One example of the shit he speaks, and should again raise the qustion why he is allowed on the panel at these games :
Ian Wright's opinion on Steven gerrards blatant dive in the box to win a penalty....
''Its gonna happen to us so lets do it to dem''
An English journalist's view on Ian Wright and the BBCs coverage of this weeks England game..
"If there was one positive to be taken from Wright?s wailings on Tuesday night it was that anything is possible; having spent the last two years desecrating the role of 'expert pundit', Wright achieved the seemingly impossible by further debasing the job.
Sven's wholly-justified decision to jettison Wright's adopted son from England's World Cup 23 appears to have eroded whatever modicum of reason Wright formerly possessed. Displaying more twitches than that fella with Tourette's Syndrome in the Big Brother house, the palpably bitter Wright's sole contribution was to disparage Eriksson at every opportunity.
Pundits do not necessarily have to be objective, but it would make sense if they occasionally made sense. Suggesting, with a remark that disgraced the BBC, that Hargreaves owed his place "because he knows something about Eriksson's family," must be the final straw. Eriksson's view of Wright's own family has sent him over the edge.
The lack of objectivity in the BBC's coverage was startling.
Steven Gerrard may have tripped over thin air to win England's first-half penalty but at half-time, Wright suggested that Gerrard was within his rights to dive to win a penalty as "that's what they'll do to us at the World Cup." Err, that's alright then.
Hargreaves was subjected to a hatchet job that surely owed much to the fact that he plies his trade overseas. The Bayern Munich midfielder may not have excelled but he was far from being as poor as the BBC pundits suggested. Given editorial control, the contribution of any player can be devalued by a few suggestive replays. Having refused to acknowledge last week's match, Carrick is clearly the BBC's golden boy despite making twice as many mistakes in the opening half-hour against Belarus as Hargreaves committed on Wednesday.
How ironic that having been promoted by the BBC in a nod to race relations, Wright is apparently unable to see beyond Hargreaves as a Canuck or some sort of German infiltrator.
If it weren't for the blessed mute button, the next six weeks would suddenly take the form of a terrible ordeal".
