About 250 appearances in top flight football. Played to an international level, won the FA Cup and the English Premier League. Didnt he play in the Olympics too? Brings **** all but an annoying laugh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well when he stops the party laugh business he actually has some good insight. And is also more aware of what it is to play in the modern era compared to most of the pundits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Micah Richards and his analysis on the game plus his humour with his colleagues. I remember him as a player too and he was incredible when he broke onto the scene, would have been some player if not for injuries. He’s more than earned his right to be a pundit on Sky Sports given what he achieved as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was/is that “positive” discrimination in the name of diversity exists and that this just might be an example. We may just have to disagree on that one, it seems.

BackOfTheNet Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Richards is one of the best to have on a panel. Always enjoy it when I see him there. He’s not afraid to get under Keane’s skin too, which is never a bad thing for entertainment value. To be fair, a lot of English pundits are decent. While we have to settle for any ex old firm player looking for a wage to pay off the debts they built up blowing their earnings from their playing days.

Bull's-eye Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Richards is very poor punditry wise. Redknapp is by far the worse. Decent pundits bring up things us mere mortals don't spot. The above two clowns most certainly do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
