Best moment: His tendency to shake up the RTE panel and challenge Liam Brady on Trapattoni.

6. Liam Brady
YouTube credit: RTÉ Sport
Best moment: His impassioned and well-argued defences of Trapattoni were undoubtedly consummate, even if most people didn’t usually agree with them.
5. Roy Keane
YouTube credit: Beanyman62Sports
Best moment: Not many people went along with his view that Nani deserved a red card against Real Madrid, but it was compelling TV — and there’s always a sense that ITV is worth watching whenever Keane is on, owing to the unpredictability factor he brings to proceedings.
4. Eamon Dunphy
YouTube credit: RTÉ Sport
Best moment: Changing his mind on Roy Keane’s appointment showed he’s not quite as stubborn as some people may think.
3. Graeme Souness
YouTube credit: Mikey Sykes
Best moment: His consistent tendency to hammer players and avoid sitting on the fence has livened up the Sky studio considerably since he became a permanent fixture there.
2. John Giles
YouTube credit: RTÉ – Ireland’s National Television and Radio Broadcaster
Best moment: His frequently insightful and authentic thoughts on the sport are always worth listening to.
1. Gary Neville
YouTube credit: BPLSupremo
Best moment: Neville’s intimate knowledge of the modern game has turned Monday Night Football on Sky into must-watch television for hardcore fans of the game. His analysis of United under Moyes, in particular, has a ring of authenticity to it.

Please if you have a chance
If George Hamilton mentions Allison’s lack of clean sheets once more tonight, I’ll make my way to Anfield to personally shove Hamilton’s hands up his own h0le
@Ian Synnott: that’s oddly specific
@Ave it: Hamilton is being very specific about Allison’s lack of clean sheets.
@Ian Synnott: and fireworks…
@Ian Synnott: cant listen to him anymore. Surely he means liverpool’s and not Allison’s. The man had like 22 of them last season. Has played f all this year. This must be why your upset ha.
@Ave it: whilst failing to recognize that this he has only played 4 games this season
@Ian Synnott: I was talking about the hands…
@Ave it: ah sure, why not
@Yorkie1892: Might as well just send him out to watch the fireworks. Lug
Jürgen Flopp

@Declan O Toole: He’s chronic
@Declan O Toole: Todd Flanders! Brilliant

3-1 Genk
@Fergus O’Connor: draw for sure
@Joe Shea: I see all the pundits are online tonight.
@Fergus O’Connor: Genk are not that good!
@Damian Moylan: No 1-1
Clean sheets this season is very bad. Easy goals from set pieces conceded again.
@Yorkie1892: yeah. Definitely needs ti be tightened up quick. Especially going into crimbo fixtures. Forwards get tired and cant always bail out.
Gomez and Keita not good enough for Liverpool.
