Blah Blah Blah

Well we are into the 2nd week of the World Cup series championship(sponsored by Vodaweiser) or whatever its called and to be honest the football has been decent. Apart from England. Though that is no suprprise. Is it?
Anyway, there has been one thing that has really got on my goat. The bloody know nothing, smug presenters and pundits. You know the ones, the guy (and girls) who go on a jolly up for 4 weeks at our expense to give us their "expert" views on the matches we are watching.
The BBC has wheeled out the usuals, Lineker, Hansen, Lawrenson, O'Neill, Wright, each one with as little to say as each other, but with a lovely line in dodgy jokes (Ol Big ears dig at Poland invading Germany being a particular fave of mine.) Though to be honest, O'Neil gave me the biggest laugh so far, when in mid flow, he just stopped having totally lost what he was saying. He was floundering around for about 30 secs, before finally giving up the ghost. And don't start me on Wright and Crookes, they could have a blog on their own. As for Motson and Pearce, don't think I need to say anything else on those two.
As for ITV, well they have really pulled out the stops. Poaching Steve Rider from BBC seems to have made him even more pompous as he was before, and it has proven that, despite having a footballer dad, Gabby doesn't actually know much about the game. El Tel seems to be turning more and more golden by the day, and that includes his hair, and as for the insightful views of Gareth Southgate and Stuart Pearce, well I am glad I am aint a blue or a smoggie. Big Sam hasn't been too bad to be honest, though you know he is itching to get out there and tell John Terry to get the ball up to Crouch at every opportunity. Then again, did you see how tight his trousers were during one of the England games (I didn't to be honest, I saw it mentioned on another site.)
Though ITV excelled themselves during the OZ v Brazil game, when they brought on Shane Warne for his expert views. SHANE WARNE for Gods sake, who next, Alf Stewart (Kewell you bloody galah!!!), Lou Carpenter and Harold Bishop, Kylie, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo? I mean come on....
It just makes me pine for the days of Big Ron, I say bring him back now!!
