Paul Merson - Is his job to be a prick?

He's no different to the average biased football fan you find all over the Internet. Only difference is he's paid for the privilege of talking rubbish
I’d argue he actually talks more rubbish than the average fan. Some of his takes are completely absurd.
 
I don’t pay for sky anymore, I’m presuming he lost a bet in studio and wearing that was his punishment
It was his first week back after Strictly and he had promised to wear that outfit when he returned.
