Manchester City v Newcastle

Carragher sounds like air being let out of a balloon.

What West Brom clip?

Dempsey

Are you allowed to say "crap" on Sky Sports?

Carragher is awful, Hilarious though hahaha

"bacckkkkkkk"

Carragher is a terrible pundit. Inarticulate, nervous, rambles, no polish at all.

Eugh.

It's fairly vacuous to criticise a commentator because of his accent.

Aw come on - it's his first week! Giles has been doing this for over 30 years. Give Carragher a few weeks and let him settle in, he's obviously very nervous as he's tripping over himself half way through his sentences and not completing his thoughts. He'll be fine in a few weeks.

My biggest problem is Neville looks inhibited. They should move Carragher to the Saturday Night programme or the Jeff Stelling Saturday afternoon show - God knows he's already much better than that clown Merson.

I'm pretty sure Pellegrini is just John Giles after a lot of plastic surgery.

Mute the TV and it looks like Carragher is having a rave.

Tbf he is the proverbial virgin. Surprised as he's normally much more composed but as you say he's not even completing his train of thought.
Neville not doing him any favours either though.

I think Neville is trying not cut across him and make him look worse. Neville was nervous his first few weeks too. Carragher looks to be a real coup for Sky Sports, as long as he's allowed to continue to call players crap when he thinks!

Pardew will blame the Cabaye bid for our spectacular failings today. Predictable.

There you go. Jesus wept.

Pardew: "We don't have too much to be concerned about tonight"

*bangs head off desk*

Imagine Fergie or Wenger defending Taylor there,I know it's indefensible but he coulda lifted the ref out of it instead.

So it's basically Arsenal's fault that Newcastle lost tonight, according to Pardew.

What actually stopped him playing tonight? A bid on the day of a match that Newcastle will probably throw out. I can see why he's pissed about that. You know that policy wasnt his choice.

He had a ready made excuse in Cabaye tonight. Sick of it now.

Sigh.

Poor arsenal. Don't buy we get slated. Try and buy by bidding for a player we get the blame for them losing.

Ah he's not at all. Neville was no better/worse when he started, he admits as much himself. Once he gets used to the role he'll be very good.

Not sure I like the idea of having the two of them on at the same time though as they both seem to think alike, so have a tendency to just repeat what the other said.

Carragher has played against every player and every team in the world it would seem!

He's just nervous.

It really is amazing just how many people are lining up to slag off a guy who's only been in the job one week!

baboo800

Newcastle were dreadful tonight and I can't really see them staying up if they continue to play like they did

I wasn't slagging him. I just find him difficult to listen to. He needs to learn to slow down when talking but he should be ok when he settles into his new environment. Wouldn't say he's that used to so much air time.

His accent does my head in, knows his football but its painful to listen too
