We don't have "John", or "Alan", so why should Johnny Foreigner think he can get away with "Alexis" or "Sergio"? Why does it matter to you?

To be fair, I know with Memphis Depay and (I think) Dele Alli that it's to do with them not wanting to display their fathers name because he's left home or whatever. And surely Johnny Foriegner would have 'Johnny' on the back of his shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicharito was even worse because it meant every match the commentators would show us how clever they were by telling us what it meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why Tyrone Mears used to have 'Tye'. It was supposedly out of superstition because he kept suffering injuries - but he stopped doing it from Wembley onwards? And why would he attribute his injuries to what's on the back of his shirt anyway?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 'May as well close this thread now' We literally still have threads open about Ferrie Bodde and Gary Teale's form picking up, but you're expecting a forum made for discussion to close a thread on a player because the Mirror reckon they've agreed terms with Villa? Chill out, you over-dramatic tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Pundits (again) on the return of Hernandez "That's what Hull need, a genuine goal threat" I think it's great that they help us understand this game. When was the last pundit to explain different ways teams create angles or how you get 11 blokes to get in positions where the ball can't be threaded between them? I tend to play on my phone during these state the obvious pundit sessions or when they're explaining how a CB would have won the ball if he was stood somewhere else. I appreciate it's not Hannibal winning the battle of Cannae but it would actually be an insight. "I'm sure xxx will be pleased to get that win" "They'll take confidence from that." "It's a great first touch" "He shouldn't be diving in there" ffs, some of us have been watching football for 20,30,40,60,80 years. We know what a good pass looks like. We know goals win you games. Why are you getting paid to tell us what we know. Tell us stuff we don't know. Help us appreciate the brains involved. I can see for myself that he just ran past that guy using his pace. Or that he shouldn't have kicked it there. Last time I saw it was Thierry Henry in the World cup. He broke down the Italian team. What this player does when that player does this. You know, actually showed how much organisation goes into football at this level. Then you have some numpty next to him saying some team "wanted it more" Unless you're going to bring out a wantsitmostometer then stfu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In front of the camera they become charisma-less and frightened of talking in anything but soundbites. Make them pundits so we can listen to their boring and mindless pre and post-match commentary. Shearer even talks through stiff lips. x30 past all of it now, especially Channel 5 and MOTD. I find I see much more when the match commentary is off too.
