Danny Murphy doing a great job as a pundit ?
When asked if Rutter is worth the fee Brighton have shelled out to add him to their forward line, Murphy said: "No. That's a hell of a lot of money for someone that was on the Leeds bench a lot. "
Rutter played 4210 mins last season. Started 44 of 45 league games, along with starting all three of our play off games.
Stealing a living some pundits ?.

Danny Murphy obviously not up to speed with Leeds Utd, he’d be correct when we were in the Premiership but not with last season.
On Rutter, his got a tough job to take Minteh’s position, took Rutter a whole season to adapt at Leeds, wonder if that’ll be the same at Brighton?
He’s a player with great potential and did great for us last season, a lot of assists but not enough goals and that was in the Championship. Can he make the step up and add goals to his talents is the question?

Just to elaborate on pundits/ commentators. Who are your faves and ones you dislike?
Think they tend to range between boring, annoying or useless atm. Murphy, Dixon, Souness, Redknapp, Savage, Morrison, Jenas (formerly) and then you have Michael Owen, who's in a league unto himself.
I really like Ally McCoist and always enjoy when he's doing a game.

Deffo a tough task, OP. Brighton look very good so far this season. If he's good enough, he'll get the game time. Up to Georgi now to show what he can do and try make the manager pick him.

I really like mccosit and controversially I love Gary nevell but hate rot Keane and rot wasn’t a typo
Regarding Summerville and rutter both have hard job but they are talented and was right to make the move sadly.

I really quite like Troy Deeney - Brummie sense of humour but does seem to know what he's talking about. Rob Green is often on the radio and he also makes some very sensible comments and observations.
One thing which annoyed me the other week was watching the women's international - all female panel both at the ground and in the studio. Can't have that at a men's international, has to be a token female somewhere in mix.
If it were the other way round there would have been an outcry of sexism!

I've heard Troy Deeney and he does seem to know his stuff, Cleggy. It's just the dull Brummie accent I can't deal with ?.

Favourite pundit is to back the courage of your convictions.

I enjoy listening to Steven Warnock and Gary Neville [though despised him as a player]. Really don't like Keane or Carra. Micah talks tosh, but doesn't take himself to seriously and on the whole is a good watch / laugh, especially in those MOTD top 10's.
By chance, I sat next Gary Neville at a James concert in the spring; he was a good sport, interesting to chat to and had the patience of a saint tolerating the never ending selfie requests; there really is something rather unsavoury with middle-aged men wanting selfies with other. middle aged men!
I wouldn't let Gary have one with me!

I dislike all pundits, they would do better finding a different job after their football careers instead of trying to feed their already overgrown ego’s.
There’s far too many of them also, spouting their boring ill resourced opinions to the public.
They make me ?
Instead of only embellishing their already over embellished ego’s, they could try to help more in the grass roots of football maybe!
I know some do but they are just a handful compared to the vast majority.

I'm with you on those names, Ani. Although I do like Keane shooting everything down. Gives me a chuckle as he's so blunt.
Haha, fair dos, OP. Plenty of bad ones about, that's for sure ?.
03 Sep 2024 19:41:18
He’s not a pundit as such but Simon Jordan is a great listen.
Pundit wise Souness and Danny Murphy the best.
Shearer Carragher and Alex Scott get on my tits.

Great question about pundits and all of the above are great, but there’s one stand out 100% dick head who is a arrogant, uneducated and a constant show off and that is the man himself Daniel Sturridge, watch Roy Keane’s facial expressions when he works with him. He sang a song pitch side once, he talks shite and dresses like a knobhead, he makes me cringe! Anyone agree? Only my opinion though guys ??.
04 Sep 2024 00:13:31
I’m with you there Woody!
My biggest worry is that Kyle Walker is getting into punditry and this is his path after his playing days are up. Now there’s a guy with about a 100 word vocabulary who awful to listen to.

Garth Crooks was favourite past commentator. Andy Gray too, as he revolutionised the role. The current crop except maybe Souness and Keane, who are straight talking, are garbage imo, and I can’t stand listening to any of em. They all have biases, but unlike Keane, pretend not to. (LUTV commentators aside of course)
