Dunphy - "These aren't great players Liam... John do you think Paulinho is a great player?"

Giles - "I don't even think he's a good player"

I laughed.

This could be a golden year for drivel. A rubbish England team + Ian Wright = Comedy gold.

Was mystified by Rio Ferdinand last night in the Maracana

I am mystified by how Ferdinand got the gig. Spent most of last night standing there with a Dougal-esque expression on his face then came out with 'I am so excited being here that I am going to go home and.....eh hang out with my mates.'

Was a great one yesterday where the commentator on the English station spent a minute or two explaining why Jackson Martinez couldn't get into the starting line up for Ecuador. The real reason is because he plays for Colombia.

That was Clark Carlisle.

Wouldn't mind so much, but the bloke is intelligent. He's even appeared on Countdown and Question Time, and was chairman of the PFA for a period.

love to see someone putting it up to Dunphy, but Kenny picked the wrong argument there.

Fellaini is garbage!

He isn't a midfielder, useless in that position - he is however a very effective target man upfront like Kenny was saying

Not true. He had a bad time of it last season (as most Man Utd players did) but he had shown for years at Everton that he was a very good CM. Just because he excelled as a second striker at Everton in his final season (they played him there because they needed a goalscorer), people seem to forget how good he was in CM for years before that. It's like that part of his career doesn't exist anymore.

Saddle's would be a great pundit if he had Kenny's metallic determination in the face of Eamo's Dunphy'isms.

Strongbow10

Love the way Dunphy had to bring up what John Giles said about Fellaini as if to validate the opinion.

It would have been gas if Kenny told Eamo that Gilsey was talking out of his behind :pac:

fuzzydunlop85

Lol shambolic from rte

Dunphy shouldn't be on before the watershed, what a man.
