Didn't notice Peter Drury in the list...I like him...ITV had him but unsure if he's still with them...I would quite like Sky to poach him

So...re my Andy Gray question on his whereabouts now...? anyone

Does anyone like Robbie Savage?

I personally htink the BBC should sack him and get someone decent in that fans want to see.

Troubling fact about Savage...

When he's working with Ian Darke (who I rate BTW)...he refers to him as 'Darky'

now...i'm no racist...but surely that's a bit off

Owen is painfully boring and should be replaced, but there is one thing I find refreshing in his honesty about what players do in terms of winning fouls, falling over legs and many times hoping for a bit of a mis hit with a shot rather than claiming it's all about brilliance.

But he's so tediously boring he needs to go.

Don't know anyone that wants Savage on their tv. He's awful.

Not been too impressed with Henry either as yet. Just a bit bland. This despite the tv advert saying he's giving something back to the fans! Yeah? Have you got the receipt?

By far the most irritating is Alan Smith. How he makes a living as a commentator is beyond me.

Have to say, Gary Neville has raised the bar for pundits although I think Carragher works well with him.

I prefer Savage to Redknapp anyday of the week. Redknapp is absolutely shocking.

Redknapp is like those all inclusive cakes you get on holiday....brilliantly presented - look great...feck all to them

Redknapp should stick to being laughed at on a league of their own. He's quite good at being mocked.

Redknapp was ok when he first joined sky. You could understand he was the junior pundit.

He's still the junior pundit after all these years though. He's fücking boring. Needs to do something else.

Henry been about as bad a pundit as Kane has a striker for you lot

Great pundit and if he wasn't an arsenal player people would be kissing his ass

Neville is good but overrated, at least he had elocution lessons after his first season. Well he must of as he's more understandable, still hate the way he says arsenal

Assssssssnal

No mate it's ARSenal

Gary Neville is one of the best

I find Neville a touch too overrated. Good pundit but tends to lay into players he doesn't like e.g david Luis, ozil.

Carragher is not any different from Henry who doesn't say much to be honest.

I'm in the minority here but Townsend seems o say a lot of insightful things for me esp with regards to player management relationships.he just has beau darts once in a while.

Danny Mills and Michael Owen are the worst pundits hands down. Mills is always sucking on Jose Mourinho's ćock and Owen is just a lunatic.

I like Keown and Alan Smith for obvious reasons. Dixon is mint but that applies to most ex arsenal pros.

By the way if Martinez ever gets sacked by Everton and considered being a pundit full time he would easily get a job even at Sky. Great insight, great delivery.

He is too good a manager to not find work though.

He and Richard Keys are in the Middle East working for a broadcaster called BeIn Sports. I don't know everything they do, but they present Saturday and Sundays Premier League coverage. Keys still presents and Gray still has his trusty giant touch screen to mess about on.

They normally have a guest or two on the show, seen Gullit on it a few times. And Jason Macateer is a regular.

It is very much the same as a few years back when they were on Sky.

Glad I'm not the only one to have noticed that about Phil "I think" Neville.

Not a pundit very often but Robbie Fowler is a shocking one. Talks like he's been lobotomised. If you thought Paul Merson had two brain cells when talking, then Fowler has one.

townsend is terrible


townsend is so bad that even when he sees a slowed down replay, he still calls it wrong

Tyldesley isn't bad, it's just when he commentates over any match with Rooney playing and you can almost smell his freshly w ank-stained underwear coming through the TV.
