boys network when it comes to punditry, that's the only reason I can think some of them get the job.

I like Savage, he plays the part of opinionated loudmouth very well. Much better to have a opinion than offer nothing of interest.

Charlie, his son, on Man U's books has finally been selected for Wales under 17. Obviously son of Robbie, Welsh and a Scottish mother but born in England and proudly wears an England shirt. Robbie should have a word!!

I didn't know that - will have a listen.

There's a very strong LFC/MUFC bias when it comes to punditry - definitely an old boys club though and a forgiving one at that.

Just look at spitting Carragher for instance - a foul creature who is back on the gravy train now the fuss has died down. Ditto miss a drug test Ferdinand.

Funny old world.

I watched a little bit,a very little bit of the Super Cup.Parts i saw were rubbish,one thing i did notice Liverpool footballers not all of then could not take a decent corner kick.Mind you they might have been tired,i mean the season is only a week old.Get some training in lads.

It probably didn't help that they were playing late at night in 30 degree heat on a terrible pitch.

Sorry Postie but are you serious? It was a very watchable match, the level did drop a bit as they entered the last 45 of the 120 due to the heat & humidity but the commentators & pundits and the two appropriate fan boards thought it was a good game.

Maybe if you had watched more of the match you might have a less jaundiced opinion of the match quality.

i blame the boots,they are wearing carpet slippers now.They need some cork studs with three nails in and a mile of white football laces.

Just back from another great night at Ibrox. They are starting to look like the real thing from middle to front but the defence still looks like it needs a bit of work. Helander did make the bench tonight but I can only assume that the master plan is to slot him in the middle as soon as he is fit. Really looking forward to seeing how this season develops for us.

Hey Postie! You forgot to mention the usual 'the balls were twice as heavy as they are today and when you headed them they left a mark of the lace up bit on your forehead'
