Richards rudely snaps at Keane and Neville as he names the best pundit on TV
MICAH RICHARDS has risked upsetting some of his colleagues by revealing who he thinks is the best pundit on television.
The former Manchester City star left the pitch for the studio in 2019 and has since become a much-loved face on screens.

Richards, 35, has worked with various pundits at BBC’s Match of the Day, Sky Sports while covering the Premier League and at CBS Sports as part of the Champions League team.
He has shared the studio with the likes of Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Graeme Souness, Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy, Ian Wright and Thierry Henry.
But Richards is convinced Jamie Carragher is better than them all.
While discussing the popular, joke-filled style of CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage, he said The Athletics: “We have Carragher, the number 1 pundit in England.”
Carragher, 46, impresses viewers with his in-depth analysis of the Prem on Sky Sports, but takes a more relaxed approach on European nights at the American broadcaster.
Richards said, “He has to be kind of another Jamie on our show for the show to work.”
Carragher’s recent analysis of Manchester United made headlines when he criticized Erik ten Hag’s tactical setup as his side lost 2-1 to Fulham.
The Liverpool legend discovered problems with the team after just 20 seconds.

Carragher claimed: “They defend like a team I’ve never seen before.”
It led to Ten Hag hitting back and labeling him biased.
