Hee haw... Patrick Kinghorn....

Has anyone seen Patrick Kinghorn on ESPN Star... He appears on Football Forecast and occasionally pops up on Nokia Football Crazy. Well, some of you might have seen my last entry on the clueless Shebby Singh. Kinghorn is just as clueless but hey... the guy has got some entertainment value.

Catch him on TV and you probably wonder why the heck a British clown is on a sports channel. He speaks with a shriek in his voice, talks way too fast especially with that thick British accent, makes way too many biased judgments i.e. he hates Rafa Benitez, and if you see his track record in forecasts, you wouldn't bet a dollar based on what he says, but of course in any case you should never trust any pundit with their over-eager and "I have nothing to lose" comments. And of course, he likes to make cheap monkey remarks, and make passing comments bordering on flirtatious with Jamie Yeo, the only female football "commentator" on TV.

Frankly, ESPN Star at least got the cast right this time. I suggest keeping Kinghorn limited to comic relief. His clown antics strangely has a hilarious and honest effect on the usual pundit reviews which always seem to suggest that they know everything except of course nobody does. So I say "Stop confining Patrick Kinghorn to a small screen on the wall !!" I mean seriously, have you ever seen a clown restricted to just performing with his facial expressions and animated voiceover. The poor clown will pass out in no time.

If I may boldly suggest to ESPN's producers, replace Shebby Singh with Patrick Kinghorn on Football Focus with John Dykes. Pull that guy down from London and station him in Singapore. For sure, its a step forward... Anyone with me??
