I don’t think Shearer is that bad. I like Ian Wright, he seems like a big fan of Klopp, the season we won the league you could’ve been forgiven for thinking that he used to play for us. 

I like Ian Wright. In fact, I don't think there are many in football that don't like the man. Roy Keane seems to be great mates with him and Keane said himself he doesn't have many friends in football. How could you not like Wrighty basically.

 

Shearer was a great player but I think he is a snide fucker as a pundit. A nastier version of Gary Linekar.

Probably because he hates everyone and everything.

Shearer was a fucking snide as a player too. A good player as you say, but a cunt. His only saving grace was fucking off Ferguson.

He seems to have a low tolerance of bullshitters. Definitely overly critical of people but that tells me that Wright must be incredibly sound.

Got to respect him for going back to his boyhood club. Got away with a lot on the pitch from being England's best player.

The Paddy Power videos are generally quite funny and well observed.

 

As an aside, Chris Sutton who has been given Lawro's gig is coming across as a right prick on it within 2 games.

That’s because Chris Sutton is a prick.

. He's not taking himself seriously and does it all for a laugh. 

It must be a hell of a private joke, then. 

 

The thing about these supposedly happy-go-lucky professional cynics is that, when it's turned on to them, their own skin is so thin they practically burst into tears at the abuse. Here he is NOT finding it funny when wound up by an even worse arsehole, Adrian Durham:

 

 

I hate the whole soul-selling genre of this shithousery.

His job isn't to be adorable. It's to stretch out hours of football talk with very little to talk about - or very little new as he does things like the Monday night club which is after all the weekend games have been dissected countless times by others before that.

Yes, thanks, I'm well aware of that. It's not something I think is needed and not something I admire. There's absolutely nothing admirable about professional gainsaying. If there was, at least twenty people on here would have been awarded an MBE.

 

Why 'stretch out hours of football talk' - what the fuck is necessary, let alone admirable, about that?? It's like saying 'Well he has to keep hitting his wife because otherwise she'd get up and leave'. I know the logic. I don't have to have it explained to me. I just find the role profoundly pathetic.

 

Take last weekend. Klopp said Palace were the better side, he said his side played poorly, that it was their fault, his fault, and that was that. No excuses. Zero. Come Monday, Sutton rages at Klopp for mentioning that the dryness of the pitch wasn't ideal, telling him to stop moaning and accept his team didn't deserve to win. Now tell me how that was impressive, and why it should be tolerated, or even applauded, because I don't see anything but lazy cynicism.
