Listening to Alan Green doing the Blackpool Man City match just now. Fucking hell I hate him. He’s my number one. Robbie Savage has been surprisingly quite good IMHO. I agree with everyone else on the list though.

There’s enough morons involved in football media to fill a Top 30 list, never mind a Top 10. Mark Lawrenson’s got to be up there, his misery-guts schtick during the World Cup was unbelievable; Shearer’s become a joke; Gray and Tyler are a parody of themselves.

Also, anyone find Gareth Southgate’s insistence on using the first person plural when talking about England slightly grating? Wasn’t he meant to be the thinking man’s footballer? What happened there, then? Man’s an idiot…

The rest of the list is spot on but I am aghast that Steve Claridge is included, appalled even.

Ollie you’ll have to set up a page for Dunphy!

“What I’m seeing on Match of the Day every week is pretty dreadful. They just talk drivel. Whoever is winning is great, whoever isn’t, isn’t. It’s banal. And also semi-literate at times … they never criticise in an intelligent way. Anything that isn’t banal is said to be an outburst. They’ve created this cartoon world where everyone talks like Lineker and says nothing.”
– Eamonn Dunphy, in an interview for “442 Magazine”

“Can you imagine Tiger Woods or any of the great sportsmen; Lewis Hamilton, Padraig Harrington, Ruby Walsh the jockey – going out in front of a paying audience and playing like that – while they are world player of the year. It’s an absolute disgrace to the game…
What they saw tonight was an impersonator, a clown, a self-indulgent idiot really, doing crazy things. He’s a petulant brat Bill, poncing around all night…If you say that’s showbiz, this is showbiz Bill (points at self). If you really want to make it showbiz, take your gear off.”
– Eamon Dunphy, laying into Cristiano Ronaldo

“Imagine what Ireland might have done if led and inspired by a man of vision and courage. This is not very hard to do: Remember Giants Stadium, when with the spur of an early goal, the players overcame miserable tactics to humble Italy? Gifted with one of the most formidable squads in Europe Charlton squandered it all. In football terms Charlton has failed and should resign.”

“Look at this, you’d be taken off in the Phoenix Park for this. There, get that, one for the seagulls. Even you could play better than that Bill. Look, he tried to commit suicide. I’m thinking of making a comeback” Speaking about Germany’s Carnsten Jancker during the 2002 World Cup Finals.

“This guy is an idiot!” About Sven Goren Eriksson

“Football’s answer to Andy Capp” Dunphy on Jack Charlton

“He’s one of the biggest whingers in world football… he’s a bloody eejit.”

Probably the nicest thing he’s ever said about Mick McCarthy.

Don’t forget the time he fired his biro across the studio and said he was ashamed to be irish after we drew 0-0 with eygpt in italia 90!!

Its the Harry Kewell one that keeps getting me as I can hear him say it in my head “Hes fat and hes a clown Bill, hes a fat clown for all to see” :-) Between that one the bubblebath one and the Cisse trying to cross one im starting to feel robbed at the complete shower we get commentating over here. Only funny one I can think of was Clive Tyldsley when Man Utd played Inter in the champs league and Beckham piled into Diego Simeone (Acne riddled Argie) from behind and Tyldsley came out with “oooh caught hard from behind there by Beckham, perhaps Davids consumed with jealousy over Simeones good looks” Keep those Dunphy Diamonds coming The Truth if you got any more :-)
