He's seen the market and is catering to it.

I'd say the market is falsely generated. I know of nobody that says "You know that Sutton lad? He's spot on". Perhaps that speaks to the sort of people I know. While I'd agree with you he's not daft, not in the classic lack of education sense, but he seems to be unaware that he's being used as tool by the press. He's certainly making his living out of it, it's not that he's unsuccessful, but then that's the Jeremy Clarkson comparison. Albeit Clarkson is less driven by others (pardon the pun) whereas Sutton is an absolute marionette.

The people who appreciate him aren't any I, or you, are likely to routinely meet. I expect they are non-attending Rangers/Celtic supporting, tabloid buying thickos. These are the diminishing market he and his employers are trying reach and hold on to.

I wouldn't call that minor.

The people writing such shite clearly have no feel whatever for their subject and can't be arsed developing one.

It's that bloody lack of care again.  It enrages me more than I should let it.

Out of interest, has Chris Sutton ever said anything relevant and/or true?

Absolute fucking walloper of a man. Rent a quote idiot, desperate for the attention. He is the Jeremy Clarkson of football. Living in another era, unaware that his tedious rants and pathetic opinions are being picked up because he sounds like a child whining about dropping their sweets rather than the cutting and incisive punditry he seems to think he's known for.

I'm sure he's worried about our opinions when he's looking at his bank balance.

Oh, of course not, it goes without saying, in the same way others can be the most odious c**t and still rake in tons of money. We only need to look 'across the pond' to see that.

It's not about money though, because if it was this whole thread would be a bust.

CHRIS SUTTON has ripped into the thousands of Celtic fans who protested outside Parkhead - branding them "self entitled arses."

An angry mob of supporters have gathered outside the stadium tonight calling for the board to quit and Neil Lennon to be sacked as manager.

The shattered Hoops were dumped out of the Betfred Cup by Ross County - further increasing the pressure on Lennon.

It means Celts have won just two of their last ten games - shipping ten goals in the process - and trail Rangers by 11 points in the title race.

Lennon's side have also been humiliated in Europe in what was billed as the club's biggest ever season, with ten-in-a-row at stake.

But with the historic title slipping away, and Celtic's campaign going from bad to worse by the week, raging fans have vented their fury at the board.

Celtic players were abused as they left the stadium and even required a police escort as cops formed a human shield in front of raging fans.

Hoops legend Sutton was left disgusted by some of the footage which has been shared on social media as he branded those responsible a DISGRACE.

Social distancing a new concept for these idiots or maybe they cannot count up to two.

I'm sure Sutton would argue he's using the press as a tool. He's clickbait gold for them, writes them a new headline almost daily.

It's outrage porn, which unfortunately is a massive internet market.

I never saw the game but I noticed Ronaldo scored two penalties. Was he much better otherwise? I am not a fanboy of either and I hate to see the way you apparently have to choose one.

Nope. Both had a couple of efforts at goal with Buffon making a great save from Messi. Apart from the two pens, Ronaldo didnt impact the match much. In fact, Morata was probably the best player on the night
