Obviously my exposure to the issue is very limited and my opinion may very well be swayed by the commentaries I usually experience.

You could leave âfemaleâ out of that statement and still be correct!

Haha. Very true. And Billo too.
Duff has a face like a smacked arse and looks and sounds like heâs there under duress. Didi is great as always imo.
Youâre one last night though looked and sounded like sheâd batter you for looking at her the wrong way!
Yeah, I listened to Casey Keller basically say it was nonsense to expect a keeper to be able to use feet to distribute the ball.
I donât know how any high ups in BBC Sport look at this and think itâs ok to let Lawro carry on with his predictions and for Jenas to be involved as a pundit anymore.

We all know Lawro is bad and he exists on the fringes due to that but Jenas is front and centre and my concern is he is being groomed to take over MOTD.
I hope they give Gabby Logan the role or Alex Scott anyone but Jenas. Mark Chapman I wouldnât say no but it seems he is demoted to Sundayâs now.

Wasnât sure where to put this, so decided to stick it in here

BBC website vote for best Premier League forward. Feel free to ignore or throw a few votes the way of some of our guys.
The reason I went for this thread, is because I hate the way the bbc always do these. Firstly only sticking to Premier League since footy didnât exist before then, and it always seems to be weighted in such a way that itâs always going to be a Manc or a current BBC pundit who will progress. Only to then be won by C. Ronaldo yet again. And they do it so often in one form or another.

Up to Salah I would agree but theyâve given him that one easily.
One odd thing about that is I totally forgot Costa played for Chelsea.

McNulty meanwhile puts us second and recognises our injury record.
To me itâs probably closest to how I see it, Liverpool donât need VVD to play week in week out mind, the quality to the back has been added with Konate not to mention Gomez and Matip are there as well. The back four will no doubt be rotated but this allows us to have our best when needed.
Throw in Alisson and a decent understudy in Kellher as well as a midfield that hopefully will play more games then this side has a chance.
To me City havenât improved with the purchase of Jack Grealish and have yet to replace Aguero (no doubt they will).
I would say Chelsea have improved and so have Man Utd but on what we wonât know, as last season was such a baffling one. I for one expect we would have got better results from December with some crowds, we certainly would have been better if at least one of our three main defenders had been fully fit through out.
You have to also throw in the fact that the two seasons had very little break. If we are judging it on the one that finished in March of 2020 (effectively how I see it) then I donât think Chelsea or Man Utd have made the strides to close that gap to the level Liverpool were at. Man City got through COVID because their squad is so big.
Man Utd suffered one injury in a place they werenât as well stocked and they lost 4-2 to us, is that how far behind they are? You can add Sancho and Varane to that team but you can also add Henderson, Mane, VVD, Konate, Matip or Gomez to our team.
To me we have a chance and who is going remove us from the top 4, you take Man Utd and Chelsea into account and Man City but Iâm seeing no one else who is that close?
These pundits really are awful. Admit it if you donât like us.

Not my least favorite pundit I think (havenât read him that often for him to be that high up on the list), but I am impressed with his enormous ego here in this article:
Such quality punditryâŚ.Sounds like he had them on an AccaâŚ

I donât dislike him, but he isnât doing himself any favours with this quality of analysis.

He was shite on Strictly as wellâŚ!
As someone who has had my own struggles, I commend Collymore for being upfront about his mental health issues. That said, he doesnât help himself half the time â his aforementioned ego speaks for itself (and himself) and it doesnât seem like he ever wanted to buy into the âteamâ ethic. Canât imagine how frustrating he would have been to watch week-in, week-out.
Used to be a big fan of Barry on the Guardian football weekly podcast when James Richardson was hosting, but his sniping at Liverpool was one of the things that led to me dropping it after James and the gang left to set up their own podcast.

They were unlucky in that they set out to plough through every Liverpool player at every opportunity and have a few of us carried off. As the boys escaped serious injury, Burnley were unlucky in that their game plan failed⌠but only just!
Shower of Cnuts with Dyche just a poundland version of Alladross.!

That vid of Barnes on Matip is ridiculous yet can be seen replicating itself all over the pitch when those cunts play but the pundits are strangely (deliberately) clueless to it. Klopp has alluded to it more than once and still, itâs all good according to them, and some of our fans.

Yup also see Barnes on Jota throughout.
