That’s the thing, he knows he’s such a disagree no one will believe him at this point anyway (the Fox News defence).

On a serous note, he knows this gets clicks and that’s all he cares about. The last think sky cares about is how “right” he is, only how loud he is.

There is no chance in hell it will be axed in the premier league - unless all the other big leagues would also agree to do it.

„May” is doing a lot of work there. It’s easy to forget just how bad arsenal looked under Emery.

Yes Raul was a big problem but the players basically downed tools at one point. Didn’t we let Watford have like 40+ shots at us in one late Emery-era game?

So is your mom.

It’s really time to realise that Neville and Carragher are not “experts” but simply two popular “football commentators” who know exactly how limited their analysis are. Thousands could do their job. What they have is a rich background in playing the game (meh) and that’s why they are there. They are also highly replaceable and they know it and are shit scared of being found past it, boring, or god forbid, cancelled. So they suck the party line hook, like and sinker. What would they do if they got sacked, honestly? They can’t coach. Go on talk sport? They know this is it and they got it made, they’d rather go out to Qatar (oops) and kiss the ring than make a statement and lose their jobs.

I don’t mean this to shit on them, if you enjoy them that’s fine. But realise, hundreds of footballers retire every year and there are few jobs to be had. These two got the best ones out there but could be replaced with little annoyance in a minute if needed. They know it and are not about to put their jobs that they’ve worked hard to get on the line for anyone or anything.

Ok, thanks!

For me definitely Baggio. Poor guy was lynched for it and if I’m not misremembering, never played for the national team again (which is crazy, he was so good).

I mean, yeah that’s how it works. You need a team and a great manager. Sweden has Isak, Kulusevski, Forsberg and Lindelof and crashed out not even remotely close in a all things considered very easy group.

Meanwhile much “lesser” teams get through. You need 11 and you need tactics. Simple (but not easy)

Honestly think they might get a massive triple relegation, bans and all that comes with it, and it will end up on appeal as Juve got it - single relegation and point deduction basically meaning one season in the shit.

That still doesn’t mean carragher isn’t a total hypocrite and hack who’s face looks like it’s aged like milk.

The fact that Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes get mentioned just shows how biased the thinking is towards English players. Keane, Viera, Cantona, Toure, Cesc… loads of better players.

And yet another piece of proof that Carragher is the worst pundit out there. He’s been on quite a roll these last few weeks. What a moron.

It really is high time for the clubs to hand together and demand that PGMOL be disbanded and a new body be built from the ground up. This is disgraceful.

Also the FA - you really want to piss off the clubs that tried to break away for a super league just recently? Absolute assholes.

The city pen was a fucking joke.

Elaine: absolutely nothing, huh!

You can also make an argument Carragher is the worst pundit in the premier league…

Used to like it but I just can’t take their absolute adoration of referees and every single shit decision they inadvertently will defend. They actually blamed arsenal for getting Mason fired and after Newcastle the vitriol they had against Arteta… I just deleted it. Which is too bad because apart the referee nonsense they are a decent podcast but they talk about it as if the check was in the mail every single week.

That’s exactly what it is, it’s basically Boozy Boris questions but without the opposition asking them. The PL behaving like a tinpot propaganda machine.

It’s like the later seasons of 24 - a lot of shouting and screaming, every 90 minutes ending in torture and them making up the rules/plot as they go along from game to game.

Yeah well what you „would rather” doesn’t make a good decision. So we now have refs who don’t make decisions because of VAR and VAR that doesn’t want to overturn decisions because of “clear and obvious” (ie friends). The whole sequence of events at Newcastle in that one play is enough to disband VAR all and together, that’s how bad it is.

At what point did we come to “it’s subjective not a clear and obvious error” of Gabriel being pushed to simply looking at it on a replay and seeing Gabriel being pushed? Tear it all down.
