Pundits talking nonsence

But you have forgotten to give the teams who now got points from Man U the points that you have taken from united and so I believe your computations are flawed.

The position doesn't matter. The point is, utd would have dropped more points than Liverpool if their two top scorers were out.

and the silence from the united fans is deafening...

Gray and Rednapp are unbelievably bad analysts. I take the point that on a general level most pundits talk crap. But it doesn't and shouldn't have to be that way. How is it that Guim Ballique (sp - the Spanish soccer analyst on Sky) can be so competent at his job whereas the rest are generally under prepared and / or inarticulate?

Was it not Dunphy? (he definately said the same thing about Torres & Gerrard)

Can't the pundits just be ignored? If I'm at home I might listen to them to have a laugh at the rubbish that they will no doubt come out with. If I'm in the pub I will take the opportunity to go to the bar/bathroom/smoking area.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that the football broadcasters have to appeal to the most people which basically means the lowest common denominator. Most people who have the capability to construct a meaningful post on an Internet forum are above that and so can easily see that Eamonn Dunphy is in fact a very grumpy old man who's ramblings should not be taken seriously, Jamie Redknapp has nothing interesting to say and Ian Wright is just wrong.

I can't believe this is still running. I find football ridiculous in general but this discussion ranks highly even by those standards.

I don't think Redknapp and Andy Gary are Man Utd fans or post here

Or maybe you are dying for an argument that isn't there?

If your going to take the top two scorers out of the each of the top 4 teams, then you have to do that with the rest of the league as well. Chances are they are still going to be in the top four places, so all this dropping down to 8th and 11th places means nothing.

an argument is way too much effort for this time but it's a point i have made before that there are a number of fans (not just united fans) on this forum who talk the talk but when a some stats are shown against them they tend to disappear.

so more an observation...

btw i am pretty sure Andy Grey loves united, he never shuts up about them.

This thread has run it's useful course.

It amazes me that something that has so little to do with any team in particular can descend so quickly into a my team your team thing.
