..there's a certain poetry about the way people comment on cricket whether on the radio or tv . Golf is calm and analytical. I've just listened to 90 minutes of pure drivel from Carragher and the other bloke who thinks football didn't exist before 1992 - every statistic, how trivial and meaningless , ignoring or perhaps ignorant of anything that went before.
It'll take a few weeks to get acclimatised..
Is Carragher back?
He was 'punditting' on Sky after the Manu game
Yes he is. I actually don’t mind him or Gary Neville. I think a lot of the analysis they do on MNF is really interesting.Quote:

No one is forcing you to watch it, there’s plenty of simple coverage out there for people like you too. I prefer the Neville and carragher stuff and find it interesting.Quote:

Where is this Simple stuff you talk of ? After a round with Carra and Nev, my brain is in overload-As for the last sentence: wasn't pissed at anything, What the **** is 'Game Management'? :thumbup:Quote:

Against Croatia "We are fitter, we are faster". Half time, with Croatia obviously in the ascendancy, "This is a poor Croatia team".
He is a complete clown.
My attitude has always been that if these pundits/analysts tell me something I didn't know already then they are a worthwhile addition. That's why I enjoyed Gary Neville's contributions in particular when he started, but I agree about the World Cup when he seemed more interested in living up to his reputation. Also, increasingly, I find that he starts games with some predetermined viewpoint and sticks to it come what may even if events on the pitch aren't really supporting it.
I thought it was going to be about some of the "animals" we have as fans. !!!!!!!Quote:
