Paul Merson's words of, well, err... wisdom...

[Dharmabum]

20. "When Everton knock it long, they don't knock it long."

19. "After Chelsea scored, Bolton epitulated."

18. "He done great to get where he got."

17. "Scoring goals is the hardest thing in football but doing it in a struggling team is double harder."

16. "Football's all about yesterday, it's all about now."

15. "They're not that very good, Napoli."

14. "If you’re chopping and changing the team you don’t get that word I can’t pronounce beginning with ‘C’."

13. "There's only one person gets you sacked and that's the fans."

12. "You can’t bite your nose off to spite your face."

11. "Swansea's right-back, Rangel Angel, will be putting the crosses in."

10. "It was a damp squid for Liverpool."

9. "Reading won't have the confidence to be confident."

8. "Goals dictate how matches go."

7. "People just looked lost. Too many players looked like fish on trees."

6. "The new manager has given us unbelivable belief."

5. "You usually like to play promoted sides around Christmas. They have got two lungs at the moment."

4. "Liverpool have just rolled the last bit of dice."

3. "For this game only, Burnley won't change their style of play. And for certain other games too."

2. "When defenders get ran at they're not as great as what they are."

1. "They're lacking that real streak of bang."

 

[chinaman]

Is that the English language that he uses?

Good Grief! Can you imagine him and David Pleat commentating together

 

[Danners9]

He's a real life version of Philamena Cunk's Moments of Wonder.

 

[Anurag Jo]

I love Pleatie!

 

[riggi]

He's pissed.

 

[Shadydan]

The new manager has given us unbelivable belief."

 

[gilzeantheking]

I love Pleatie!

Me too

During the FA cup game against Burnley(?) that was on the radio this season he kept referring to Chiriches as "Cheery - Cheese"

Now Vlad is always this in my mind.

I love Pleatie!

Me too! I just think my head would explode if I had to listen to them conversing!

 

[GMI]

I love Pleatie!

Agreed. Pleatie knows a hell of a lot about football. He just struggles to articulate it sometimes. Merson...he just doesn't appear to be that intellegent at all.
David Pleat: He's one of our own.

Ain't we all Merse, ain't we all

 

[nailsy]

Another one of his classics..

"I'd play him all day long, even if it's only for 45 minutes"

 

[pffft]

14. "If you’re chopping and changing the team you don’t get that word I can’t pronounce beginning with ‘C’."

Paul Merson, a man who is a word we can all pronounce beginning with 'c'.

1 minute in...

It's almost poetry. He's like the Dylan Thomas of the modern age.

 

[johnnyallen]

I think Paul wankstain merson is THE biggest **** in world football.

 

[Gbspurs]

Another one of his classics..

"I'd play him all day long, even if it's only for 45 minutes"

That one is ok but it's just because he is using a bastardisation of language that gives his sentence a different meaning and makes it seem odd.

If you separate it he is using "all day long" as a confirmation of intention, rather than a definition of timescales.

 

[gilzeantheking]

He's at it again to-day
