Chelsea v Real Madrid for me tomorrow night.

Which is nice.

Is there a thicker pundit than Rio Ferdinand?

    Rest Hendo at your peril. More leaks than Edā€™s roof

      Smallman1 I think Madrid will give Chelski a right kicking tonight, based on being outclassed by titans of the English Premier League, Brentford at the weekend.

        Smallman1 UKRAINIAN BLOOD ON OUR HANDS?! NO THANK YOU. GOOD DAY SIR!

        (not got any room left on my hands with all the Saudi blood apparently)

          Smallman1 Is there a thicker pundit than Rio Ferdinand?

          Jamie Redknapp.

          Jermaine Beckford whenever he occasionally gets trotted out as well.

          Martin Keown also gives Rio a run for his money.

              alistair if you had to play a drinking game where you did a shot every time Jermaine Jenas said ā€œlikeā€ then youā€™d be hammered in 2 minutes.

                  hugopal Yup. Throw Danny Murphy, Michael Owen and Jimmy Floyd in there too. I actually used to quite like Collymore. Yes, he was a nob but he was opinionated and interesting, hence he is out of a job.

                      Good result in the end last night. Start of the second half didnā€™t look too promising, they came flying out of the blocks. That boy nunez looks some player. Could do worse than look at him over the next season or two.

                      Canā€™t wait for sunday now! The reason you follow the beautiful game is for this stage of the season. It may well go absolutely tits up and city win 7 nil but itā€™s the hope that kills you!

                      Chop Souey is my favourite pundit.

                      And I like Roy Keane too.

                      Like me, theyā€™re both cut from granite.

                        That would be some midfield trio, the game would be won before a ball is kicked. Souness, keane and smallman.

                        Key difference, though, unlike Ed Smallman, Roy Keane didnā€™t have an absolute magic wand of a left peg.

                        Nor a headwand, come to think of it.

                            I actually think Michael Owen gets a lot of unfair stick and is one of the better pundits around.

                            His voice is dull enough to send most people to sleep, but his actual analysis is often legit unparalleled. I donā€™t recall hearing any other pundit being so precise when dissecting shooting technique and what players do well and not so well when presented with a scoring chance. He sounds like heā€™d make an excellent coach (not manager) as well if he could be bothered.
