unique 434 Posted February 3, 2019 Robbie Savage would prefer Leeds United, Derby county, Birmingham City or Aston Villa in the Premier League than Norwich City. Two are former clubs, but Leeds and Villa aren’t. Other than being a complete to$$er, what are his credentials for football punditry? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has been said, he’ll enjoy your criticism, it’s attention and debate and entertainment which means more listeners/viewers. Hes created a persona that’s making him money. Good luck to him. If I get bored or annoyed at him, I’ll switch it off. Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted February 3, 2019 His point was that he would rather see teams that were easier to travel to promoted ... nothing personally against the canaries. Quite why anyone would hand over their dough to listen to him waffle on at Carrow Road god only knows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’re easier to travel to for London clubs than Newcastle is for example? So basically he wants a midlands premier league then?

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted February 3, 2019 He still resents the fact that his time wasting stroll off the pitch gave time for Sim Jackson to score the winner against Derby 😀 personally i change station to avoid listening to him, it’s obvious he’s just being controversial to attract attention.

GenerationA47 750 Posted February 6, 2019 Man should let the train take the strain... it’s rather quicker. Unless he likes to stop off for big booze breaks on match day As to this provoking boycotts of the show, surely all publicity is good publicity.... even if it’s a nest of hostile snake-pitters, tickets is tickets !
