It has now been over a year and a half since Rafa Benitez was last a football manager. Today he
spends his time as a TV pundit and blogger. In the period since he was sacked by Liverpool in June
of 2010, the club's struggles have continued, with Benitez's successor, Kenny Dalglish, himself
getting the sack in May.
The BBC have been forced into apologising for comments made by Match of the Day 2 host and
'Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2007′ Colin Murray last Sunday, after receiving several complaints
relating to Murray describing Pepe Reina's red-card offence against Newcastle as a 'lame
headbutt.
Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen took to Twitter to express her surprise that her hubby didn't start last night's match against Real Madrid. Rooney was left on the bench for the Champions League match, with Coleen tweeting: "Can't believe @WayneRooney isn't starting tonight!!!" Some of today's newspapers are pondering whether the selection decision spells the end [.
"United need a new Roy Keane!" blares the tabloid press. "Arsenal has to have an heir to Patrick
Vieira's throne!" an ex-player opines. "Chelsea must find someone for the ‘Makelele' position!"
A pundit enthuses. Time and time again we've heard...
Firstly, apologies for the shite headline. I couldn't help myself. Anyway, on we go...
Bizarrely, coming into Saturday's Olympic final, Brazil had never ever won a Olympic gold in
football. And after a rather mediocre performance from the Samba superstars against a superb
Mexican side, the gold once again eluded the star-studded side.
Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, was asked by Roy Hodgson to join his team of
coaches for the Euros, despite having no experience. After retiring, Neville walked in to a job
with Sky Sports as a pundit and has been a roaring success. It is presumably because of his
excellent pre and post match analysis that Neville was seen capable of providing something to the
set up for this tournament.
Roy Keane pays Gary Neville a compliment - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Roy Keane was a team-mate and captain to Gary Neville for many years at Manchester United at the
same time that Ferguson brought Keane to Old Trafford, the young crop of players that included Gary
Neville were making their mark in the youth team.
Since making the move from the pitch to the TV studio, GNev has instantly become one of the best
football pundits out there. However, the Red Devils legend also fancied himelf as a bit of a hotel
magnate. The former England man planned to use the proceeds from last year's testimonial game at
Old Trafford to build a £20million, 139-bed hotel and supporters club right next to the so
called 'Theatre of Dreams'.
Now a rising star pundit on Sky, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has tabbed his Team
of the Season with a familiar name in the side. Below, he explains why the Texas Tornado is his
choice over some big names on the left. - Greg Seltzer
Sky pundit and former England star Ray 'Razor' Wilkins has been charged with drink-driving after
being arrested near his home in Cobham, Surrey on Monday night.
The former Chelsea coach was questioned at Reigate police station before being charged with
driving under the influence.
After last night's palaver at the Libertyand the accusations of racism leveled at Oldham's Lee Croft not so very long ago, pundit and former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has told BBC Breakfast this morning that the PFA should now be thinking long and hard about dropping ballboys altogether.
Dave Bryan looks on stonily as Roberto Martinez gives him a piece of his mind
Wigan was robbed of a win against Chelsea by an incompetent linesman. Dave Bryan was guilty of
letting both Branislav Ivanovic and Juan Mata's goal stand although they were clearly off side, the
first more so than the second.
Robbie Savage and Dion Dublin join Colin Murray on MOTD3 to find away who has been voted the most fashionable member of the MOTD and MOTD2 teams. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/55448000/jpg/_55448360_matchoftheday3.jpg
Clarence Seedorf's magnificent career just goes on and on. After pretty much conquering Europe,
the Dutch midfielder now finds himself in Brazil with Botafogo. And in his fourth game with the Rio
Di Janeiro side, the 36-year-old converted a superb free-kick to level the scores with Atletico
Goianiense 1-1.
The Arsenal legend turned pundit Martin Keown is under no illusion who he thinks is Arsene Wenger's
best buy this summer. Although he thinks that Podolski and Giroud will turn out to be quality
additions to the Arsenal team he is certain that Santi Cazorla will prove to be even more
influential than the departed [.
Hello, and happy last day of the working week. Today finds me in fettle less than fine, but
that's a story for another day, or better yet, never. Let's just say it was late when I got to bed
last night, and I could do with more sleep. Yes, that's it. Sleep is what I need most. And possibly
a drip.

