Chelsea v Liverpool

Interesting thread; less so for the content but more so for the random little thumbs up and down which started appearing later on.

Not done by RR, BoT, Trev or myself, but mainly by the weak one. He who is increasingly desperate for attention as his period of temporary, gossamer-thin pseudo-popularity has waned in the countdown to the crossing of one arbitrary time period to the next.

Those who have an ear to hear, would benefit from having another one.

Thanks for bringing us back to the 'real world '. You quite sure only 3 'pundits' passed opinion on the red card? Don't have Sky myself, but was Neville the only 'pundit' on there for that game? Must be other outlets too.

As for 'Carra', yep, lovable scouser. Unbiased. Prone to spit at other fans who dare to taunt him about Liverpool losses despite that lack of bias. Nice.

I'd love to trade blows by dishing the dirt on a Forest player of the same era, but frankly I just don't know any. 🤷‍♂️

As an aside, do you think you would make a good football pundit?

@relentless-red said
Do you know any fans who don't think that? More seriously I'd rather be a fan.

It's funny watching ex-players making the transition into pundits. Some manage better than others. To demonstrate some nonpartisan credentials I actually think Gary Neville is one of the best if not the best (which I've said elsewhere before the incident discussed in this thread). He's v ...[text shortened]... ut when push comes to shove you can tell he is a blue (more recently hidden by his Leicester focus).

Yeah.

Agree and agree on Neville and Carra. Carra sometimes winds Neville up as he did after the Utd drubbing by your lot. Hilarious to watch. Bitter rivals on the pitch never really dies 😆

I don’t see Lineker as having a Chelsea bias though. I suppose he has to be the smooth anchorman though and to be fair he’s pretty good at it.

I didn’t know Linekar was a Chelsea fan? He’s not a pundit though, great presenter though, worse pundit of the lot is Jenas, rubbish presenter as well. Carra would be better if you could understand more than 50% of what he’s saying 😉

@relentless-red said
I think they're definitely teaching Carra to talk slower. Funnily enough though I used to work with this guy from just outside Belfast who spoke faster. I think a lot of people from the north speak even faster again?? Carra is strongly Bootle though, you'd find Trent easier to understand. 😉

Edit: the blue I was referring to re Lineker being Evertonian.

@trev33 said
Country folk around Cork or Tipp have to take the talking fast and not being able to understand s word they’re saying award. I don’t find Carra that fast but his accent is brutal, you know the way they put subtitles when an African or Indian person is speaking English sometimes? Need the same with Carra 😁

But yeah, we generally talk quite fast in NI, expect for people from ...[text shortened]... ey’re too stupid to talk fast, little brains don’t work that quickly 😂

Lineker is from Liverpool?

@relentless-red said
No, I think Lineker is probably from Leicester. He played for Everton though. Showing my age.

@trev33 said
He had always been Bias towards Spurs and Leicester hadn’t noticed Everton but didn’t know he used to play for them.

I'm supporting Swindon tonight.

What are you rambling on about? 😂
