Carra on SKY

Neville was on TMS the other day, & said he's working very hard on talking more slowly as he normally talks too quickly.

No doubt Carra is doing the same through coaching. Sad like, I could understand Neville since day one & not once did I think he was talking too slowly. Speaking often feels forced & sounds contrite when it's slow & deliberate imo.
 
Thought it was quite good. Carra definetly tries to speak slower, but could probably speed it up a bit more than in this interview. He'll be a great pundit.
 
It's weird that they're still managing to get footballers to be pundits now that they're all multi-multi-millionaires.

You're young and fit and have £20m in the bank - the world's your oyster. And you choose to spend your time wearing make-up and talking about football with Gary Neville.

I suppose that's footballers for you.

I was gonna say getting paid to talk about football is great but when you put it like that...

Besides, for some reason they're all married with kids by the age of 21 (or in Sterling's case 12) so what else are they going to do...
 
Well the fact that they all do get married and have kids so young kind of reinforces the point!

I've never understood that.
 
I suppose punditry leaves them with plenty of time to play golf, which seems to exercise a bizarre hold on most of these players.
 
I'm not sold on Carra. Neville is, by a distance, the best pundit on TV. Carra will have to up his game. On the MNF preview show he was having a bit of trouble using the technology. Looked a bit lost.
 
Are we watching the same video? I mean, I think both of them talk a reasonable amount of sense, but this discussion in particular is hardly illuminating. I mean, the fact that they both stated the obvious without creating a puddle of drool sets them well above most ex footballer pundits, but it isn't the highest bar. Then again, they are largely there to fill time.

Married to the game. Divorce is painful.
 
I hate that Neville speaks sense and that I actually agree with him on most of his comments.

Urgggghhhh

All clubs encourage players to marry young and have children. They don't stop them fucking groupies, but it gives the club more bargaining over contracts, motivation etc than saying 'look, you could buy a FIFTH Ferrari.' No players do anything for us lot, they do it for their families and themselves.

Yeah, I knew that clubs prefer that, but I'd have thought the reason would be to settle them down a bit.

I'm not sure if the rest of what you say makes sense. They do *what* for their families? Win matches? Or make money? Because if it's the latter then that surely gives the player every incentive to ask for more money or to leave altogether. Seems to me that at the very least it would cut both ways...

Any manager out there would prefer their wildly wealthy, young and not very worldly players to have a wife and kids to keep them tethered to some sort of reality.
Ideally you'd want someone you wanted to stick around not wanting to uproot his young family would you not? It's all a balancing act isn't it? So yes, like most things in life, it cuts both ways.
 
Shankly had high hopes about a youngster who could one day replace Ian Callaghan. The only problem was that the youngster was a bit on the thin side. Shankly, Fagan and Paisley decided that the lad needed a diet of steak. Paisley was given the job of ensuring that steak was delivered to the lads family every day.

The diet of steak continued through the end of the season and all through the summer. On the first day of pre season training the lad knocked on Shankly's door.

'Jesus Christ, son, you look like physical poetry. You're muscular. Those steaks have worked a treat' said Shankly.

The young boy tried to explain that he wanted to speak to Shanks because he had a bit of a problem. He wanted a week off because he had a few things to sort out because he had got a girl pregnant.

Shankly darted to the door of his office and shouted down the corridor,
'Joe, Bob, come here, quickly! We've created a bleeding monster!!!!'

When discussing Liverpool’s promising midfielder Coutinho, Carragher suggested that he will be played on the left this season, but he would prefer him to play centrally, as he has the ability to be a classic “No.10”.

“He’s talented,” agreed Neville, but will he actually turn out to be that good, or will he be like Luis Garcia – a big bag of nothing?”

“Bit harsh on Luis,” said Carragher. “He’ll be sending me texts about that.”
