Surely Barnes is too arse for Loughran?

Voting closes at midnight on Friday.
 
John Barnes once scored a great goal for England against Brazil - and two weeks later opened a shop for me in Wavertree (Liverpool). I would put up a picture of John Barnes and me but I realise that I've overdone the "somebody and me" pictures over the years...

Let's see it anyway. He may have a horrid suit on!! Statto for me.
 
I don't know nuffin abaht Barnesy (he's a footballer, so he's got to have a daft 'y' after his name), but in the good-looks stakes, he takes all the contestants in the Arse Cup by a country mile, so no, can't be 'avin' 'im maligned like this.

Statto looks like a superannuated bulldog that's lost most of its' teeth (come ON! You're paid a bloody fortune and you can't afford a trip to the dentist??), has a voice that could replace lethal injection as a method of execution, and the overall charisma of a custard tart. Nooooooo contest at all!
 
Omigod, not BO as well? That completes the picture of "Dates from Hell", doesn't it? I work with someone occasionally (a male) whose armpits are far from charm pits, and keeps refusing my frequent offers of Polo mints to freshen up his tuna sarnie breath. On the upside, I ain't married to him!
 
John Barnes was a naturally gifted footballer, and stato looks as though he should go around in his spare time dressed up in an SS outfit strutting around like an extra from a Mel Brookes film. You decide...... B)
 
The 'In Running' book with Shadow Leader Turf Accountants currently goes like this - Loughran 4/6, Barnes 11/10....
 
Hmmm..

Barnes - tasty; Loughran - bleugh ; Barnes - tasty; Loughran - bleugh :Barnes - tasty; Loughran - bleugh ; Barnes.... B)
 
It looks as if the non-racing arses are all going out.

Does this mean that racing broadcasters are more arse than those in any other sport, or that racing fans are more biased against their own broadcasters?
 
This is a mismatch - John Barnes was a professional footballer who showed glimpses of brilliance without being consistently world class, as such his ineptness as a sports presenter is almost endearing; Angus Loughran is a man who wanted to be famous so much he put on a pair of pyjamas and let a couple of prats (Baddiel and Skinner) who are about 1% as funny as they think they are, take the piss out of him, before conning Clare Balding and the BBC into thinking he is a shrewed professional gambler to land their betting pundit's job.
 
Ian, you're reading far more into this than us ladeeze care about: one's a tasty geezer, and the other's a lump o'lard. No contest, dearie.
 
"X has come in a point. Y has gone out a point. The rest are the same. Back to you Clare". How inoffensive is that? This poll is a travesty.
 
I dunno that women should have the vote when you get a result like this.

Outrageous.............
