The Problem With Football Pundits.

- There is a huge problem with football pundits. They're more everywhere than ever from Sky Sports to Talksport to wherever else, giving awful opinions and as many cringe moments as they can. Punditry is a growing issue in this country so i'm taking a look a the worst that football has to offer. From Rio Ferdinand to Roy Keane to Gary Neville to Jamie Carragher, every pundit has had their fair share of horrible opinions.
"Balon d'Or, ho d'Or, hodor, hodor" - Rio Ferdinand.
😂😂😂😂 that was good
Genuinely had no idea what he was trying to say.
Bro was speaking facts😂
@@Globaldave1970 racist guy
Aww man that's beyond rapier humour.
I prefer ex managers as pundits over ex footballers cause the managers know more about the tactical side and have less bias while analysing compared to ex players who keep bringing up the past instead of analysing the present.
You should hear Gary Neville as a commentator he's quiet until United score
i know you talking about Mourinho, always with a spot on analysis
I agree, I've seen a few times where wenger and Mourinho were pundits and the stuff they talk about is next level compared to former players
Ex managers are just generally more educated and life experienced and their job involves a lot of communication.
@@makavelismithHenry is the only ex player pundits who good at tactics breakdown
Can’t forget when genius Gary Neville said Spain won’t win the euros with Cucurella in the squad 😂😂
Tbf we all thought cucurella was a liability pre euros
Yeh because with hindsight everything is obvious, you act as if you even had Spain in your top 3 for contenders
Youre mad if Spain isn't in your top 3. Cause it ain't France ,Spain and Germany in that order as favorites to win the tournament. Who else did you think would win @@Ali-fb5km
@ Spain were actually my favourites to win mate
Gary Neville is the worst. He also said they were too young. The guy had never seen Yamal or Williams play before the tournament.
At least some of these other pundits with ridiculous takes, have a sense of humour.
Far too many ex-United and ex-Liverpool pundits🥵
Honestly never seen an Ex Chelsea 😅😅😅
@@seyioyetade Lampard?
@@SFNDMK rily? I think he is a guest, not a regular cast of any pundit show
@@a.demifemiflapo5795 oh yea 😂😆😆 I meant Chelsea legend not Chelsea player 😂😆😆 team morinho squad is when legends were made
@@seyioyetade Hasslebank is a chelsea legend tbf
carragher and neville get way more hate but rio is another level of bellend.id much rather be mates with james cordon.
Yeah cheating on your wife while she battles cancer and then making a documentary about is very very low
Ah Jesus, let's not go that far with the last sentence 😂
🤣💀💀
Ouch!😂
Impossible to watch the carragher malik clip without your skin crawling
Not entirely carraghers fault. She encourages the level of frivolous banter and hinting that she's up for it all the time. So she decides it's not ok all of a sudden.
I had to skip 10 seconds 😭
@ tbf I get what you mean but there’s definitely a line to be crossed and that one was just a bit too much for everyone involved lol
It was a joke about Man Utd. Calm your tits, you weirdo.
@@chriszenpaok Same, just double tapped, couldn't even hear it 😂
Always love when rio talks about the importance of loyalty in football when he cheated on his dying wife....
I’ve never heard of this.
@mr_red13 english media did well to keep ot quiet
@@ja1295 how did you learn about it?
@@mr_red13 it is true
Think the government covered it up
I don't live in the UK anymore but when I was last over I watched MOTD on IPlayer and skipping through all the punditry made it so much better. Love your content. A lot of great videos here.
I think it's to do with the rise of youtube pundits. They need to come up with controversial takes like youtube creators do in order to stay in the limelight.
Agreed. Really sad that the integrity of pundits who are supposed to help us understand and discuss the game is being eroded by a drive for more clicks. I’m astounded by how ignorant the discussions can be on the major channels. They need to do better.
Really sad, but true, clicks have been prioritised over quality insights for a while now
The push started when Sky purposefully made Souness really channel his Pogba opinion into a weekly bit.
Anyone who has watched Souness outside of English TV knows he is a more than capable pundit who isn't like he is on Sky.
Ditto we see with Carra on CBS vs Sky. Yes but care about the views and clicks, but Jamie is effectively a clown like Micah generally is both shows when on CBS.
Everything is about squeezing as much engagement out of a rock as possible.
Remember how quickly they moved Graeme Souness on because he said ‘its a man’s game’
@@LoCoAde87It was when he got five assists or whatever it was, and Souness said "that's just his job though"
Way too obvious that he had a personal issue.
Haha the only punditry I take seriously is from Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger
I can't stand even Rio's voice
I know, he has the voice of a rapper or something - Tim Sherwood, probably
I can't stand rio 😂
Naah. It's 'phenomenal.'
