    Best Pundits:
    Gary Neville- Unbiased he has really surprised me since he became a pundit
    Didi Hamann was good on Super Sunday yesterday
    Jamie Carragher- Good banter with Neville on MNF

    Best Commentators:
    Ian Crocker- Brilliant commentator love his emotion and his 'stuff of legends' comment when Watt scored was brilliant
    Derek Rae- Very good commentator, he had good knowledge of the game and seems to enjoy his job
    Martin Tyler- this man is Sky Sports some memorable moments such as the Aguero goal and Chelsea's CL win have been more special by him

    Worst Pundits
    Jamie Redknapp- no words can describe how bad he is such a tool
    Paul Merson- just pure stupid some of the stuff he says on Soccer Saturday
    Ray Wilkins- Chelsea lover nothing but praise for Terry and co when he's on the box

    Worst commentators:
    Sam Matterface- I did nothing but cringe when he covered the West Ham FA Cup game for ITV, no idea how he pulled that SSN fittie

    Jonathan Pearce- Tries too hard with the foreign names and he is another Man United lover within the media a bit like:

    Clive Tydelsley- Same as Pearce

    Honourable mentions too Neil McCann and Roy Keane who I think are top pundits

    Andy Townsend is worst commentator in the business.

    Davie Provan isnt great either.

    I love Ian Crocker, he claims to be a just a fan of the Scottish game in general but you can * tell he likes us the best ha

    Clive Tydelsly is a embarrassing as a commentator. References '66 at every opportunity even when it's not relevant. Total *.

    Hated Richard Keys as well. Guy was Andy Gray's * really and used to take his * on the Last Word after Super Sunday. They were a pair of twats together though.

    Favourite moment was Keane's death stare at Southgate on ITV :smiley-laughing002: sums him up really.

    Oh! And Robbie * Savage. Mediocre at best and thinks he's way more important and listened to than he actually is. Plus he's a closet Hun.

    There is a whole host in the hate category for me here.

    Mark Lawrenson - Thinks England are the greatest team on the planet, and is an arrogant *.

    Andy Townsend - Celebrated a Chelsea goal against Napoli in the CL, meant to be impartial :rolleyes:

    Clark Carlisle - Talks utter nonsense

    Michael Owen - See above

    Gary Mcallister - Hun *

    I've probably missed out plenty.

    Edit: Forgot all about the *'s *, Alan Hansen.

    Best: Gary Neville - really puts a lot of effort into his analysis and is genuinely interesting n know's what he's talking about.

    Worst: Craig Burley - negative, stupid and awkward to listen to.

    Mark Lawrenson, Alan Hansen, Robbie Savage and Alan Shearer are all tubes.

    Robbie Savage. * player, * pundit and just an overall *. Talks as if he knows everything though. He is wrong about 99% of the time and the 1% of times he maybe does get something correct is mainly down to luck.

    Also would add Nial Quinn and Michael Owen. I like both of them and they seem the like decent guys but they talk a pile of * and love the sound of their own voice. Half the time it sounds like they are just saying random words just to keep talking.

    Most commentators would do the same with a club from their country in Europe. Think Gary Neville with Torres v Barca and Andy Gray with Gerrard v Olympiakos

    If he is going to shout, and I quote "Yes, get in there", then he would be better off going to the game as a fan instead of being a commentator in my opinion. The fact he is an utter * was also a reason why I put him on the list, but only used my other example as to why I dislike him.
