What about Jamie Redknapp’s constant references to Frank Lampard?
There was a game live on Sky last season which did not involve Chelsea….He took 13 seconds to Mention ‘cousin Frank’. I kid you not.

Over the last two seasons it seems like Jamie Redknapp has had lessons in drama speaking.

He seems to be very enthusiastic in what ever he says

1. Alan Shearer. “Great cross, great header, great goal”. Well thanks, Alan, that’s great. What insight…

Well Luke, David Platt speaks with an attitude that he knows so much better than managers, yet he was a total disaster as a manager himself.

As for John Salako, a little like Paul Merson, he struggles to put a coherent sentence together. At least Merse is funny, Salako hasn’t even got that!

I think Jonathon Pearce has got a lot better over the years. He used to be very excitable but he’s calmer now.

I think Pearce is a great commentator – even on MOTD where only a few minutes of highlights are shown he is able to flavour telling you what is happening with a bit of background. He seems to have a real knowledge of what every club and the mindset of the fans which just makes listening to him that much more appealing – I would learn more from one of his solo commentaries than Motson and Lawro combined.

Anyway onto pundits, two I don’t like…

1. Garth Crooks – must be so hard to work with, no wonder Peacock went off to become a priest, he must have had some patience to put up with him!

2. Alan Shearer – he has improved ever so slightly this season but he is so cliche-ridden and doesn’t tell you anything you can’t figure out yourself by just watching.

And two I love…

1. Lee Dixon – I think he’d make a far better manager than Tony Adams because not only doesn’t he take himself so seriously but he also has an amazing tactical knowledge. You can also tell that, while Hansen costs on his reputation, Dixon has worked really hard to get so good, so fast and must spend a lot of time studying footage before MOTD2.

2. Stan Collymore – I don’t think his tactical knowledge is as good as Dixon’s but he is another who puts in a lot of research and unlike 95% of sports radio shows he knows his Football League stuff which means he actually allows fans from outside of the Big Four/Newcastle/Tottenham on air so that they feel catered for. He is also pretty entertaining too and is good at ridiculing people who make stupid points.