Ally McCoist: co-com, Martin O'Neill: pundit, Roy Keane: pundit (say what we're all thinking), Patrice Evra: pundit (interesting stories). Jim Rosenthal: host.
The sherlock type of wisdom from owen "If they can't score, they hardly win games" that is something a clueless American will say and not the only English ballon dor winner
You are clueless for saying Owen is the only English ballon for winner
I always thought people making fun of him for this was harsh. We all say stupid things sometimes, but no one has receipts. To be fair to him, I think he meant to say, "If they don't score first, they hardly win games."
@@HHh-ug4oeStanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, Kevin Keegan...all English, I think, not sure about Keegan
@strollic5162 no he's just stupid 😂
Jose Mourinho was the greatest pundit the way he analysed the game when he was at Sky sports just shows how much better his Ball knowledge was compared to the other so called "Experts". Thierry Henry is an other one i like as a pundit.
Yah he was really good
Henry is awful. Great player terrible pundit
@guitarreilly I like henry when he analyzes players and show how a player should have been playing and what they did right he really shows you what the naked eye of common football fans doesn't catch.
Perfectly said my thoughts exactly@@mrpk1719
When the others were giving opinions, there's always some argument. But when Mourinho was talking, they all literally went silent most of the times, because they knew they didn't have anything insightful to argue with him.
Eni Aluko is easily the worst pundit of all time.
I hate that Caragher gets to commentate on Chelsea games. His seething bias is too much for him to control. Thank god Joe Cole went in to punditry as he is a very welcome respite whenever we’re lucky enough to have him. Best part is, even though he’s clearly proper Chels, his commentary still feels more knowledgeable & observant rather than just spouting out negativity for click bait.
Can’t stand Carragher when he’s on Chelsea games. When we were bad he kept pointing to the billion pounds spent. Now that we doing well he says well they spent a billion pounds so they should be doing well. Can never give any unbiased praise. Same with Neville
West Ham fan.
I agree as a Liverpool fan. They need to stop having these former players on commentary. Honestly I think Carragher and Neville are top pundits and very entertaining
But in live commentary we want fair comments and no biases
Joe Cole does the same thing on Liverpool games. Never has a good word to say about us. He clearly gets picked as an 'ex Liverpool player' but I think everyone would prefer to pretend that never happened.
This was recommended to me and needs to be made a weekly segment.
Great vid
That hawk tua has me spitting vodka out me nose! Subbed without hesitation lad what a video hahaha united fan but that rio part is BANG on as well.
Micah Richards and Kean during a Man United collapse is GOLD
So, every time United plays, then?
Algorithms suggested this. This was awesome, Tobes. Best laugh of the year so far.
Ultimately this boils down to the fact that most English footballers simply aren’t that bright and it spills over into their punditry. Listen to an ex-player pundit in any American sport and compare it with football pundits in England. It’s night and day how much more eloquent the Americans sound and I’m sure the reason for that is American players have to go to university whilst English footballers just have to scrape a pass in two GCSEs.
Interesting analysis, never thought of that. It's true I had a little phase when I was in high school where I watched NBA, and I learned that they all have to go to college and get a degree, and in fact that's where pretty much all the players are scouted, college. Americans have much to teach others in how to run sports, and how to actually be profitable, since most football teams are loss businesses.
It's one of very few walks of life where Americans come across more educated...sometimes. Joking aside, you're probably onto something with the university thing, English players have their paths set for them before they sit any formal qualifications. It's only those who are naturally educationally inclined that will go onto study the game and those guys aren't doing it for media work, they want to be coaches, working at football clubs and making a tangible difference
I thought it was the other way around?
American sports are garbage. A monkey could provide analysis on those so-called sports.
I think it's more that British fans (I'll say British to not pick on the English) are more often than not reactionary and ignorant, with next to no curiosity about anything outside of their own island. There are plenty of good pundits that could offer different perspectives, but the public wants someone they can relate to. 0% chance that Paul Merson or Tim Sherwood are there for their thoughtful analysis.
This is honestly such a great video. Just brings to light how banal football punditry is and how everyone basically gets it wrong. Makes people like Joey Barton look silly as well. Man, woman, frog, whoever’s giving their opinions, It’s all terrible.
Your channel is brilliant. You'll go far. Keep it up mate.
When watching the likes of Mourinho, Benitez and Wenger doing punditry, it was like a breath of fresh air. Not only they have won different trophies as manager, they also know things tactically and unbias when giving their analysis.
Most of the active pundits today are either lack of some of the criterias or all of them.
Subscribed. Cracked me up. Brilliant content.
