Pity more aren't going with him. There are some very good football journalists out there, but few seem to find their way to the BBC sofa.

He's a fantastic man compared to Lawrenson.

I actually prefer him over Shearer as well.

Sad but true.

The kicker is that, as Bruce says, there are plenty of good pundits out there. The Beeb just seem far happier paying more to get less -- but it's okay, it's not like the public fund them or anything.

they get people who they THINK can deliver lines well, look good and are popular with the public

nowt to do with football knowledge

hansen is like a wind up toy with about 4 different lines depending on the situation, shearer is even worse

I'm pretty sure it's strategy from the BBC to pander to the gormless masses mate and keep the viewing figures up. Colin in Chesterfield tuning in, in his full Crown Paints kit and shinnies.

The f*cking hanks.
