Thompson - boring ****e Crouch - funny in print, and on social media..show is **** Crooks - yawn Savage - **** Off
People take too much notice of Twitter, everyday the **** trending & 2 different sides of the argument, giving abuse to each other, thinking their comments will make a difference, when at some point, it’s just going to tip a loon over the edge to go murder a bunch of people for no other reason than they disagreed with someone. The media will of course have their say, & depending on who’s being murdered & who’s doing the murdering, then the media will spin it into whichever way makes the most noise on Twitter. Also, why would anyone think Dr Le Tissier knows anything anyway. Everyone’s got their view on everything, but not everyone wants to shout it from the rooftops.
Phil Thompson maybe has an irritating scouse voice to some But let’s look at his credentials to be a pundit Played under two of the three greatest managers in British history. Shankly and Paisley. Lifted the European cup for his home town club, captained england Marshalled the defence of Liverpool and England. coached at youth level to first team level at a top club before going into punditry. his replacement Micah Richards Potential at 18 washed up at what 24 Done **** all Since Laughs a lot Has no idea about tactics organisation of a defence How to stop a team playing. Yep I can see why
This thread is educational in a 'those that can, do' and those that can't 'teach'. kind of way. In a bit, I'll sort you all out into 'made the school team' versus 'asked if they were any good at Hockey'.
...... but not all opinions are valid - *think of how stupid the average person is, and then realise half of them are stupider than that! *thank you George Carlin - RIP
The intelligent thick are the worse thick of all.... Or is it the thickest thick of all ? I’m stupid so I have no ****ing idea..
I've left this up, but deleted on the previous stuff that breached the rules, if the answer also breaches the rules, it will also be deleted.
Though the principal of having pundits who've been good at what they're discussing is a perfectly reasonable one, I'd personally far rather listen to someone like Jon Parkin, than Phil Thompson. Nothing to do with his Scouse accent, I just don't think he was a very good pundit. Michael Owen won pretty much everything, at club level and at International level, even the Ballon d'Or, but he's the worst pundit that ever lived. That said, there's plenty I'd rather have seen sacked ahead of these three, Garth Crooks topping that list.
Add Carragher to that list (and McManaman to a lesser degree). What is the obsession with those scousers. And yes, let's be right, part but not all of it is their stupid annoying accents.
..or deliberately undermining public health messaging to the point it could encourage people to act in a dangerous way, and ultimately kill someone. (EDIT - I don’t know what he said either. I was just adding to the list, not saying that’s what he did) Of course he can say what he wants, that’s free speech, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t come without consequences when you’re contract is being looked at to be decided whether they want to give you a new one or not. Same in most jobs where what you say literally is your job (if he’d been working there as a camera operator I’d think it would be unreasonable to pay much attention to his views...but he wasn’t)
Without getting embroiled in the politics, both because it would get deleted and I wouldn't want to anyway, essentially there were two autopsies, one commissioned privately by his family and then one by the state coroner. Both show that he had various underlying health conditions, that he had taken drugs, but (and this is where it gets thorny) both essentially agree that he died due to asphyxiation. It's just the private one is explicit about this, whereas the state one is slightly more equivocal, though it categorically doesn't say that he wasn't asphyxiated, contrary to some very selective reporting by some parties. You can google and find screechy diatribes from both sides, but to me this one seems pretty fair: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...george-floyd-arent-as-different-as-they-seem/
