None of them. They are all (over) paid to over egg the product. It's money for old rope. Lineker probably the worst as he has made a fortune out of it.
Things have got several degrees worse with the constant box ticking - both pundits and commentators. |

Worst - Jamie Redknapp
Posted this before - Barcelona Champions League Match - Messi injured - Jamie " great chance for Barca to show they are not a one-man team". Six players of one the greatest teams of all time - Spain = Euro '08, World Cup '10, Euro '12 - all playing for Barca !!  .Forgot the Irish guys name until previous post - when spent a lot of time in Ireland for a couple of years Johnny Giles/ Eamon Dunphy were good - their HT analysis was about WHY a team was on top/playing badly. Came back and its about "was it offside, penalty etc" - that's not analysis, its only an opinion masquerading as an analysis Though think its getting better - on BBC thought at half-time they pointed out how the Argies were getting numerical supremacy in midfield, whereas I thought we were going to go through was/wasnt a penalty routine. Pleasantly surprised. |

Richard Dunne always looks like he's in distress, sitting on his hands, trying not to fart, with his face getting redder and redder desperately waiting for the commercial break. He's either very nervous or very shy.
Redknapp is the only pundit who after I've listened to him, I've ended up learning less than what I did to begin with. |

Which channel, which Redknapp is this? Both bluffers. Harry in recent times coming on for transfer deadline day, hasn't heard of virtually all of the players but 'he's a good lad, a great player blah blah...' Money for old rope my old china.

Would be, no doubt, severely downvoted for saying Michael Owen is now underrated.
I've deliberately listened to him on BT, because of the constant slagging he was getting. Over the past 18 months he was obviously hurt/told to up his game and it has become clear he puts the hours in and does his prep homework. I despaired of Rio Ferdinand and at times Alan Shearer over the World Cup. They seem to be very settled and blase about their roles at the top of the punditry tree and, at times, gave the impression they seemed to be on a Middle-East holiday. Lineker does seem to put in the prep hours. |

I can't think of a single pundit who can predict the result of a match as well as I can so I don't pay attention to any of them Roy Keane included.

He has to. As a presenter, he'd have to attend production meetings which the others most likely wouldn't. Would be, no doubt, severely downvoted for saying Michael Owen is now underrated. He is actually good. He was spot on about Man Utd saying the club was more interested in playing a system to cover their weaknesses rather than playing a winning system and weed out the weak players who can't keep up. |