Don’t be surprised. Great sense of humour mixed with the truth. Looking forward to more videos
As a Liverpool fan since the 70s, I can honestly say Jamie Cloggergher is our GOAT coin-thrower and gobber. And, after seeing this, he's certainly no slacker at being a creepy weasel too!
Didn't he once tunred up to a party completely naked?
Haven't we all @@OAInbox
Iv come here to say thanks.
Iv needed this.
Your videos have been on my suggestions page for a the past 2 days started seeing them. Love the videos
Cool video mate. You should maybe consider doing a deeper dive on this subject, could be really interesting. It is a challenge that most fail, to balance the charisma, banter, but good football insight. The whole point is, they are supposed to offer an insight that as a viewer, we might not be aware of. Nowadays it's mostly about stroking each others egos off, if you know what I'm saying.
This was very funny mate. Really enjoyed it
And he’s a Garry Webster look a like
It’s all about making the most outrageous, clip-worthy stuff. Same with Roy Keane. Great player, but bad pundit, yet he’s kept because he is box office.
I think he’s a good pundit, says exactly what needs to be said. I think his clip worthy stuff is just completely natural, so Sky have just gone mental trying to squeeze banter out of everything
Came up on my recommended. Great watch buddy! Sums it up perfectly 😂
Keep it up man I have a feeling this channel will explode this year
Carra for me is actually a great pundit. Yeah he can be off, but so are elite managers lol
I just like carra for he actually forms his own opinion and defends it whereas the rest just say whatever the first thing pops in their head is
Neville said Liverpool won't make the top 4, these lot are a joke, I don't think there's one who really knows what they're talking about
Rio, is the worst pundit ever 😂😂
Roy Keane is one of the worst examples of punditry. All he ever says is "try harder" "run harder" "more effort" no insight no tactical acumen no football intelligence.
He demanded that as leader on the pitch in game and training hence his frustration now as a pundit
Yeah, but he's don't pretend otherwise. That's why I like him. 99% of other pundits just repeat the same cliche, acting as if they can do the coach works. Despite all the words of wisdom, that Carra and Neville bring, none of the coaches seem to use them. That's simply meant their talks are cheaps, and their advices are impractical. Keane simply play his character for a paycheck. Go to the Overlap Tactics, and the coaches/scouts clearly have better punditry.
WHAT? Keane might not be right on everything, but he's by far the less of all the evils that are pundits.
He doesn't have the tactical idea but he is maybe the only one who provides a voice that rings true for players who are being lazy.
@SirMonkeySuit that's why it is lazy punditry. There are millions of people who want to wear that shirt. The player who beat millions for that job, can't be lazy or the coaches won't pick him.
WE NEED A PART 2. MAKE THIS A SERIES!!
I agree that most pundits have no idea what they're talking about but you could have gone into a bit more depth rather than just showing one clip.
1:41 mate your just cherry-picking at this point, acting as if Vini weren't top 2 for the balon d'or
And we all thought he'd win it fr
@@lyricistk4918 "All." rofl... it's insane how some people thinks the world is based around their thoughts... So many people went for Rodri it was a tie... look at streams/votes/pundits. etc.. unless you listen to your school/tiktok kids mates of course they are going to say Vini. their football knowledge from Tiktok shorts with sigma songs while Vini doing rainbow flicks.
The point is pundits shouldn't be trying to influence decisions you muppet.
@@SirMonkeySuit they aint influencing shit if they have an opinion they should give it thats what they are paid for
I thought it was funny because we all thought Vini was 200% winning it😂
Roy Keane just did the 'smashed' joke again recently and all his sycophants wet themselves.
Bro calling JACKson a rapper is hilarious 😂😂
That's why I don't listen to toxic pundits.
This was hilarious mate, subbed for more.
Well since the new manager bounce ended, Chelsea is coming back down
your channel is funny as fuck mate. The thogden one last week had of us bolton fans creasing.
Football journos/experts on certain leagues are the best pundits. James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein etc are good examples.
The athletic? *those* are your guys?
JJ Bull the Bullard
Never seen this channel before, nice video man.
Love the RUclips stuff man you’re a great creator
In a just world we'd have Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez on punditry every week.
They need to have footballers just as the colour. The fanatical fans that just love football. Need to be the anchors.
This was a good laugh, thank you!
Carragher is actually decent - him on MNF is good
Im only here for Keano .. his disgust for poor performances are born from the standards he set that made United where they are
Hmm if football was easy to predict we would all be loaded
This was beyond hilarious 😂
Lets have the men host the women's football, you know something fresh!
To be fair Emily pankhurst had some revolutionary ideas about cattenaccio.
This video is fucking amazing bro. Second time I'm watching it
Curious who do you support Tobes? Love the content.
Chelsea. He says it on the video.
