The best football 'pundit'?

[VeritasVincit]

Dare I throw Jacqui Oatley into the mix ?

[Arty Morty]

Neil Barnett is very good. Knowledgeable and generally unbiased.

Agreed, you a Chelsea boy Arty I didn't know. If we're talking about the same Barnett that is?

No, I'm not Chelsea but I know he is and I still think he's good! I listen to him here in the US on Sirius XM. I could also add Ray Hudson as another excellent pundit, who is coincidentally on with Neil right now.

How could I forget dear old Alan ‘Smudger’ Smith.

Underrated as a player. Does get over excited or too critical on co-commentary either. Just keeps the viewer well informed with what’s going on.

Can I add good old Tim Vickery? His rousing endorsement of the great Pele this lunchtime on Sky Sports was a fantastic counter to Mr Heenan's long vendetta against the big man.

But did Mr Heenan get a right to reply?

[antdad]

Smug cnut, what cos he can speak other languages?

Vickery is well beyond being called a pundit imo, more proper old style footie/sports journo.

No, mainly because he sounds like a smug cunt

[antdad]

He started from very humble beginnings for someone so smug.

Not Pat Nevin. I'm sure I don't know the name of the good ones because they don't give it 'the big 'un'. Usually the understated ones are good.

He's standing outside stadia right now giving out leaflets saying what a debauched fraud he is.

I used to like Tony Gale but haven't seen or heard of him in a while, I'm assuming he's one of the old guard that Sky sacked off.

[kevin04]

I think Tony Gale does Singapore or Indian TV?

Ian McCall is very entertaining on Radio Scotland, and often makes decent points. To my surprise, I quite like Craig Levein too - not a fan of his coaching and can be a bit prickly ; but he gives opinion and often it'll differ from others, but its not done for pantomime unlike some e.g Robbie Savage.

I was watching a Bundesliga game on Sunday and it had Stefan Freund as the co-commentator man. His English is perfectly fine, and good even. Just has a funny way of saying things - a bit like I probably would if I was anywhere near as good in German as he is in English. A decent game Stuttgart 2 - 2 Hertha and him chipping away with some droll, very Teutonic remarks helped make the game just as entertaining to listen as was to watch.
