I saw this in teh Fiver the other day

THE GOOGLE AWARD FOR MOST INSIGHTFUL TELEVISION PUNDIT

Match of the Day's Alan Shearer, who surpassed his own lamentable standards by describing Hatem Ben Arfa as "a young lad who's come in, no one really knows a good deal of him", when asked for his thoughts on the France international who helped Marseille win the French title after arriving at the Stade Velodrome from Lyon in an ?11m move. Alan Shearer hails from Tyneside, managed Newcastle United briefly and used to play for them. He is understood to be paid ?500,000 per annum for his match analysis by the BBC.
