Bobby Robson

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Has anyone noticed how every time Bobby Robson is mentioned or talked about on any sort of sports programme, it is nearly always the same three things they say:

1) Bobby Robson has so much enthusiasm as such an old age

2) Bobby Robson bought Bellamy when everyone thought he was sh*te

3) Bobby Robson has done so well considering where NUFC were two years ago

Why is it always the same things that are said? Watch Goals on Sunday on Sky next time we have a Premiership game, there is a different guest on every week, and at least the last 6 guests have said almost exactly the same thing. Ian Rush, Bruce Rioch, Robbie Earle (on ITV) as well as others.

Obviously all of the three things are true, but surely we should get more for our money than a different person every week uttering the same lines over and over again?

4) He's a bit of a bumbling old codger.

Better than them ignoring us altogether or putting us down every week.

Not that much they can say, really.

He always sticks his tongue out before he gives an interview?

My point was, surely they should say sa bit more about the football than repeating the same lines about BR's age over and over again.
