Battle of the World Cup Pundits....
Next up.....
A BATTLE OF THE FOREIGN PUNDITS, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR FABIO 'ITALIAN STALLION' CANNAVARO AND THIERRY 'VA-VA-VOOM' HENRY!!!!!!!!
Both World Cup winners. Both had glittering Club careers. Both, in my strictly heterosexual but comfortable in my own skin opinion, are devilishly handsome. As pundits though, this is a walkover. Cannavaro is handicapped due to his pidgin-English, he has a good stab at it but ultimately it means most of his statements and observations, whilst may be overflowing with sensibility and information, are not portrayed in a manner that allows it to be mentally digested. Does win points for his Italian Chic fashion sense however. Titi, I don't want to wax lyrical, I don't want to be biased, but I'd let him take me to a fancy hotel, Pretty Woman style, and he wouldn't have to fork out on expensive trinkets, shall we say. He is all that I aim to be!
VERDICT - Fabio puts up a game defence, but Le King ends it in the 3rd with a brutal knockout.

IT'S PATRICK 'I'VE RUN OUT OF SUPERLATIVES TO DESCRIBE THIS MIDFIELD JUGGERNAUT' VIEIRA UP AGAINST... WELL... ROBBIE 'I MEAN COME ON, DO I REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY HE IS SUCH A GARGANTUAN BELL, DOESN'T HIS NAME JUST SUM IT ALL UP?' SAVAGE......
A lot has been said of Savages' performances this season as a supposed 'expert'. I for one, happen to think he sticks to his guns, offers up a few pertinent points and at least doesn't wear beige. You just have to look past the outer shell of nasal whining and lack of upper-crust football. Even his host Lineker ripped the granny out of him when he was next to his more illustrious colleagues Henry and Seedorf. Still, I'd rather him than Hansen.
Paddy, on the other hand, has done it all in his playing career and is still involved (partially anyway) in the current game with Citeh. He is tactically sound, his English is passable and, whilst Savage wins valuable 'BANTZ' points, Paddy is rather sharp and pithy even. Does fall short when in more heated instances, as seen when Dixon pushed him on the Pepe dismissal. He rather often just repeated the same answer. A small criticism though.
VERDICT - VIEIRA wins on the scorecards, unanimous decision.
