I can't think of another Spurs pundit outside of Lineker. Maybe Jenas?

I think we can all agree that Piers Morgan is an odious prick. If it came down to a choice between eliminating one Arsenal fan; Piers Morgan or Osama Bin Laden, I’d have to think about it.

He is t even a sports writer.

Well, that doesn’t put you in a very good position to comment on media coverage in the UK, if that is all you have to come up with.

Gary Lineker is pretty much the face of football coverage on Terrestrial television. The BBC are the only terrestrial outlet with any coverage of the EPL in the UK.

Gary Neville is pretty much the face of Satellite/Cable/Subscription tv in the UK.

On reflection, maybe the pundit bias is for Garys.

As for printed media, they’re scrotes to everybody

I hope it's not too little too late for Liverpool. They've played some great football as of late.

That 3rd goal by Alexander-Arnold was a thing of beauty.

Liverpool have turned on the jets and have finally strung some consistently good performances together. They should’ve beaten Arsenal - and now with hindsight as the point wasn’t good enough for Arsenal - I wish they did.

If United don’t watch out, they’ll get pipped at the post.

Crouch is sometimes on bbc, but he mostly does this own podcast and outside stuff

Lineker is much more leicester than spurs, as well. Jenas to me is the only one who outright is spurs

There aren’t three outlets for football in England - BBC, BT and Sky and to a far lesser degree, ITV. So there aren’t many pundits out there full stop.

BT commentary team and pundits (includes rugby): https://www.bt.com/sport/watch/our-team/commentators
BBC commentary team and pundits (includes Garth ‘I fukkin hate Arsenal’ Crooks) : https://www.tvnewsroom.co.uk/bbc-spo...tators-106132/
Sky commentary team and pundits: https://www.tvnewsroom.co.uk/sky-spo...undits-105736/

Could they picked a worse picture for Joleon Wescott?

You’ve seen Jolson Wescott before, right? That’s not a bad picture of him.

It’s probably his Tinder profile pic.

The way Klopp has re-engaged and positioned TAA is masterful.

If you a had a gun with 2 bullets and were stuck in a room with Piers Morgan and Osama Bin Laden would you shoot Piers Morgan twice?

8 months ban for Ivan Toney.

I only know of this because of Twitter, but in the League One promotion playoffs Sheffield Wednesday just overturned a 4-0 first leg deficit, tying it in the 98th minute. Promotion playoffs always seem to deliver the drama.

Seems ironic since half the teams in the league have betting apps as jersey sponsors?

Tied it at the death, then went down one on an own goal in extra time. Tied it up.
Went to penalties. Won it in penalties.
My g'rlfriend's mom's family are Wednesdayites. I hope they have international texting on their mobile plans, cause my phone was going nuts all through this game. BBC calls it " the greatest play-off comeback in English Football League history"

It’s also interesting that they’ve taken this stand for gambling, and yet a team has played a praise the entire season, and it’s just crickets.

I would say that Lineker is 100% Leicester

Ashton Villa has the biggest floppers. At least Liverpool got a point.
