Graeme Sourness | Retires from “punditry”

Pogback, football back, He is happy.
He's in the studio and about to talk about Pogba starting in T minus 3 seconds...
Fecking Sky, anything for a bit of controversy. This cnut should be nowhere near Utd games.
I think he’ll be kind. Times are changing.
He was saying to Micah Richards after the Burnley game that he regrets not calling out the directors' racist comments in his presence when he was a manager years ago, he sounded sincere, i was surprised with how honest he was. So i agree, i think he'll be careful with his comments tonight.
Souness, Redknapp, Barnes and Carragher. Think I see a theme here
The hosts are cnuts for goading him on Pogba. Its fecking annoying.
He’s making a good point about fitness
Why I don’t watch build-up, summarised in one line.
To be fair, Liverpool are about to all but confirm the title, and are on next.
What did he say mate? Missed it.
A lot of teams coming back looking a shadow of themselves, including us and Liverpool. City can cope easier with the amount of quality they have to rotate with.
Honestly, the sky love in for Liverpool is reaching overload and vomit levels, the commercials about there 30 year wait for a title, the constant promo, the pundits, jesus, it really does put you off, i've got the build up on in the background on mute.
Less Scousers on LTV then on SkySports.....
It’s so blatant
Just went on a mini rambling rant on our boy Pogs.

Redknapp shutting him up quite well there though. Good stuff Jamie.
And they had Kelly Cates (Dalglish's daughter) for the derby.
Just waiting for the Ron Atkinson slip one day.
Said the same about gay / LGBTQ stuff I think last year. Mentioned attending pride, was nice to see an older person being open on changing their pov. Has an issue with Pogba but I don't think it's based on racism, probably more feels the talented is being wasted / isn't doing enough with his gifts.
Benefit of the doubt but could be wrong.
Does he go in on black players in general? Or is it just Pogba?
Just PP I think. Also he is his biggest rivals biggest asset. Of course he will go in on him.
He's also the one that eggs him on about Pogba just so he can shut him down.
Don't know really, maybe I'm being unfair.
No he's very complimentary to Rashford, he's a bit odd with foreign black players.
Yeah I've noticed that. Jamie mentioned Pogba then for absolutely no reason, you could see Souness was pissed off about it.
Baffling that people even want to imply it’s racism. Souness has his faults but that isn’t one of them. My take is as a fellow midfielder he’s frustrated by seeing such a talented player not deliver. Yes he’s focused too much on PP but it doesn’t help people have latched on to it and bring it up to him constantly.
He attended a pride march? I didn't know that. For someone of his generation, 67 years old, that's a big thing and fair play to him for that.
I don't know what his deal is with Pogba. I wouldn't throw the racism card at him, but the critisicm he has for him is way over the top by now. It's been constant for years. I've never seen him hammer anyone else for as long as he has with Pogba.
It’s always been like this with every bit of success they’ve had. The love in goes into hyperdrive. Not just Sky either, pretty much all channels where pundits are concerned.
Fair, but United, new generation, plays in his position, hyper talented, agent is a knob etc.
Can't believe that Jesus got involved too...
Souness is many things but a racist isn't one of them. He was also the manager to break Rangers' policy of not signing Catholic players so I'd say he's a pretty liberal guy in that sense. He's just a bit of a grumpy arse at times and too stubborn to accept that he may have gotten it wrong initially so doubles down on it.
Is it just me or is the guy top right the twin of Luis Suarez?
Is it just me or is the guy top right the twin of Luis Suarez?
This. Souness knows acutely the elements of midfield play that Pogba has been patchy at in recent years but which are integral to controlling games on and off the ball from that area of the park. He’s always been hard on players who were inconsistent in that area both as a pundit and as a manager.
Sky are obviously playing everyone like fiddles instructing their presenters to ask his view on him every broadcast.
Agreed. He probably looks at KDB and gets frustrated that Pogba isn't as consistent considering he has the talent to be as good as KDB but instead, from the outside, it appears that he is more focused on extra curricular activities.
I doubt Souness is a racist at all.
