Jamie "insight" redknapp

did you hear his contribution to the discussion of ronaldo's goal after the porto game?

was i pissed or did he actually say something along the lines of: "he swings his leg right through the ball - down onto it, and it explodes of his foot, and that is what gives it all of it's power, and it flies into the net"?

cheers for that you footballing sage - kicking the ball with your leg makes the ball go toward the goal, and the harder you do it the faster it goes - well, i'm wiser now thanks to you. he really makes you see the game in different ways.

wage thief.

Absolutely right. There are only a couple of pundits who aren't. You wonder how much some of them get paid for telling us that kicking the ball hard makes it go fast, the 'Germans will be well-organised Gary' and Rooney 'needs to work on his temperament'.

No wonder none of them are £#%&!ing managers.

Made me laugh when Keys said something about Fergie managing the most Champions League games ever and asked the pundits if they could guess who was second. Jamie immediately pipes up 'Guus Hiddink' whilst Souness says Wenger. The top 10 table flashes up with no Hiddink and Wenger number 2..

It reminded me of The Office when Finchy goes up for the tie-breaker question:

'Macbeth.'
'Yes'
'No'
'...no'

The best bit of Sky's coverage...

Graeme Souness
3 Times European Cup Winner

Ruud Gullit
2 Times European Cup Winner

To be fair to him, he did wear a white suit as a losing FA Cup finalist.

I saw that too : I was waiting for the caption ' Married to Louise ' to come up !

What Redknapp actually said was that most professional players, when striking a ball from that distance, towards goal, their leg usually ends up about waist height with the follow through. Ronaldo, however, seems to hit the ball with very little follow through but the ball explodes off his foot.

Don't try sticking up for him, no-one likes him and if everyone wants to give him stick whilst getting facts wrong or right then that's okay with me.

I am a big fan of Souness. He is a closet red.

Redknapp always looks stressed out when he is on with Gullit and Souness. They are both relaxed, laid back, confident and assured in their analysis and opinions.

Redknapp seems under pressure to perform, anxious to make his mark and join in with 'grown-ups' conversation. I forget what was said on Wednesday but he was dismissed by Souness and the camera panned to show all 3 of them, and he seemed to be developing 'Arry's twitch and sat there, seething and going red, he didn't speak for ages, then when he joined in he said one thing and went off on a tangent talking absolute %@#$&!s. Like a child who knows £#%&! all about the subject but wants to be involved would.
