He's trending today and opinion online seems to be fairly split. Wondered if it was the same here?
For some he's funny and brings some energy and joy to what can sometimes be a bland punditry offering.
For others he's obnoxious, excessively loud, a bit of a clown and a one-trick pony who laughs at everything without cause.
I personally think he's like the current crop of YouTube pundits who are constantly looking for "reactions" which they can push out on social media to get fans arguing / laughing / tapping into that tribalistic nature and keep the machine going and growing etc. I think Sky have deliberately spotted and amplified this and Richards plays up to it. Which is a shame because he ruins plenty of serious moments (mainly the Monday Night Club on 5Live when he stops sensible people like Rory Smith mid-flow).
You could see yesterday that Neville was exasperated at him for just shouting random illogical questions back to him and taking things out of context.
PS, I also saw Jamie O'Hara trending again this morning at the same time for being an absolute pillock. Maybe that's what it's all about in the end.
