Virtually every comment criticising him for not including any Forest players.

Comment off Facebook the other day - "If he were any thicker, he would set."

Poor old Troy, he probably can’t spell „Nottingham“.

In the NFL they have something called called the Broadcast Boot Camp, where prospective pundits (mostly ex-players) go to try out their skills. It's essentially a talent spotting exercise for the various broadcast networks, where only the outstanding candidates are picked up.

Over here we seem to say "he'll do" or "she'll do" without much consideration of whether they're a complete simpleton or lacking in charisma. It's bizarre to say the least.

TBF to Troy Deeney I think they caught him by surprise when he was first asked to pick team of the week. He said he can't understand why the lineup of Mean Machine can be chosen as he knows them inside out.

just happy to be here
The other week he had a player in from Wolves from the game against us. He did score a cracking goal, but didn't do anything else. I suspect he just watches the short highlights and that is all!

To be fair he was probably too busy telling a podcast host that Messi begged him to go to Barca but he didn’t go as he thought the Spanish league would be too easy.

What a nobhead. You could probably have guessed he was at Brighton v Ipswich at the weekend.

He's an idiot. He probably can't help it, he's from Birmingham. But why did the BBC choose him, what was the thinking?

We have a useless, deluded pundit who gets a lot of stick. Let's replace him with someone with the same profile?

He’s doing the job that the bbc want then, getting attention and clicks. They don’t care about it being an actual team of the week, just drive any kind of engagement.

Team of the week aside, I watched Deeney's analysis on a game a few weeks ago and to be fair it was top drawer.

Weird thing is, I don't especially mind listening to him always as a pundit. Passable for sure.

I get the feeling he starts putting together his team of the week 10 minutes before the submission deadline and just puts in any old shit.

Nothing to do with his team of the week but I can't stand him, one of the most arrogant footballers to ever play the game & generally he is a bellend of the highest order.

It's no surprise he's gone into being a Rent'O'Gob post retirement. He could never keep his gob shut as a player. When he was playing for Forest Green he was comparing himself to Harry Kane FFS and the way he goes on about his time at Watford you would have thought they were the Wimbledon of the modern day.
