    Right, I've shamelessly "lifted" this idea from the QPR board, but we all like a good bitch..:emoticon-0102-bigsm
    It can be anyone from the football fraternity, go on, vent your spleen!

    That would be Harry Redknapp three times then ? Impressive.

    I think my own would have to include Paul Merson, seeing as I've bitched about him already. Sepp Blatter has to be in there, simply because a man with no apparent personality was hugely overrated by his professional colleagues right upto the point where he was removed from his lofty leadership. And lastly, the late commentator Brian Moore. I try not to speak ill of the dead and I understand that he was a lovely kind man, but as a commentator and presenter I thought he was about as bad as it got. What others saw in him still confounds me to this day. John Motson can count himself lucky, in my view, that there was Brian Moore to be slightly worse than him. Harry Redknapp doesn't come close. :)

    Controversial, maybe, but Bill Shankly would be on my list. Some amusing anecdotes about him, but ultimately he comes across as a mysogynist homophobic racist git.

    Opposite side of the coin is Bob Paisley. Pray tell me why he wasn't knighted. Now that's a trophy hall to boast about.

    Back to over-rated ... How about Adrian Heath. Did nothing his whole career apart from ... My coat's on.

    I've never quite got why Mark Hughes was always in the frame for decent jobs, he was **** at Citeh and QPR and not great at Fulham with money to spend at all of them, but he seems to be doing ok at Stoke so i'll leave him out.

    1 Jim White, what a tosser and his sucking up to his pal 'Arry is truly nausiating
    2 David Batty, quite apart from that penalty miss, how did he manage to play over 40 times for England? he was just a clogger with absolutely no finesse whatsoever.
    3 Roy Hodgson., I may live to regret this choice if England do well in the summer but seriously what did he achieve in the english game that gets him so highly rated at the FA?