THEO Walcott is not a good footballer. Those are the, er, wise words from former Arsenal
midfielder Stewart Robson, who these days earns a corn as a pundit. Now, I am not as clever or
experienced as Robson when it comes to football.
But am I alone in thinking that, in fact, Walcott is a rather good footballer.
Images: David Ramos/Getty Images. Why is the state of Alex Song's hair "don't" not coming up in
any relevant discussions? Across the web you can read about conspiracy transfer theories, this past
weekend's results and how to spot a knock off handbag. Yet nary a single person or pundit is
(correctly) questioning what in the world [.
Warren Barton played for Newcastle from 1995 through 2002, and he now lives in Southern

Your gambling addiction is a serious problem. Savings. Car payments. Rent. Cash flows through
your soon-to-close bank account like a raging river. However, there's still hope. All you need is

How can you accomplish this feat?

Famed for missing that crucial spot-kick against Germany back in 1996, Gareth Southgate has quit
his post as The FA's Head of Elite Development, thus ruling himself out of the running for the
organisation's Technical Director job.
The former Aston Villa defender released a statement on The FA's website which said:
The FA can today confirm that Gareth Southgate will not be continuing in his role as Head of
Elite Development and no longer wishes to be considered for the role of FA Technical Director.
Eamon Dunphy got it right. The "outspoken" pundit for Irish state television (RTE) said on
Saturday night that "England won't score, they have no creative players...it'll go to penalties and
Italy will go through." It was a stroke of luck for Dunphy, who rather slurred his way through a
short interview on RTE Radio, as he "was preparing for the Spain v France game.
How do you motivate the national team that's already won everything? With "an unbelievable amount
of sex". That's the verdict of ex-England captain Alan Shearer anyway. The BBC pundit had a minor
slip of the tongue during the post-match festivities which led to him crediting Shakira, Sara
Carbonero and the rest of Spain's WAGs with [.
Pundits appear to agree that Wigan Athletic had a good season. Indeed, they had such a good
season that Latics chief Roberto Martinez has become a pundit himself, sitting on sofas alongside
Patrik Vieira and Roy Keane on ITV's Euro 2012 coverage.
The below word cloud was generated using all of Wigan Athletic's match reports from the BBC
website from the 2011/2012 season.
That's right folks, after a year away from the limelight, I am back in your face like an unwanted
comeback from Steps with my expert analysis on all things Euro 2012. I will admit that like the
dancing popsters, it is very unlikely that I will be hitting the heights of the glory days but I
promise that at least I haven't become as fat as the the blonde one.
Spurs star Luka Modric was linked with a move to Barcelona in yesterday's papers. While it's
difficult to imagine a club less in need of a playmaker, he certainly pulled out all the stops
against many of his would-be team-mates last night. Everton manager David Moyes, working as a
pundit for the BBC, noted that [.
With both sides neither scoring many or conceding a lot in the run up to the tournament, you
could have been forgiven for not expecting too much in the way of drama as co-hosts Poland faced
Greece in the Euro 2012 (Group A) opener. But how wrong you'd have been you big eejit!
Yesterday, preceding one of the most astonishing league finales ever to be seen in our
lifetimes, a more commonplace phenomenon was observed: Joey Barton. He was sent off for
extracurriculars before the hour mark, putting his famously good behavioral regulation skills on
show. (Charged not once but twice for violent conduct.
Kenny Dalglish will not quit as Liverpool manager, according to former team-mate Mark
Lawrenson.
Liverpool won the Carling Cup and are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but the 2-0 defeat by
Newcastle was their sixth in seven Premier League games.
Lawrenson, the BBC Sport pundit, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't think he'd walk away.
The BBC's Football Coverage Is Appalling - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
News broke yesterday of Lee Dixon's departure from the BBC football punditry team. Now Dixon is
by no means a great pundit. He wasn't enormously informative, didn't have great vocal delivery. He
wasn't as good as Gary Neville or even Graeme Souness on Sky.

Now that Arsenal have already secured the German international Lukas Podolski, every pundit around
was absolutely certain that Wenger's next target would be Jan Vertonghen, who could be available
for as little as £7million as he approaches the last year of his contract at Ajax. Vertonghen
played alongside Thomas Vermaelen at the Dutch giants, and [.
