re: Does Dunphy actually know anything?
Does anyone out there actually believe that Dunphy actually knows anything about European football?
For example, when he is is watching a team, such the Dutch, he honestly doesn't seem to have a clue who most of the players are and what we should expect of them. Liam Brady, on the other hand, does seem to know his football and makes it clear in his opinions that he has been watching the European leagues, and not just the Premiership, all last season.
Yes, Dunphy is great entertainment and by all means keep him there. (I will definitely admit he was well versed on the 'Saipan' situation in the last World Cup, but that was about all.) But you really do need Brady and Irwin there otherwise Dunphy's hot-air would start to grate.
