Retrospective: Jamie Redknapp’s adventures in punditry

The pundit will literally [sic] be all over tomorrow’s Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, so what sort of penetrating analysis can we expect?

AS SON TO wheeler-dealer management maestro Harry, cousin to Saint Frank of Lampard and one half of the media construct that is Jamie and Louise, Redknapp the Younger is less an ex-footballer than he is a modern day renaissance man.

But where the giants of the past, like Da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin, were content to waste their time doodling and fecking around with kites, Jamie– snug in his tight, tight trousers– is content to dispense a unique brand of insight for little more than the cost of Sky Sports subscription.

Retrospective: Jamie Redknapp’s adventures in punditry
1 / 8
  • "Roy Hodgson has never worked with top, top players."

    Well, maybe not at Liverpool.
  • "If you're going to get in behind Rio... you've got to show him what you've got and then go in hard."

    He doesn't like it up 'im, apparently.
  • "He's literally left Ben Haim for dead there."

    Pictured: the ghost of Tal Ben Haim.
  • "Steven Gerrard makes runs into the box better than anyone. So does Frank Lampard."

    A comment only JR could make. Or Alan Shearer.
  • "Peter Schmeichel will be like a father figure to Kaspar Schmeichel."

    Makes sense; I hear they're both Danish.
  • "These balls now: they literally explode of your feet."

    Don't. Touch. The. Ball.
  • "Alonso and Sissoko have been picked to literally sit in front of the back four."

    Pictured: disobedient players.
  • "I'll be honest; I know nothing about [Alexandre Pato]."

    We're done here.
