Clearly he's not incapable of talking about the game without lapsing into incessant bantz and bits and jibs and hooting, so either he has a sly habit on the side and took one too many bumps... or Super Sunday producers are desperately egging him to spice things up for keane reaction memes and tiktok promos.
Sturridge - Sky’s new entertainer :(

- Start date
Darren Fletcher (our one) was excellent when he was having a bit of a break from playing for medical reasons and stepped into the studio when he was about 30/31 I’d guess.
I’ve been watching for 30 odd years. Never heard it before in my life. What about ‘keep it funky with you boy’? sounds like a classic also
Cool, hip catchphrases and Prada clobber looks like it’s here to grace the weekly football thanks Sky you fecking morons.

Yeah, you touched a nerve mate. You got me.
What has his face fitting got to do with it. What did you mean?
This thread stinks
Didn't take long
Bring back Souness?
Just like Sturridge’s punditry skills

It's definitely an old football term; I remember my granda using it 40 odd years ago and my dad would still use it from time to time.
It’s ironic that those spewing the most vitriol about there being a pundit on TV they don’t like are the most likely to be labelling others ‘snowflakes’ and ‘whiners’…
Quit bitching and suck it up. Or better yet, get funky with your boy.

Was like a CBeebies presenter. The way he was talking and putting on silly voices was a bit bizarre for a supposed professional standard of punditry. Saying that, when he actually gives his opinion he isn’t that bad in comparison to the others…but he’s clearly there for the clicks.
I just knew this wasn’t going to go down well 
He’s the perfect example of a class clown.

Don't know what you lot are so angry about? Trent should have just kept it funky with his boy.
I don't buy Sturridge is that self-aware!We are talking about the player who produced this right ?
How would you actually expect he comes up with something non cringe? Unlike Owen who probably sees himself completely differently this guy fully embraces his cringeness , that's his thing in a way.
(Meanwhile Keano is obviously on the level)
The thing with Sturridge is I've heard a few bits and bobs where he talks about what it's like being a striker, making decisions as he's through on goal etc. That's all fine by me, but the Gen Z meets Alan Partridge act he's got going on is just very weird, and not something I want to bother with on a regular basis.
I don't understand how anyone can find him to be anything other than incredibly annoying and cringe.
Or he's just a cringey try hard. At least with Micah it's genuine.
bunch of old men yelling at clouds in this thread.
your time is over, dinosaurs. you guys are finished.

Nah, you just aren't down with the groove, man.
I can't watch the videos, too scared. Richards is ok, and it is clear he gets on with Keane and they have good banter. I won't comment on Sturridge because I didn't watch, but Sky is clearly trying to make an entertainment product that has one eye on the YouTube/Twitter/TikTok posts afterwards.
1000% this.
Precisely. We need more mad ladz with top bantz like the young up and coming 33 year old Sturridge. Radical, dude!
Every caf user should have "funky" before their name

Richards is annoying as feck but at least it feels like he’s being genuine. I have no fecking clue what that was that I saw from Sturridge today, it felt like everything he did was to grab attention.
I’ll all for new pundits but at least give us some with some decent tactical insight as well as a bit of charisma and personality. Otherwise just feck them all off and get Ant and Dec in there

Double shite.
Think he started these videos for the world cup and then for each CL knock out matches last season and I'll be honest...I enjoyed them
What's his problem?
Guys today are so fecking cringe. Jesus christ
Good voice, to be fair.
If you just turned 40 you are a millennial.
First time in ages I switched off straight after full-time. Cannot stand listening to this unfunny try-hard clown.
Might as well cancel my Sky Sports subscription if he is going to be a regular pundit,

They don't have the money for a Sky subscription. Sky and subscriptions alike are aimed at people over 30.
Pretty sure he’s a regular now, so you’ll wanna cancel it ASAP mate.
