Default Who are the best Football pundits

My personal favourites are

1: Alan "You'll never win a thing with kids" Hansen.

2: Ian Wright - Pundits like he played

3: Martin O'Neill - World Cup / Euro

4: Andy "Food and Drink" Gray

Once Strachan retires he should get his own footy show, it'd make for some good lively debate.

Straight up I like his punditry, yeah he's a **** but a funny ****, I like his enthusiasm, unlike so many other pundits with their lack of it, a lot are just plain negative, maybe they're told to be !!

but he never makes one insightful comment or offers anything that makes you look at the game any differently. Hansen will point out an error in the defending and you look at it and appreciate the play a bit more. Wright just jumps around like a demented animal. I cant stand him. Then to make it even worse he is always turning round to look at an empty pitch at the end when he's talking. why?

the best bloke is the fella they have on talk sport and sometimes on Bravo I think. fat fella knows a load about european football. will try find his name

Forgot him, I heard co commentating the other week and he had to be the most knowledgeable unbiased co commentator I've heard in a while, certainly not a pervy Pleat or a boring Trevor Francis he has to be my least favourite, the miserable so and so !

Andy Gray for me, it just isnt football without him! BBC/ITV matches are so boring in comparison!

I used to like Andy Gray in the early sky sports days but these days hes grown too big for his own boots. He just spouts crap all the time - he says oh x was a yard offside and then u see the replay and no comment to say oops sh*t I might have actually be wrong.

I like Jamie Redknapp these days. Richard Keys is far more objective and honest than Gray.

What about James Richardson from Football Italia - always liked that guy.

Martin O neal has already been mentioned. But Graham Taylor is worth a mention, not particularly charismatic but very knows the game. I slo think the old Blackburn manager was pretty good.....Roy something.

Who is best pundit-Anybody who replied to this thread before me, everyone down my pub, all my work mates, everybody a ever sat and watched a game with, my wife, have a missed anybody

Who not to be a pundit, ex players, refs and managers- just cause they aint read Tony Blair pension plans and planned for the future why should we listen to them, and especially if they just been sacked by there last club- G Souness for example who gave a extrodinary bit of coaching to stop Henri of the Gunners, the right back should watch him, go with him at all times, why did Newcastle right back never do that when he was a manager.
