What an absolute helmet. Barely coherent gibberish, sounding like a pub bore holding court after a gallon of wife beater, legs akimbo, delivered con gusto at a volume akin to a nuclear explosion. I would rather listen to audio descriptive mime than put up with his analysis (emphasis on 'anal') for another show.

his reason was everyone would on a train or a bus would be giving him absolute pelters... maybe he could try to stop being such a d*ckhead and he wouldn't have that problem?

We're getting there, but we're not there yet. They're slowly realising that what football fans want is intelligent, insightful analysis from people who know what they're talking about. Look at the vast increase in viewing numbers of Monday Night Football between 7 and 8, before the match has even started, and the debate and converge that's generated as a result. People tune in to see what Carragher and Neville have to say, because they're good.

The other channels are incredibly slow to pick up on this. They still think either having an ex-footballer on to simpply repeat what you've just seen back to you is valuable - Le Saux used to be the worst for this but Michael owen, Martin Keown and others do it now. "And you can see there he's accelerated past him on the right flank, he's delivered a good cross, to the back post, and Peter Crouch has always liked to arrive late onto balls like that and he's done so again there and headed it into the net and that's a goal."

Or, alternatively, they think the viewer wants to be provoked. Loud, controversial opinions. This works for TalkSport, because their business model is about maintaining the attention of flat bed truck drivers and getting them to ring in, so they can continue running adverts for flat bed trucks. It's amazing the amount of airtime Savage gets. he provides zero insight, he's just there to win you up.

Football fans don't want to be wound up, they want to be informed. It's only Sky that gets this currently.

Clive's comments are spot on, the 'proper' analysis by Gary Neville is always worth listening to. But in highlights programmes like Match of the Day I would much rather see more of the games than listen to idiots like Savage spouting clichés and nonsense,

It is not just football, it is the wider media, these things go in cycles. After years of dour broadcasting in the early years of television.....largely because the BBC wasn't ratings driven......ITV realised that to get a large share of the viewers you play to the lowest level of intellect, thus driving advertising revenues. Light heated TV, Shock TV, Soaps, makeovers and ultimately so-called 'Reality TV' are the results. No problem in small doses, but we're getting an overload. Then there's sport, despite what you may think, it's cheap, risk free, TV because you don't have to create it, you just turn up with a camera and some gobshites with mics.

What's happened in a multi channel, internet age is that the market has become fragmented and I suspect that some people may be waking up to the idea that chasing the same old mass-market formulas may be more risky than going for a niche higher quality audience with less competition. But are the broadcasters realising too late? Have they lost the more cerebral viewer to the internet already?

I also wonder if TV football has reached its peak? I know it hasn't happened here yet, but computer gaming is becoming a massive spectator sport around the world (Amazon knew what they were doing when they bought Twitch) whilst the average age of football fans is probably increasing (?).

Agree with Clive re intelligent and informed anaylsis. I enjoy Neville and Carragher, too.

If any of the big channels are clued up they'll try and poach Richie Sadlier from Irish TV and radio. Well-researched, rational and articulate. Immensely likeable.

Very true Clive.

I realise BCC have restrictions on amount of highlights minutage they can show, but that's not really an excuse for showing another 3 more replays of goals that have we've seen 5 times in the highlights edit.

Analysis should inform as you say and allow pundits to talk about aspects of the game not seen/covered in the highlights edit or live match coverage.

sadlier is indeed excellent. Not a huge fan of kenny cunningham.

On commentary I think Trevor Steven is by far the most insightful pundit I have heard although he seems to have dissappeared from RTE for some reason and replaced by houghton who is ok but nowhere near as good as Steven IMHO.

The thing Savage does that winds me up the most is changing his opinion of a decision during a replay decrying the referee wrong when Savage himself was in error on first view mere seconds prior

I turn the radio/tv off the minute he appears and judging by this thread I am not alone. Surely if that is repeating they focus group this sort of thing and get rid. At first he wound me up, then i laughed at him rather than with him, then i just turn over the moment he pipes up. Absolute specimin.

not sure on this, Andy Gray was very good at his job before being sacked and I'd tune in to watch his Monday Night Football analysis. It worked at the time and G Nev and Carra have taken it on another level having played the game recently. Likewise Hansen was good in his early years but then he just said the same thing year in/out and stayed about 5 years longer than he should. Shearer is only there because he's Alan Shearer and brings very little.

Danny Murphy is very good and BBC need to realise this and use him more. Even Jermaine Jenas on ITV seems to know what he's talking about.

The man is a cartoon character pure and simple
he has been dining out on that afghan hound hairstyle & wearing sh1t clothes for the last 15 years ,
he was a crap footballer and now he is a crap pundit , because he looks like a cnt and talks like a cnt people in TV think he is "controversial"
infact the whole of BT sports is pony , Owen, Keown, Ian Wright ,David James , Savage, could they pick any worse ?

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

It's because of Savage that I have given up listening to 606 and the like football programmes on BBC Radio 5 Live. Not listened in for about 2 years now. A terrible self opinionated pundit who can't/won't make a sensible argument to anything put forward to him. He is a prime example of all that is wrong with punditry these days, especially on the BBC. It seems that corporation have dumbed down considerably recently allowing so called controversial types to join and 'add a bit of spice' their already dwindling standards of programming. It's like " oohh he was a bit of a lad wasn't he, let's get him in, the footballing public will like his sort". Wrong Beeb. You've just scored a terrible own goal. Your radio and TV football shows are complete cack nowadays thanks to Savage's laddish sorts and the wishy washy types that try to sound interesting and desperately fail on all fronts to entertain and inform properly.

There aint half been some clever bastards.
