What language is this woman speaking that it takes 60 seconds in her language to ask a question that takes 5-10 seconds in English? And I though french was overly wordy...

Edit: or is that the answer being translated into Ukranian?

Russian...

 
Plus love the fact JT is sticking up for himself, name checking Savage against who JT obviously admires as players was surgically done, would of destroyed savage on the pitch, remember Savage was a dirty dirty player.....

I agree, that wasn't my issue with the comment.

I suppose it could seem that JT is commenting negatively about what one might call 'journeyman' players. Savage didn't have a bad career as such. He gained a reputation as a dirty player and was and is a self-publicist. As a pundit, he's honest and he'd probably accept that players he criticises are not always going to take it.

Share your sentiments remodez. Terry was wrong calling him out like that, because he didn't have an illustrious career? Bet if he retired at utd or pool, he wouldn't have. No matter how wrong savage is with his opinions, he's only doing his job as a pundit.

I fully agree with Terry's conclusion which is to ignore Savage but you don't need to have had a successful career to be a good analyst.

This is why I said I hope it was said more as a dig just to annoy pundits like Savage, cause let's face it he is a bellend at times, rather than a serious opinion he holds seeing as he's working for a manager who didn't have a successful career himself and is now one of the best managers in the world.

I actually don't mind Savage because at least he states his opinion rather than most boring, media savvy pundits. He's alright.

Most of the times I don't mind him, probably cause I don't really consider him a proper pundit. He's mainly just there to give a player's insight into the life of a footballer and to be the butt of jokes.

But on the other side, in terms of criticism from a fellow/former pro who performed at a much lower level, you don't expect the top heart surgeons to care about criticism from some no name doctor, do you? What about a top-firm name partner lawyer getting criticized by some no name associate in a small firm, would you expect the former to care?

Ya Savage is paid to do a job, but if you're like Terry and have operated as one of the best in the world at your chosen profession then you don't have to take much heed of someone who was relatively run of the mill. I don't think Terry said Savage has no right to an opinion, just that he doesn't really care about it. What's wrong there?

would love drogs, lamps and terry to have roles at the club together; would be amazing for team morale and motivation.

I'm waiting for there to be an announcement for the new manager. The camera then shows JT and Lamps at the table, who then engage in a game of rock paper scissors. The winner is the manager; the loser is the assistant. 

 
Harsh truths.

Did JT win Daddies Sauce's Daddy of the year?  I missed that.

 
I remember Robbie Savage when he was a player digging out a TV reporter in a post-match interview saying;  'you've never played the game', 'you don't know what you're talking about if you've never played at this level' etc etc. So it's an argument Savage is already familiar with because he's used it himself.

So Savage should just have said: JT did a great job there.
