Two people who usual take differing views from each other and have watched a lot of football. However what I get is a barely coherent Merson talking some rubbish, Jamie Redknapp telling me Frank is a nice boy and didn't his dad do well, and Shearer shoehorning himself into a pair of trousers in time to tell me nothing of particular interest. - Lincoln Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:41:34 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/4076/38/#pc_1171 The problem with punditry is that they all have connections in the game and are hesitant to criticise anyone and breaking up the nauseating, cosy ex-footballers pally act. Or it could be that ex-footballers by and large have nothing interesting to say. It would be nice to occasionally see journalists with a keen insight on the game like Tim Vickery, Jonathan Wilson or Sid Lowe have a chance as a pundit but I guess that's too much to hope for. And on the other end of the scale from bland punditry you have Alan Green... - t.j.vickerman Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:25:27 +0100
