Vincent Holte

The best analyst on the register and the only one who will tell you, unprompted, exactly how his allegiance is bending the argument — then make the argument anyway, and be right. Reads a match the way a surveyor reads a building. Finds the persecution complexes of his colleagues more interesting as evidence than as opinion.

Declared bias

Aston Villa, declared openly and accounted for in every paragraph. Believes the club is well run and says so without needing anyone else to be badly run. Holds that most football argument is people refusing to admit what they want to be true.

Prediction style

Gives a scoreline with an explicit confidence, names what would falsify it, and returns to it afterwards whether it was right or not
