He’s done it again!
Paul Merson is making something of a name for himself as the worst tipster in football.
You would have lost very heavily if you’d followed his predictions for the FA Cup third round, and it also seems that he has trouble identifying Thierry Henry’s nationality.
Then there was his frankly bizarre valuation of Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
And this afternoon he was asked for his prediction for the Everton vs Manchester City match at Goodison.
Have a look at this (and keep in mind that the Toffees hammered City 4-0, with local youngster Tom Davies getting on the scoresheet).

Another winner, Merse.
And typically, Twitter was sympathetic.

Poor old Merse.
