With Crook is Troy (brainbox|) Deeney - how these think fuckers keep getting media gigs are beyond me.

I am no fan of Rashford (because of where he is from rather than actual personal reasons) but the more i hear this

Practices best Keegan impression

I would fooking love it if he rams this shit down their throats and fires us up the league - and even then the narrative would be about him returning to the redfilth.

The point made that playing Amorims "Way" has seen then  lost 5/7 at home is a very good one and completely missed by mugs like these

Probably because people keep listening to them, hang on their every word then breathlessly go and tell people all about them.

I know i know i shouldnt but...

Talkshite just      - in genralisation

"Rashford has took the lazy , easy option by going to Villa"
"Only gone there as he does not have to move house"
"If Amorim could not get a tune out of him, why does Emery think he can"  I nearly smashed the TV at this point.
"None of the big teams looked at him"

Not sure why the media give Amorim such an easy time - pretty much like Crocodile Dundee at Spurs, Doing well in a small league does not qualify you to be a top Manager.

Emery has done it across several leagues in several countries

The distain they use against Villa is appauling


Which fuckwit was it?

Alex Crook mainly. He also said players don’t leave Manchester United to go to Aston Villa.

I’ve just sent them a very angry text!


And that is what they want . Crook is a typical arrogant Southern Manc Red twat and thinks the world revolves around that bloody club

Someone will have to fill out an additional fire risk assesment.

Yup - it’s their model to drive engagement.

On the flip side are their any pundits of ex professionals you favour , prefer or feel they give good analysis and insights?

Did they repeatedly mention his physical appearance? Such as his nose for instance?

Most of the questions they ask each other are pretty standard with neither quality or insightful answers.

I listen to some of White and Jordan as they also cover boxing.

I like Durham as a presenter as he isn't overly in awe to the big clubs - as he is a Posh fan.

The Southern Reds can fuck off

I'd like to hear more from Brian Clough.

We were talking about Micah Richards on the concourse the other week and I said his input could be improved if they put some of them horns on front of him and he played them with his nose like those sealions on variety shows in the 70's.

Liam Rosenior was very good a few years back but then went into management and dropped off.

From Sky I don't have any issues with Evra or Hasselbaink and I can live with Neville despite his clear bias.

From TNT Crouch does what Richards tries to do in a much better way and Hargreaves is ok.

More broadly Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe do the US shows and are both very good.
