Dame to Blame 95 Posted August 15, 2011 When playing i could not stand the bloke, but to be fair i thought he was excellent tonight he has really surprised me as a pundit . Him and ED Chamberlain made a good team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarino 0 Posted August 15, 2011 We were just saying the same, he was so enthusiastic (and obviously nervous) that it was quite engaging, really.How does he manage to look like he''s in a £30 suit from Matalan, though? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowdamien 0 Posted August 15, 2011 I was thinking the exact same thing. Hated him as a player but enjoyed watching him tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted August 15, 2011 I was pleasantly surprised also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newyorkcanary 14 Posted August 15, 2011 Here in the US we had Ian Darke and Steve McManaman. Darke is sort of a mainstay these days for US telecasts. McManaman was OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted August 16, 2011 Agreed, credit where credit''s due, but there will ALWAYS be a part of me that gets irritated by that excuse for a moustache and goatee! (I know I should let it go but....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, I thought GN and the main presenter linked well last night as well-impressive all round.The set could maybe do with a little bit of a tidy up-its a tad bright and garish, but, other than that, the format works.MOTD are overkill with their presenter and 2, sometimes 3 "experts". You just need the one.Lee Dixon has had a lot of praise on here lately and I agree, he''s the best of the BBC mob.Dixon and a presenter -and not Lineker-would do the job there. Thank goodness for MOTD2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries Canary 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Christ! I must be the only one who thought he was awful.Monotone, Monotonous, Dull.He even completely contradicted himself when talking about penelties? Seemed to say well done to the refs for clamping down on diving but when you slowed all of the incidents down they were penelties...but they dived. No idea what point he was trying to make.

NWC 239 Posted August 16, 2011 Good God, NO, NO, NO !!Horrible, weasel like, grubby, greasy, scrotey little **** About as smart as a half empty packet of crisps, and about as good at presenting as one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curnster 0 Posted August 16, 2011 I thought Gary Neville was really good, and actually added something to proceedings, which is a remarkable rarity amongst the usual contadictory failed managerial old boys network that all of the major channels are guilty of employing.If only the increasingly nonsensical and irritating Jamie Redknapp would realise the same thing, and shut up and stop interrupting him.

norfolkchance1 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Agreed Canaries Canary lost the point of what he was trying to say ended up looking like he was bullsh***ing.Apart from that he did Ok though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Thought he did a really good job and would happily watch him again- I never normally watch the pre match stuff but I dont regret doing so yesterday.One other thing- I was really surprised that actually the Russ Martin on Di Santo incident was actually a penalty! I was close to the action at the DW on saturday and thought it was a blatant dive [:O] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowLittle1 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Thought he was good on Super Sunday as well actually. Redknapp really is annoying, constantly interrupts people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
