You have to say what these two have achieved is pretty impressive.
It’s one thing sitting on Match of the Day and answering questions.
But these two are much more than pundits - they’re genuine presenters now to be fair, asking questions and even operating all that fancy technology stuff.
Has he gobbed at the screen yet ??
I like them.
They get out there and meet people and research stuff (presumably because sky tell them to).
However it’s better than what MOTD serve up. Shearer boring us all to death.
I think Carragher has had elocution lessons as I can now understand what he says.
Carragher was unattractively arrogant in his twitter spat with Danny Simpson. I also find it strange that they both have had long careers surrounded by players of all different sorts of ability and personality types and they're both just fans saying "he's not good enough" without any nuance or consideration. I guess that they are just highly experienced fans is both their strength and, to me at least, a weakness.
Sky have plenty of money behind them and the BBC are always playing catchup wrt technology.Quote:

Carragher a plagiarist of Neville IMHO and his voice and whiney accent still grates on me.
I think Neville is the best pundit out there
Bet he wishes he had done better as a manager though.Quote:

Don't think Carragher is as good as Neville, but he's still a lot better than most.
Don't mean to piss on your chips, but Andy Townsend is also a presenter now and he uses the big touch screens too.Quote:

Why you see these people as relevant to watching football on tv is beyond me watch the game and draw your own conclusions after all these fellas are doing what they do because they can’t manage or coach teamsQuote:

I draw my own conclusions and I’m still interested in the breakdown they give after a game.Quote:

and when he replies his reply is relevant.
so many of these pundits talk over people or just wan to prove they know better. He doesn't do that.
