The story in brief
10-second readIt’s difficult to be a good pundit in the current media landscape. Outrage gets the clicks, and there’s nothing more outrage inducing than someone talking absolute shite about your club, especially said person played for a rival club.

It’s difficult to be a good pundit in the current media landscape. Outrage gets the clicks, and there’s nothing more outrage inducing than someone talking absolute shite about your club, especially said person played for a rival club.
That said, despite occassional getting caught up in some media nonsense, Jamie Carragher is generally a pretty decent pundit. Regardless, the former Liverpool player got caught up in this one this week, and might need to call a lawyer if Aston Villa’s ownership is to be believed.
Villa are reportedly seeking legal action against Carragher for, as far as I can tell, speaking the truth about the Birmingham club and saying that Manchester United—the second biggest club in England—is a bigger club than them.
