Rubbish first half.
Who on EARTH is......Keith Andrews, one of the Sky pundits? I have Googled him and still never heard of him. Just like that Adam Virgo. Who is seriously interested in the opinions of barely journeyman footballers? :facepalm:

I take it you've not watched much championship football in the past ?
Either way he's spoken with quite a good knowledge I feel tonight, first punditry I've heard from the bloke but he sounded like he knew everything about our season. Maybe you prefer the likes of Shearer and Ian Wright who only offer us soundbites.

I like Andrews as a summariser. Virgo is terrible

Its nice to see good old fashioned footballers instead of the usual gravy train droning on scousers and failed ex Man U players who have failed in managements
377 games , 44 goals, Irish International. as I remember half decent player.
Sorry for the comment I was at the game , not watching it on TV ,well sort of, was a bit worse for wear ,being last game and all .
