I don't like it when he is co-commentator, but his half time and post match analysis is second to none. Insightful, straightforward and without an agenda.
It's funny how I disliked him as a player but really like his insight. Although it is not hard to be one of the best when you consider his colleagues, he's still good at his current job.

City substitute Sergio Aguero scored the deciding goal but Manchester United manager Ferguson felt referee Mike Dean was wrong to allow James Milner's opener.
He insisted City striker Carlos Tevez was in an offside position and obstructing goalkeeper David de Gea's vision.

I think it makes sense, he never had great physical talent so to play at a top level he had to be all there mentally, a lot of defenders probably like that
same sense I think Phil Neville is good when he's on MOTD
MOTD is ####ing unwatchable. Would be a million times better if all they showed was the 15 minutes of actual footage they have without subjecting us to those overpaid bozos and their inane cliches.

you would think they take stock how almost always when there is a guest pundit the show gets rave reviews
Neville, Bilic, McCarthy, Redknapp etc.
Lawro especially is bad, how can you trust a man to talk about football when based on his weekly predictions QPR would be 7th in the league and Swansea 17th
Norwich had 3 points stolen today, Arsenal gifted them by a lineman who should never work in the football league again
I thought he did a fantastic job, would love to see him get a run of Arsenal matches down the stretch...

working in the premier league is out of the question... football league is where those who do that would usually be sent
he called a shirt tug from 50 yards away, which the ref who was 10 yards away decided not to call, a shirt tug that if it was called like that all the time would result in 5-10 penalties a game
If he was 50 yards away or 500 - it is immaterial. Blasting someone for making the wrong decision is one thing, castigating him for making the right decision because you didn't think he was in position to do so is bizarre.
