ITV Presenter Adrian Chiles Makes Oulala.com's List Of Top Pundit Gaffes Of The Season Twice

ITV anchor ADRIAN CHILES has been voted the "most gaffe-prone football pundit this season," according to James Orr of the London INDEPENDENT. He had "not one, but two ill-advised quips in a list of the top 10 most embarrassing football pundit gaffes this season." The poll was conducted by fantasy football firm Oulala.com. Chiles said of the "perils of upsetting" Polish fans, "I'm trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful." He also promised anyone watching EPL Fulham's FA Cup replay with Sheffield a "crisp five pound note," saying, "If you're still watching, write in and we'll send you a fiver each." Plenty "of people took him up on his offer." While Chiles was the "only name to have two clangers in the poll," Sky Sports' MATT LE TISSIER took the "top honour of the biggest gaffe of the season with this humdinger of a prediction regarding the Premier League title race." Le Tissier said, "Who'll win the league? It's a coin toss between three of them" (INDEPENDENT, 4/10). Here is a link to the poll's full results.
