And what sort of expertise is Wenger providing anyway? How to lose a title to Leicester? How to be shit in the CL? How to always leave a club short of the players it needs?
    Exactly what I was about to post, the guy turns pundit whenever a tournament comes around.

    He's a control freak, won't listen to another opinion, particularly one from a player he used to manage. It's a miracle Bould was even promoted but it's become increasingly clear he's nothing but a cone man. Boro Primorac is probably the only one with any say.

    If Arteta is good enough to work with Guardiola then he is good enough for Wenger, or maybe he was too good and that's why he left.

    One of my issues with Henry as a pundit is that he's too reserved in his criticism, particularly of Wenger who he clearly still has a lot of time for.

    Bizarre line for Wenger to take then, particularly as mentioned he's so quick to earn a few extra bucks doing the French TV work.

    One of my biggest issues with Henry as a pundit is he's a shit pundit.

    You seem to think the same of all pundits. I don't think Henry is sh*t at all, though I agree he's maybe not as critical of Wenger as he should be, very few former players are though and when they do have the guts to say something people on here ridicule them and defend Venga.

    Yes I do. They are all scared lackies sitting on the fence, all part of the old boys club, fearful of putting themselves out there and actually offering an opinion rather than the same dull, boring analysis. Never wanting to offend any player or manager. Never offering an insight, just telling us what we've just seen on the pitch ourselves. Possibly Roy Keane is the only one I have any time for because he doesn't give a shit about anyone and all the others are too scared to pipe up and contradict him. We get Droning Hargreaves, Stupid Owen, Idiot Quinn, Parrot Carragher, Posing Henry, Miserable Murphy, Wooden Shearer, Retarded Savage, Bitter Souness, Creepy Lineker, Dumb James, Predictable McManaman, Vacant Redknapp - a bunch of hopeless numpties working on cliched loop, saying the same tepid shit every single week, scooping up easy paychecks.

    To be fair the vast majority of pundits are shit. I like Neville and Murphy because I feel like I am learning more than what I am capable of working out myself just from watching. But that's pretty much it.

    I liked Vialli during the euros because he called the Italian backline the inglorious basterds on live mid afternoon tv.

    On principle he's probably right, it really should be one or the other but the hypocrisy as has been pointed out already is outstanding.

    The guy does punditry work for French TV regularly despite already being flushed with cash.

    Of course, on the back of that we could argue that Wenger is right - that's why he does such a shit job for us

    Yep, agree with you both.
