Pundits out there.
Just saw headline about how is worried about chelsea and how liverpool and arsenal are city's only challengers.

But only after the 1st game of the season he said Chelsea would finish over Liverpool.

I mean he must change his tune after every couple of games and do wonder how come they have still not culled him like the rest of the dinosaurs. And amazes me how other pundits don't call him out over it.
Is Merson one of the worst

I find him weird when he repeats the same thing 2 times in a row.

He is unbelievably thick the bloke, nothing but cottage cheese between his lugs, and he’s a terrible pundit - can’t articulate himself very well, talks bollox. When Sky did the massive cull of all the middle aged white men to create a more ‘diverse’ platform they seemingly only kept Merson on out of pity as he’s skint and liable to fall back into the drink, coke and betting lifestyle should he lose his job.
The only sort I can’t stand more than Merson is little social media wannabes like Rory Jennings whose whole career is built on click bait and ludicrously ill informed hot takes, doesn’t have a solitary clue about the game, does no research, offers no actual insight, has no real world experience of being involved in football to talk from (which even Merson has) and yet he and others like him are given platforms in the mainstream media. Along with having to suffer clueless women pundits on literally every men’s game these days the footballing media base has gone right down the crapper in recent years.

Hi DJ why did you filter me? I never speak with you. Thanks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I shouldn’t let it bother you, he has me filtered too without any obvious reason. The only value he ever added here was when he ran the live football thread, now he doesn’t have that what loss is there to you or anyone else not having to interact with him? The man is a worthless maggot.

Oh it's no loss to me at all, as I said above, I never talk with him on anything. That's why I found it odd. I don't think I've even trolled anyone lately. Must be time of the month or summink

merson just says anything to get a reaction. that's his sole job on sky.
he must come cheap and get enough traffic to keep him on there

I'm amazed that of all the pundits Sky got rid of during their woke purge e.g. Le Tissier, Nicholas, Thompson they decided to keep him on. Bloke is utterly clueless.

He is a Chelsea fan who got hyped over the signings. Now he has had chance to watch a few games he has re-evaluated and made a more informed opinion.
Would say that makes him a good pundit. If he was a bad pundit he would still be saying Chelsea will finish top 4.

Exactly this

yep add that to chelseas unprecedented injuries then it's reasonable to expect a change of heart.

No violin required. Just realism.
