You might think it ridiculous l happen to think it correct,tell you what l find mind blowing about the money they pay to football experts is I’m sure like me you’ve been to hundreds upon hundreds of live football matches yet you get no pre match,half time or post match analysis ok you may discuss it between your mates or even the guy sat next to you but for the most part you draw your own conclusions thats why messageboards are so interesting no two people seem to agree on anything when it comes to a game they’ve just been to and that’s fine ,but on tv a so called experts opinion is so much more important that they will pay out 1.7 million for the privilege of hearing it
