The Andy Gray Point and Laugh Thread

Anyone else fed up with this clown's ridiculous statements, or just annoyed at having to fork out money to listen to some overhyped windbag talk about a subject he hasn't got a clue about? Maybe we should start listing his constant **** ups and just laugh at him :)

From his pre Milan-United online analysis

The pressure has been heaped on Milan, and I believe that Milan side is ordinary. Not only will United get a result in Italy next week, they will beat Milan in their own backyard. I think they've got the Italians running scared - they're not a great team and they know it.

Anything else to be scared of? Pirlo? No. Seedorf? No. Ambrosini? No. Gilardino? Definitely not

From his pre Liverpool-Chelsea online analysis

People make a lot of the Anfield crowd and yes, there is something special about that stadium on European nights, but we're talking about Chelsea and superstars of the game here. They're not going to be fazed by that atmosphere.

What a ****ing liability :D :D

When it comes to International & European football the guy loses all objectivity whatsoever. Vidic came right through a Milan player from behind last night and it probably warranted a yellow, but Andy said "that wasn't even a tackle, let alone a foul".

The man is a joke and just a lackey for Sky and their marketing of the Premiership

Remember his rant last year when Barca put Chelsea out fair and square? About how Mourinho was right when he said Barca would cheat them out of it, and that he (Gray) wouldn't expect anything else off a Spanish team? This was in regards to Del Horno flattening Messi and getting sent off for a reckless challenge? It verged on racism at times

I think Gray is good when just talking about Premiership matches but when it comes down to European games he is a joke. I don't know why people watch Sky when you have RTE and Darragh Maloney and Ray Houghton......

At the end of United's comeback against Everton, he said something like

'Man United have fought back, and that is why the Premiership is the best league in the world'.

What, so a top 6 team can be winning 2-0 against United and still end up losing makes the league good??

Gray is terrible but Ray Wilkins makes him look brilliant.

If thats the case Bohs 6-4 win over Rovers in 2001, coming back from 4-1 down proved that the LOI was the best league in the world!

ok why not give your assumptions about various matches coming up and we'll see how well you do...there will defo be some hiccups along the way!

Are you Andy Gray in disguise?...................Or his mate?

Don't get me started. They get things wrong far more often than my mother in law. Giles stated last week that he'd bet his house on Man U getting through :D .

Jebus' point is not just about Gray getting predictions wrong, it's about his bias and myopia when English teams are playing in Europe and the hype of the Premiership. I know he depends on the latter for his living but the former is unprofessional.

andy gray is a t wat, i hate it when he criticises the referee way after the incident, by looking at the replays and slow-mo - that way its easy to be critical of a ref

he had his big chance to show what he knows about football when he was linked to the everton job years ago, and turned it down..............chicken

Yeah, I think he knew he wouldn't be up to the job. Absolute legend as a player though. Anyone who doubts that should look at the ECWC semi-final of 1985 against Bayern Munich.

There's a huge difference between analysing and managing.
