So passion, average understanding of the game, and difficulty expressing his views. That sounds like Joffa in a cheap suit to me.
You're probably right, which to me speaks to the poor quality of football journalism on the whole; A traditionally bad journalist is still an award winning one and one that I prefer to most others. Think you're underselling his knowledge though.

Would still rather the passion of Robbo than the douchebag superiority of a Jon Ralph.
