Anyone else getting wound up by him telling us to "listen" all the time? He's not a bad pundit but I find it extremely patronizing. P'raps it's me age. And while I'm at it, Chris Waddle - either speak Geordie or get some elecution lessons. You've become the Lloyd Grossman of punditry! Rant over  |

The "listen" and "look" things really bug me.
If you listen (no pun intended!) to the Aussie cricketers they are the worst for it but I've noticed how it's crept into our lad's post match interviews as well.
I share your anger!

Look, I don't like either of these two pundits very much.
Neither seem to have much time for Stoke City and both sound like they have had a humour bi-pass.

I just think he's a crap pundit. He states the obvious and his opinions, in general, are horseshit.

They also suffer from selective vision, any chance to knock Stoke and they're there. A pair of narrow minded toss pots, just imagine those two with Garth Crooks! |

When he commentates on a match he phrases every remark as a question doesn't he ?. Annoying isn't it ? I wish he would stop doing it don't you ?

I've mellowed a bit re Keown (only a bit) but Waddle is really awful.

Paul Collingwood was the worst for that. Literally every answer was prefaced with "look" or "listen". A big fan of the Green Cross Code, clearly. But you're right, Jamo, Aussies are amazing for it. It's endemic over there. Christ knows how it's started, but it's really weird. And once you've noticed it, you can't un-notice it. |

I noticed somebody else doing it the other day. Might've been Townsend or somebody like that.
Really irritating.

Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke are unreal at it but Andrew Strauss appears to have caught the bug as well. |

While we're on the subject, anybody else noticed some of these obviously prepped media muppets, that start every answer to any question posed, with; "So........".
It's obviously an affectation, to give the prats a moment to think what the hell to say.
Heard one interviewer on 5live, might have been Peter Allan, who just kept asking direct open
ended questions until the "so" became progressively "errr", "umm" "well"........laughed me tits off at the prat.......
So there you have it.........D'oh!!

Yes the "Listen" thing with Keown is really irritating and he is crap as he doesn't even do his homework, a couple of months ago he said Walters hasn't played for Stoke much lately! Really? also in the "Listen" club are Townsend, Southgate and Keane.

What really pisses me off about Keown is his hypocrisy. He was one of the dirtiest, most cynical players ever to disgrace the English leagues yet he revels in highlighting instances of foul play.
He's also the only player to look more like an ape than Gareth Bale.

I would agree with this but I can't bring myself to say anything negative about Keown after he stated he found Swansea boring to watch sometimes. He's the only pundit to not join in the mass media jizz-fest over Swansea so fair play to him!

Sorry for being a bit of a technophobe but is it possible to put that Planet of the Apes thing somewhere on t'internet they might see it - on Twitter (whatever that is) or something. I think it's a pisser

It's better than Gary Neville's "You talk about..."
Other bloke: "Rio Ferdinand was in fine form today"
Neville: "You talk about defending..."

Martin Keown was a brute of a centre half and although he criticises us I think deep down he would have relished playing in a TP coached defence.
