Very impressed with Zabaleta as a pundit on the BBC. Speaks very well, talks a lot of sense and has added to the WC experience on the beeb.

Most of the overseas pundits seem to come across better than most of the British ones on both channels!

Even my mum who barely speaks English and does not care one bit about football talks more sense then Shearer and Kilbane to name but 2......
There is far too much talk about football anyway, MotD beggars believe sometimes taking more time to talk about the game the showing the highlights. Think generally the commentary is very good but the punditry is awful.

The same one presumably as Lineker, Murphy, Shearer, Keown, Kilbane, Sutton, Lawrenson and Neville?

Was it not he that broke Bakary Sako's foot? If that's right then he can f*** right off.

Commentary seems to be aimed at people who watch a lot of football and know all the players. I don't as I tend to only watch Palace games nowadays and I prefer the commentary in the old days when the commentator simply said who was on the ball and didn't bother with all the associated waffle that you get nowadays

In complete agreement. Reads the game with great insight and candidness without the massive ego. ITV pundits are proving to be cringing to watch and listen to e.g. Ezra

At least his team got to the World Cup. Why are Lawrenson, Kilbane, Keane, O'Neill etc there?

He looked broken after the Croatia game.

 


Optimistic as ever

Agreed. It was a cowards tackle. I’m not one to hold grudges but I can’t look at him now. Yeah he reads the game well, we’ll enough to know it’s a 50-50 he isn’t going to win, so he lifted his studs and protected himself. He should have been sent off.

Wickham boyed him at Selhurst 2 years ago, I think he’s still waiting for the now.

Evra is doing a passable impression of Garth Crooks, almost bursting out his 3 piece suit. His condescending attitude to his female colleague on one panel was embarrassing. She spoke and knew far more than him.
