Jermaine Jenas delivered commentary from the heart as he witnessed the amazing scenes of our Champions League semi-final triumph over Ajax.

The beauty of it all was ‘JJ’ barely had to say a word, caught up in the moment, you could just feel the emotion.

He’s so biased towards us though and all good pundit offer a degree of neutality. Murphys a good example imo

I think he's one of the least biased when talking about his own team. He's often quite critical of us in fact and it's usually hard to argue with what he says. 'Biased' is Carragher, Macmanaman, Thompson, Saunders and every other scouser that gets near a microphone.

You seemed to have missed all the heavily biased Liverpool and Man U 'pundits' out there lol

IMO Jenas is brilliant, often provides balanced and detailed views, and subtly shows the inner workings of a players mind.
He's wonderfully articulate as well - in a nutshell the transition has been easy for him, you have to keep him props for that.

He interviewed Poch once for BBC Football Focus, at Spurs' training ground.
At the end Poch said to Jenas '....if you had been with me, let me coach you, you would've been (...and gestured 'finesse' with his hands)'

Man oh man would i have loved to have seen that - Jenas had all the makings of a midfield superstar - i'm certain Poch would've made him a world beater *sigh*

I often wonder about things like that, I'm sure he would have made the ginger pele into Ledley.

Yeah listen to him do a Liverpool game and say the same.

I think JJ's the best around these days. Neville might be better at the post match stuff, but I'd rather listen to Jenas during a match.

I think JJ is one of the best and amongst such a sea of biased dross, he's our very own little shining beacon.

It's still his fault though!

Don’t worry. I’m well aware of how biased the Nevilles, carraghers are etc

No way is JJ biased, listen to his reaction to the VAR controversy against City and the Moura winner against Ajax, none of this making orgasm noises down the mic and 'you little dancer' bollocks.

So in my defense I only watch motd 1. And refuse to listen to carragher, Neville etc on sky sports. Of those on motd one those that most regularly appear are jenas, Murphy, shearer and Wright. Imo jenas is the one who I enjoy watching least. That’s all.

Going back to my original comment, the point I was trying to make is that I really enjoyed the emotion he showed on our amazing win.

Madrid baby!!!!!!

JJ clearly wants us to win and we are his team. But the substance of his analysis is pretty objective.
