Game on!

 

[northlincsshrimper1]

That news from these "experts" should take care of the Saturday team talk!

 

[kevst183]

have you ever known them to be wrong????



YES!!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

I can see where they're coming from but.....wouldn't it be great to see them be reminded (when we escape), and see them with egg on their faeces ....oops spelling mistake.....

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

WHAT A JOKE!!!! be surprised if any pundit at SKY SPORTS had even heard of Southend United Football Club. I seem to remember back in the day that according to SKY they apparently invented football back in 1992(LOL). So that means no World Cup Winners 1966, or Pele, or Johan Cryuff, or George Best, or Jimmy Greaves, or Denis Law, or Bobby Moore, or Gordon Banks, or even worse than that no BILLY BEST!!!!! SKY please just stick to what you are good at promoting the Premier League, "You know the best league in the world" (Angry!! or what just don't get me started).

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

Once they have removed their heads from their ar**s they may be able to see better!
As BB says above, life outside the premier league doesn’t exist to them.

I predicted this months ago so but a little bet on. Hope I lose

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Best news we've had for a while.

All we need is Barna to say we're down and we're as good as safe.

I’d like to prove this guy wrong too!

 

[Rob1920]

All these 'pundits' will do is look at current form and see ours is by far the worst of the bottom bunch and base it on that alone. They won't bother looking into the difference a change of manager might make, a player or two coming back from injury, what picking up a good away draw at the weekend might do for confidence etc. If it was predicting who'll win the Prem or the CL they'd look into all that stuff, but they won't waste energy on looking beneath the surface of the L1 relegation candidates.

 

[Mad Cyril]

These pundits are just a bunch of ****s.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Best news we've had for a while.

All we need is Barna to say we're down and we're as good as safe.

Ha! Thought we were down after the Shrews game but last week's result has given me renewed hope.

Paul Merson's Prem predictions in August 2017 for May 2018. Relegation positions 0 out of 3. Don't we all love an expert? https://www.skysports.com/football/...for-the-title-arsenal-to-miss-out-on-top-four

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

When we had the Pompey game on tele Don Goodman said “I think Southend’s play off challenge is over”

Cheers mate. They really haven’t got a clue on what’s going on outside of the Premier League bubble and their commentary is cringeworthy. Just televise games with crowd noise

But this is hardly groundbreaking predictions is is!?

 

[RHB]

Having thought long and hard about this I have decided that I don't give a toss what their opinions are. The outcome is in our hands.

 

[cerbera45]

Ain't done yet, still a twist or two to come imo

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Print it out, stick it on the dressing room door, put it in the loos for good use too.

Really don't see what's controversial about this, they've said it's pretty much impossible to say who is going down but since they had to pick 4 teams they've included us because we're in rubbish form. Are you seriously telling me that if you didn't have a bias because it's our own club you'd look at the form we're in and say 'they're staying up'?

 

[RHB]

Really don't see what's controversial about this, they had to pick 4 teams and we're an obvious choice. Are you seriously telling me that if you didn't have a bias because it's our own club you'd look at the form we're in and say 'they're staying up'?

Of course not, but I, and I strongly suspect others, are biased, very biased. And lets face it when it comes to abusing Sky pundits it's pretty much open season because they're nobs and deserve it without reservation. One of the joys of a fans board is that you can do that sort of stuff.
