Seeing as the Soccer Saturday thread has been canned, thought I’d start a new one regarding people’s thoughts on punditry, commentating etc. Who are the best/worst at the moment and for the hell of it, all time?

Matt Murray certainly the worst. Given a job after his knee injury must have caused him financial hardship. Pinching a living. I feel sorry for anyone with eloquence and knowledge who has worked hard having been passed over to employ someone from the old boy network.

Yeh he’s one of the worst, just doesn’t seem to have any charisma or spark.

Who’s the main one on BT Sports Champions League commentary? I still like Alan Parry and Ian Darke

Commentators: Peter Drury; Guy Mowbray; Connor McNamara Pundits: Neville & Carragher; Liam Rosenoir; Michah Richards Journo Pundits (Jundits): Raphael Honigstein; Sam Wallace; Sid Lowe Neville and Carragher - Neville can hold his own without Carragher but not the other way around. Great together though. Liam Rosenior - very impressive, knowledgeable, easy to understand. A real stand out last season. Micah Richards - seemed really uncomfortable when he first came into the scene but has really grown into the role well. And has decent banter too.

Not footy, but Richie Benaud was the master of saying everything by saying absolutely nothing.
I feel it’s something people like Fletcher could learn a lot from, not every second on air has to be filled, and not every goal has to be the most dramatic thing on Earth.

Of the new wave I like Danny Higginbotham and Dean Ashton. Perhaps not popular opinion but to my liking.
I really despise Prutton. I don’t even watch Stoke build up if it’s him.

I don’t think any Stoke supporter could abide Prutton. Now I may be mistaken but I’m sure I saw a comparison on his EFL predictions the other week where if all his predictions had turned out correct then Stoke would have finished bottom. He clearly isn’t a fan and the feelings mutual

Andy Townsend is the worst I've ever seen H Dean Windass was reporting on games for Sky on soccer Saturday he was shocking to i think they fucked him off after a season not seen him since

Higginbotham apart from the Stoke connection is as mundane and dreary as you can get. I think he’s good, always makes sense and is a likeable guy in my opinion. He doesn’t dodge questions and says what he thinks (he’s a bit of a poor-man’s Gary Neville for me)

Must admit this’ll be divisive but I took great pleasure in listening to Mad Mick McCarthy in the play off semis then he wasn’t there for the final. Gutted!

I can't stand Ron Atkinson. I've given up watching football on TV in case I accidentally hear him and refuse to watch it until he's given the boot.
And Archie Macpherson, the useless biased scotch twat. He should be banished from all TV and go and work for Ladbrokes or someone
