    As pundits they are far better than anything bt have just now. Neville especially is my favourite pundit just now, find myself agreeing with almost everything he says.

    So because everyone else loves them it means you can't? :rolleyes:

    They are the best pundits on TV by mile. They talk so much sense while having a laugh doing it.

    Fashionable? The two of them puss all over any pundit BT has, and I don't even think Carragher is great.

    How is it fashionable to enjoy listening to the best pundit in the UK. He knows the game better than any other pundit in the UK and puts it across brilliantly to the viewer and gives a good insight into tactical and positioning analysis.

    If you can name a better pundit from BT, i will be amazed

    I like how BT get non-players in as pundits. Can be really cringeworthy watching barely-literate former footballers prattle on, talk themselves into a corner and use every cliche imaginable. Better to get other perspectives.

    People like Souness, but I think he's awful for it. Glenn Hoddle as well.

    I can't stand either of those * to be fair. Much prefer Neville and Carragher as pundits.

    I like Gary Neville, not so much Carragher. Remember he once spent about three and a half minutes saying "I think it was funny" over and over again about a player getting hit in the face with a ball.

    I like they guys on BT as well, the wee team of 4 that usually work with Richardson at the Sunday football - they also do that goals show on BT on the 3rd channel during the Champions League.

    I think BT * up getting English "experts" like Gerrard, Owen, Hoddell, Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand to front the Champions League stuff. They should have let that Richardson and those guys(one is french and one is german and forget the others) do it, they are all far better to listen to than even the guys on Sky and more knowledgeable about European football and different League and players.

    I think Burley is decent on it too, even though he is (and comes across as) an *.

    England only 3.6 points ahead of Italy now. Next season England will lose 3.9 points on Italy though so as it currently stands when next season kicks off Italy will be above England before a ball is kicked so they only need to match England for points from now on to take the CL place off them for the 2018/19 season.

    Can't decide on which game to watch tonight. Arsenal match will probably be quite * unless they score an early goal.

    Chelsea game will be pish because it's Chelsea.

    BATE v Barca has the potential to be interesting but although BATE are on a high in Europe and at home, Barca are much better quality than Roma.

    I don't think Bayern know how to play for a draw, and given the pace Arsenal have at their disposal they'll be hoping to go hard on counter attacks. Also given the talent on show from both sides, it'd be hard to tune into any other game.

    No brainer for me.
