KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How did we not win the league????

That's defintely true

I'm the first to say I preferred Redknapp the player to Redknapp the pundit,

He does tend to reiterate the back pages of The Sun and was overly critical of Rafa, but to claim the likes of Poulsen and Lucas are as good makes no sense

If we had more players like him in the team we would have won the Premier league by now

All pundits ( well the vast majority) are ar5es. Neville is not bad. I also like lee dixon, the rest either uninteresting, unable to work in front of a camera, or unable to come up with ideas on tactics etc. Redknapp's not the worst. My hatred of him is down to his giving 90 percent every game spicegirls tag etc during his playing days. We had a team of 11 reknapps for the cupfinal in the mid 90s in the white suit final. Thats where a team full of spicegirls gets you

The Spice Boys tag was more down to the likes of Macca, Fowler, McAteer etc - who liked to have a laugh, go out drinking and, if you believe Everton fans, get up to a whole load of other stuff too

Redknapp wasn't really involved in that particular gang as he was focussed on his career and his family life



Most are - especially those on Sky Sports - although to be fair I don't mind Redknapp, Neville or RTay Wilkins (despite his tendency to repeat himself)

I think the likes of Gullet and Sounness are utterly awful and l.et's not reven get into Kevin Keegan - who for such a great players is embarssing with how little he knows about LFC and football in general

But would you include Hansen, Lawrenson in that 'arsehile' description

I still think Hansen is one of the best pundits out there - and that's got nothing to do with the fact he played for Liverpool

i have to admit am not the biggest rednapp ( pundit) fan but i really like hansen, lawro, dixon and even savage. i dont mind shearer his ok

Hansen, have to hand it to him, is usually right, and you can learn things off him especially how the defences are organized, lawrenson I detest, is rubbish and in front of a camera is appalling. Looks like a depressed sheep on the box. I wouldnt mind if I learned anything off him. Souness is an incredibly stupid man, only slightly more intelligent than keegan (who I havent seen much of on telly franklsy so i can't comment on his tv performances as a commentator. Wilkins is a yes man like trevor brooking although i liked brooking. I think i am mixing co commentator with pundit here but you get my drift.
Regarding co commentators a lot depends on the 'professional' commentator - if he is a plank then this seems to force the co commentator to try and do his work - so that depends on chemistry between all the team i guess
I used to like Brian moore when they ahd the sunday match and liverpool were steam rollering teams

Alan parry enthusiastic but bit of a knob

I won't mention gerald sindstat!

As for gullet didnt even know he was doing that - but the guy has such a chip on his shoulder can't see that working somehow

My criticism of redknapp in the general sense of the spiceboys players wasn't about their off field antics either. That sort of thing is ok but has to be controlled to a certain extent. And nowadays if a player is on 200 k a week i would want to control everything the fecker does from what time he takes a dump to how much coffee he drinks. I wasgetting at the rise of celebrity status in the game and i was of the opinion that certain players let this get to their game - fowler wasnt one of them in my opinion - The fact of resting on your laurels because of the fact that you have made it at a big team. I realise the guy was injured and he was not a bad player really but compared to the team of 10 years before rednapp would not of got a sniff of a chance in an lfc team

2008/09 was one of the closest and that was simply to many teams frustrated us at home just closed up shot and decided they were just gonna have 0-0 stoke game was a perfect example even jamie carragher had a few shots in that game.


2001/02 season also very close if arsenal hadn't won at old trafford we would have had a chance but man utd had to loose that 1 didnt they.

One of the worst pundits is Pony Cascarino. Absolute shitebag, who talks utter crap! He tries to pretend he knows what he's talking about, whereas the stuff he comes out with is the sort of crap you hear from idiots in pubs who know nothing about football. Craig Burley is another shitebag.

I don't know why Redders gets stick, I think he's a really good pundit, and comes across as a gent of a bloke. No airs or graces about him.

lineker is the best pundit

I agree about Redknapp (primarily) but disagree about the other two

Cascarino writes for The Times and whilst he often changes his mind and gets his predictions wrong, I do enjoy reading his stuff - especially his revelation that Frank Lampard once phoned him up and had a massive go at him after Cascarino dared write that in his oopinion Steven Gerrard was a slightly better player - personally I'd call it ,more of a fact tyhan an oinion

Craig Burley on the other hand strikes me as a decent pundit. I remember he used to do it for Setanta and i thoight he was pretty good - he knew his stuff and got most calls right

Southgate is good too - surprising he was on ITV - I always imagined him to be more a Beeb man

And one of the worst - Peter schmiechal - so9 bad the BBC had to pay him to leave!

Savage is surprisingly good - as is Stan Collymore
