Unpopular Opinion Thread
A chance for people to express an opinion which goes against the grain and might be considered a little controversial in the football community.
e.g. Lionel Messi is significantly worse than Cristiano Ronaldo

I don't think Pep Guardiola is a great manager.

I couldn't care less about the number of English players in the Premier League, if they're good enough they'll get games! If they can't, they can move abroad.

Raheem Sterling & Harry Kane are overrated. Liverpool & Spurs would be as good without them due to Coutinho (liverpool should prioritize keeping him over Raheem) & Eriksen.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
Football fans are massive hypocrites when demanding loyalty from their players.
Take Liverpool and Raheem Sterling. When Sterling was given the chance to go from QPR, I don't remember the Liverpool fans arguing he should stay loyal to the club that developed him. Now with the shoe potentially being on the other foot, fans are demanding 'loyalty'.

As someone who has listened to some of the very best of 606 (Danny Baker) and even quite good with Jonathan Pearce, and nowadays 606 is actually interesting again after years of being awful. Savage is brilliant on it, and hes a good pundit overall. He, like Phil Neville, should not be in the commentary box but I like Savage a lot more than most pundits.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
I used to despise Savage, but he's grown on me. He knows he's the class buffoon and acts accordingly. Unlike most pundits, he's prepared to hold his hands up when he's wrong. I rather listen to him over the likes of Michael Owen and Paul Scholes.Dolphin Ziggler wrote:Crimey wrote:Dolphin Ziggler wrote:Robbie Savage is a good pundit

I don't mind Savage tbh.
It's Niall Quinn who gets on my nerves. All the other pundits are decent. Ian Wright can sometimes be biast, but he's a legend so can be excused.

How many pundits aren't legends?
Do we therefore let Owen off for being crap because he's a legend or look past Scholes boring delivery because he too was a legend.

I think Man City deserve to be successful. Who cares if they got a billionaire backer? Other clubs hating are just jealous.

To be fair I don't listen to 606, but on Match of the Day I feel like he brings the program down a bit. He tends to play the same role that the celebrity guests do when they are on it. I tend to like most pundits though, I like Phil Neville think he's probably the best BBC has, I like Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy, Kevin Kilbane, Carragher, Gary Neville and the likes of Mark Lawrenson are decent.
Jamie Redknapp is rubbish. In fact a lot of the Sky ones are rubbish apart from Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville. BBC seem to manage to capture better pundits.

Savage comes across as an excitable kid whose been allowed to sit at the grown-ups table for the first time and celebrated by eating far too many sweets

Alan Smith is a rubbish pundit something about him grates me, same with Quinn. The worst by far though is Steve Claridge

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
I tend to think Carragher is pretty crap as well to be honest Crimey, he seems to lack real insight but that could just be Neville knowing far more so makes him loom worse than he possibly is.
Murphy and P Nev seem to know what they're talking about, it's just the delivery that is a bit lacking, very rarely do they talk rubbish though. Savage however is awful, bit of Man United bias in there but he took far too pleasure writing us off last year and the first half of this year for me to take him seriously.

I don't have Sky so don't watch them too often, but I think when you consider Carragher has been doing it for a lot less time than Neville has he is good. I'm expecting him to get better just as Gary Neville got better. I also think Carragher doesn't hold his punches as much as Neville does. I like the two-man team anyway, I think it works.

Again, it depends on what you're watching/listening to them on. Claridge is quite good on 5 live on the Monday Night Club.

In mid table I would agree but not at the top or the bottom.
A limit should be introduced on how many players you can loan out whom haven't come through the academy.

Paul Scholes is probably the most overrated player the Premier League has ever had.

Is that really that unpopular now? I'd say these days people do believe that.

I don't think he is better than Gerrard. I think if SAF could have done, he'd have taken Gerrard in his prime over Scholes.

Gerrard and Scholes were a very good CM partnership for England, which suggests they're different players.

I do agree with that, I don't think Gerrard directly replaces Scholes as they are definitely different players, but I do think Scholes is hugely overrated these days. I think over the next few years, this will end up with people then backlashing against it and underrating him.
