Yeah this is basically what they were playing on. I mean, it's fair enough if he said "I don't agree with his tactics on this occasion" or whatever, but he was just putting the boot into him as a manager in general. And like Sven or not, he's a hell of a lot more successful/qualified than Gareth bloody Southgate. Go back to being in the pizza hut adverts you penalty missing ****.

Yeah, Southgate was a git this afternoon, Svens tactic's were decent in that match. he made that IDS comment about Sven, when he still could of been picked for England. So he put selling a few more books of his crummy auto-biography over playing for his country.

****e manager, ****e player, ****e anaylst, get rid.

When you're getting paid to commentate at a World Cup, is it really too much to ask that you do a little bit of research into the teams you're going to be commentating on?

If that's true, then it's hilarious.

Given he's an English football manager, you'd expect him to know about a player who has played for Man Utd AND Chelsea ffs.

ITV definitely worse - Red Clive and Jim Beglin the worst but the likes of "crazy" Marcel just compound the problem.

To be honest, I like McCarthy, think most of what he says isn't meant to be taken seriously - just need to get his sense of humour.

Rather listen to Andy Townsend than McCarthy tbh. Annoying **** in every aspect.

****, I'd rather listen to Garth Crooks interview Andy Townsend than McCarthy commentary.

I don't think he's joking. I think he just really is that stupid.

Personally, I don't mind any of the above analysts and commies....

I just can't stand Motson and Lawrenson, so anything that keeps them out of sight is a good thing in my eyes.

sledger · 16-06-2010, 02:28 PM

Motson is dreadful I agree. Lawrenson isn't exactly great either, but I don't have a huge problem with him.

Scaly to jump in with the deft analogy.

Where is Dicko, BTW?
