Andy Naylor savaged after game

[nicko31]

On odd occasions he has a point. Today I thought he might have more important games for him to observe and comment on.

Savage's analysis is often quite good, but the problem he is letting his ego get in the way of sensible judgement. Clearly did little research and made to look a fool by Naylor...

I'd rather listen to Vince Savage from Grange Hill's opinions on football than Robbie Savage's. He was a shit footballer and an even worse pundit, not least because he thinks he is good.

I can't wait for the day that ALL analysis is dispensed with. I have no interest in what ex-players and managers have to say about games or formations. It ranges from them describing what they've just seen to using on-screen graphics to describe what's happened. They are completely superfluous to events and I cannot remember when their input has had ANY impact on my enjoyment of a game. These people must go home at night and think 'what has happened to my life?'

Absolutely this.

The answer is simple - Guardian's Football Weekly Podcast. People who were not in the game are proved to be invariably more interesting and less blinkered than ex professionals. As soon as the viewing public realise that hearing ex-professionals churn out the same old crap - 'he'll have wanted to hit that one', 'they'll pick themselves up and dust themselves off' etc etc etc - we might actually get decent football comment again.

Savage is benefitting from the law of averages and nothing less - every now and then a team who rests players will lose, and every now and then they will win. It's almost as if football is not a precise art!
