10 football pundits who don't deserve a job in 2007 [image: 4]<http://shinymedia.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/4.jpg>Honestly, the standard of football punditry is getting so bad that it almost makes us miss the unique vocabulary of Big Ron and the chinny musings of Jimmy Hill. Sky, ITV and the Beeb all seem to think that hiring ex-players to talk about football is a good idea. However, we all know that it clearly is a terrible idea with the honourable exception of pundits like Chris Shouty Kamara and Alan Hansen, most PTPs (player-turned-pundits) are execrable. We've compiled a list of the worst, which you can peruse after the click
*10 football pundits who don't deserve a job in 2007* *10 Gary Pallister* Seems to be constantly on the verge of sleep - perhaps the Football Focus sofa is really, really comfortable - and never says anything of interest, ever. *9 Lee Dixon* As irksome as a pundit as he was as a player - his voice is almost as dreary as Pallister's. Thinks he's more cultured than he is, probably because a reborn Tony Adams dragged him to the opera once. *8 Steve Claridge* Has potential, if only he engaged his brain before he opened his mouth. We suspect that he doesn't actually have a brain though, just a knotted string ball made out of prejudice and cliches. *7 George Graham* Grim-faced lover of negative football and a crook to boot. There are few more loathsome characters in football. Shit pundit too. *6 Glenn Hoddle* The creepiest man in football, by a mile. We hope he comes back in the next life as George Graham. *5 Garth Crooks* The second creepiest man in football. His Chris Eubank-esque attempts to appear articulate fool no-one. *4 Andy Townsend* Jesus, we can't stand his whiny voice and insistence on ending every sentence with the word 'Gabby'. How this large-conked idiot keeps hold of a high-profile pundit's job is a greater mystery than the Da Vinci Code. *3 Paul Merson* If Merse really has a degenerative brain disease, then we apologise for calling him the least articulate man in football. Can't even string two words together, let alone a full sentence. It's embarrassing to watch Merse stumble over words like 'cat' and 'the'. *2 Peter Reid* The undisputed master of talking unmitigated shit. You might as well hire a shaved monkey in a cheap suit. *1 Alan Shearer* At least when he was playing football, he was getting paid lots of money for doing something. Now he gets paid lots of money for doing nothing - if by 'nothing' you mean 'stating the bloody obvious'. Shearer doesn't talk quite as much shit as Reid and Merson, but he gets paid about 10 times what they do, so you have to expect so much more. A disgraceful waste of licence-payers' cash.
