MOTD

[Percy McCarthy]

I am always surprised he doesn’t get the main pundit roles

He doesn't guffaw enough.

It disproves the theory Micah is only there to "fill a quota". There are clearly better black pundits out there than him,

Yes, Liam Rosenior for one, but he’s doing a decent job in management.

[Hookeysmith]

Anybody is better than the twat that is Micah Richards

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Another shout out for Nedum Onuoha, very insightful pundit. Jobi McAnuff is decent as well

[Le Lapin]

Michael Richards just grinds my gears só much. He's probably a sound guy  but I just get past the fact the was such a waster for Villa when he was hanging with that other waster Gabby.

Yeah, great shout. I really like McAnuff.

He used to be a must have purchase on Championship Manager, lol...

There's clearly a tendency to select pundits who have played for successful teams which has a negative impact on the quality of mainstream punditry.

On Richards, I guess people like enthusiasm. Keown and Murphy are often criticised for coming across as morose, but not smiling is fine by me.

I'm surprised by this.

I can forget his involvement with us, but on telly he's a fucking nightmare, he's just a clown from the Savage mould, all exaggerated laughs and godawful 'bantz' with Shearer and Lineker.

I lasted about three minutes of that podcast they've started, for that reason.

My only observation from this weekends motd was how Paul Robinson appears to be rapidly transforming into Chris Wilder.

It disproves the theory Micah is only there to "fill a quota". There are clearly better black pundits out there than him, I just think Micah is there for the TikTok twats.

I've only seen that theory put forward once or twice on here. My theory with Richards is that people in football like having him around (strange as that might seem). Not only do Lineker and Shearer include him on their 'Top Ten' shows, but the social media posts from other Villa players seemed genuinely warm when he left us (considering he'd contributed sod all for 4 years).

Cannot stand Richards. Awful pundit, never offers anything insightful and when he starts cackling away it makes me instantly want to mute or switch off whatever he’s on.

I'd say most people would understand a grammar school to be selective entry and state funded. Otherwise it's just an independent school that's chosen to have or retain 'grammar' in it's name.

But despite the filthy privilege I'd also say Nedum O's one of the better pundits, though that's not saying a lot.

I went to a Grammar school, on a scholarship, no spare money for "enhanced" education & I would not have been there otherwise.

My annual results where always analysed to ensure I was up to the required standard for scholarship renewal, and one year it was poor which resulted in summer holiday homework that needed to be handed in first day of returning to school - fortunately it met the standard and I was allowed to continue.

Rosenior is pretty much the best pundit I've seen.  Knowledgable, insightful and articulate. I'm glad he's doing a job in management, but it's TV's loss.

He is good and he was very good on a few versions of that game!
