Great footballer, passionate about his country yes... TV football analyst? Sorry, NO! He always talks tripe (then again most do) but last night he exceeded even himself by advocating and indeed encouraging England players to dive around at the World Cup 'because everyone else will do it so so should we'. Surely he's got to be chucked by the Beeb after that.
I did like it when he said... that Owen Hargreaves must know something about Sven's private life to be continually selected for international football. Superb. He's a muppet though.
Its better when there are guys on the tele that dunt care what they say.........remember Jimmy Hill and Motty........what a couple of ***** !!! Jimmy Hill always raving on about how good the opposing players are And Motty, all these useless facts......when I'm watching football I dunt want to here about things such as a players mothers friend who got her finger stuck in a car door last year about this time..........so what !!!! With Wright you've got England passion and he's not bothered who hears it Wrights all right
RE: Its better when there are guys on the tele that dunt care what they say.........remember Couldn't you argue though that someone of his standing in football and on the BBC is bringing the game into disrepute with comments like that?
Ian Wright is funny Always says something amusing. Cant stand Ally Mcoist, Mark Lawrencen or Alan Hansen. Best pundit is Andy Townsend.
Yes he is I think he's a great character and in terms of saying what you really think, I'm very similar! But he shouldn't be doing that job after comments like that IMHO.
Get shut of thatched roof head as well did you hear him last night when asked "So Mark which of England World Cup songs is your favourite?" to which he replied "I'm not fussed on any" or something along those lines,IF YOU AIN'T BOTHERED BUGGER OFF Met him at Preston a few years back just before we set Steve Parkin on,he is as bigger tw@t in real life as he is on telly Hansen is best and he's bleedin Scottish!!!
Top bloke, top player and top pundit. Cuts it fine with his comments sometimes, but at least he's honest. And yes, if Gerrard is in the same situation in the World Cup, he should dive. Every other team will plan to, and it's about time we won the thing, rather than complaining about Maradona's hand ball etc...
Andy Townsend? Really? Him and McCoist are prats of the highest order. "I'll tell you what though Ally..." "I'll tell you what though, Andy..." Barely string a sentence together.
