Mike and I have been mad about football, for as long as I can remember. I could actually pinpoint a time when things got ‘real’ to the day when we had a sibling fight over a Match Magazine Mike had bought back in 1988!

Having established our range of educational Apps by Ibbleobble, we thought it was only natural that we worked on some football related Apps and over a period of time we have developed a brand called FootieTalks®. While we have some exciting bigger projects under the FootieTalks® umbrella, we have recently launched the second in our series of three animated sticker Apps called FootieTalks® Armchair Pundit, hot on the heels of our first App FootieTalks® Sofa Referee

We were a little bit excited about the Armchair Pundit iMessage sticker App as we wholeheartedly appreciate the work that goes in to football punditry. More often than not, I will receive a text message from Mike while Match of Day is on with a simple one-liner – “Great Hit” – referring to Alan Shearer’s accurate assessment of a game. We sometimes even send the same message simultaneously which not only adds to the humour of the nights viewing but is great sibling banter.

This provided us with great inspiration for this iMessage sticker App, which can be downloaded here.

To coincide with this release we have compiled our Top 20 pundit sayings and a bit of the story behind them… we hope you enjoy!
