Most Dislikable Football Pundits

[Donald Trump]

The Brits love Roy and Roy loves coin. Probably makes Roy the #1 pundit/paid pundit.

I personally think Roy is about as informative as a block of cheese. However, if he has his Brit paymasters wrapped around his pinky, fair play to him.

Roy is not there to inform

He's there to entertain. Like Dunphy back in the day. He's damn good at it too imo.

Rio. For someone who was so good, he really hasn’t a clue and is wholly cringe.

I don't think he has any kind of tactical awareness, so wouldn't have much to give in informed analysis, if he needed to provide it.

I find it's the same old reused phrases about hunger, desire, personality, character etc. With a one liner thrown in to ensure the lols and clicks.

Listening to R Whelan you would swear that there will never be a player as good as he was.

Think he's one of those ex players bitter that even though he did well from the game, he missed out on the mega riches that modern players get. Never seems to get any joy from watching football.

That was your first mistake.

I think the better players shouldn't become pundits as it sort of came natural to them.
It's probably difficult for them to explain why they did what they did in certain situations. They didn't even think about it.

The likes of Nicky Butt or John O'Shea would probably be better pundits than any of the current crop as they had to learn their game and work at it continually.


Imnsvho!

Damien Delaney

I think Delaney is one of the better ones. Recent experience playing at a high level, good knowledge of the modern game and tactics, doesn't seem to go for sensationalist takes, and is very articulate. Would be surprised if we don't see him popping up on Sky in the future, he'll need to work on the sensationalism though!

Jimmy Hill and Venables were a decent duo back in the day.

Always remember Venables calling ole a lucky cahhhnt live on air after he scored the cl winner.

Great singer, too. What a guy!
