Merson looks dejected after that City result.

I feel better now.
Merson should not be let anywhere near so called punditry roles on a national stage. His lack of objectivity as far as talking about Spurs are concerned was there for all to see, the difference in his ability to be objective and Dawson’s was gaping and embarrassingly clear.
He’s basically an AFTV fan boy and as biased as some of those idiots with the only discernible difference being that he actually played professional football in comparison to the bellends on AFTV who mouth off horseshit by the truck load.

Same goes for Martin Keown but he doesn't have the excuse of the booze and drugs frying his brain, I think he's just a bit dim, and weirdly bitter despite his success.

Keown is an odd one isn’t he. Very softly spoken and articulate, but completely blinkered and like you say with an edge of bitterness. Maybe because he wasn’t seen as one of the “legendary defence” he was more of a back up to the likes of Adams, Bould and Campbell.

While Merson is thick, he at least seems an amiable chap who is nice enough, same goes for the likes of Ray Parlour and Tony Adams when I’ve seen them on things.

Keown though, like you say seems bitter.

Not meaning to sound condescending but have you actually watched him other than today, he had been really frustrating most of the times i have seen him play this season. He has 5 goals and 0 assists in 19 matches. Brennan has 5 goals and 7 assists in 26 matches in the league.
that's slightly misleading as madueke has only played 700 minutes to johnson's 1900.

he does need to be more decisive where it matters but i'd put the two on a similar level when it comes to potential.

Keown takes himself far too seriously. I doubt he would ever laugh at himself.. He tries to portray himself as some polished intellect, when in reality, he's as thick as shit. I love it when Simon Jordan blatantly takes this piss, but Keown doesn't quite get it.

Brighton seem to have packed it in for the season then and their next four games all against teams trying to get a Euro spot..
Also who they going to sell next to try and pay off Mr Bloom.

He wears those glasses and takes copious notes when it’s not his turn to speak, in order to project that very image. Be interesting to see that notepad of his, as I doubt there is much enlightenment on there, if in fact we could read it.

At some point this magic formula of buying cheap and selling to Chelsea for a ridiculous profit is going to come unstuck and I can see them falling very quickly when it does.