The ex-pros are a bit thick. The game has also moved on since they played. Pep humiliated Fergie’s teams 15 years ago. I can’t watch Keane and Neville anymore. Richard Keys reminds me on of the uncool kids I knew at school who had no success with girls. What middle aged man talks like that?
Owen may have meant to say "when they concede, they hardly ever win". However, given his track record, and who he is, I won't give him the benefit of the doubt. 😂
If you don't score goals, you don't win games.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO,IM TIRED OF THESE FORMER PLAYERS
These clips are wild.🚫🤣
No mention of Gary Neville stating that United were gonna finish above Liverpool this season? That one didn't even make sense when he said it
He was joking wasn't he?
Vini for Ballon dor was a solid shout
Never knew young Tim Roth had a RUclips channel with just over 8K subscribers.
As a Liverpool fan, it pains me to say that Carragher, Owen and McMannamen are probably the worst pundits out there. But that’s not saying too much, it’s a total s**t show
Did you really call Mikel Arteta Micheal? Are you alright ?
You realise that’s deliberate? Silly goose
Ballandoh! Ballandoh! Ballandoh! Ballandoh! Ballandoh! Ballandoh!
bro most if not all not these "football pundits" are just clowns they are NOT Knowledgeable about football AT ALL, they arent funny , they arent charismatic they are just lames and its crazy , id rather have oozzing expression do commentary than what ever TF micah richards is doing
What's happened to all the Chelsea content mate?
Usually like your videos but implying that Rio Ferdinand or other pundits is a fortune teller and what they say must happen is just a little disappointing, to be honest :)
😂😂😂
Michael owen with comments like
The team that scores the most goals usually win games
Great vid just subscribed 😊
Danny Murphy is the absolute worse....
Walking Mogadon ...!
2:23 i see that clip everywhere whenever people talk about how stupid Owen is, I dont think hes usually that bad, besides that clip
I think it's obvious he meant to say: "When they don't score FIRST, they hardly ever win."
And somehow punditry is actually better than it was 10 years ago. When Neville came to MNF and started doing some real analysis it showed up the ex-pro "Proper Football Man" for the lazy work they were doing. Guys like the Redknapps and Shearer saying "He won't be happy with that" or "he's got to do better than that" as their key piece of insight couldnt cut it anymore.
Footballers have rarely been the best people to do this job as few of them have the communication skills required to do the job. Sports journalists were always better equiped for the job, but didnt have the name value. Somehow the ex-pros would look down on these types, despite not actually trying to do the job with any amount of effort.
Unless youve a top coach or top manager, pundits will be a waste of time
I start watching game when ref starts game and switch off when game ends,anyone could do that job of punditry
It’s the simplest game on the planet made confusing by idiots trying to over complicate it
13:37 that made me smile
The fact is Vini should have received the Ballon D'Or
8:09 what was wrong with that? Jamie was right, we literally lost 4-0 to Brentford
So rarely do you actually learn something from pundits. It's all just surface level analysis stating the bleeding obvious using clichés we've heard a million times before.
i think this whole system is a load of shit in every department you have unqualified people in qualified position
Neil McCann is a goated pundit
Yea Rio has lived long enough to become the villain. You talk enough shit, people will eventually remember some of it.
They're near all idiots but the issue isn't that specifically. They are uncharasmatic, and their shitty to plain at best points filters down and further dilutes the pool of genuine football talk out there.
Thank fuck there is some good Youtune channels out there.
Tbh sky sports with Richard Keys and Andy Gray was brilliant, same as MOTD with Alan Hansen. Nearly all the pundits are absolutely crap at analysing games now, Carragher to be fair is probably the best at it out of the current shite thats on offer.
Good video enjoyed that
football pundits are joke nowdays
For the algo! Bloody brilliant; have a sub 😁
This guy looks like Arthur Daily’s right hand man after Terry left.
Slaven Bilic and Jose Mourinho have done quite well when they've been in the pundit's chair.
I’m sick of the pundits heavy lean into banter, dragged down the professionalism imo. It’s class in sprinkles but it’s gone overboard for me
5:03, this comment is insane from Sherwood. He wasn’t wrong though, but for his brain to immediately go to ‘rapper’ 😂😂
He said a rapper or an actor. What's the problem?
Would a black doctor get to play in Soccer Aid?
Would a black plumber get to play in Soccer Aid?
It's only entertainers that play in Soccer Aid, so what's the problem with the comment?
It shows more about people, how they are looking for problems where none exist. Those types of people have set race relations back to be worse than the 1970s for no reason other than their indoctrination by universities and non white racists
Ex players were very good at following instructions without thought. Thats why they were elite..... But when it comes to critical thinking and analysis, they are out of thier confort zone and they're too dumb to know it.
Keane is indeed the GOAT - absolutely hilarious 😂
