ITV bosses look away now. Their anchorman, Adrian Chiles, has been voted the most gaffe-prone football pundit this season.

The brummie had not one, but two ill-advised quips in a list of the top 10 most embarrassing football pundit gaffes this season, from talking abut the perils of upsetting Polish fans: "I’m trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful,” to promising anyone still watching Fulham's dire FA Cup replay with Sheffield United a crisp five pound note: "If you’re still watching, write in and we’ll send you a fiver each." Unsurprisingly, plenty of people took him up on his offer.

While Chiles was the only name to have two clangers in the poll, conducted by fantasy football firm Oulala.com, 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: "Who’ll win the league? It’s a coin toss between three of them."

Here's the list of this season's most embarrassing gaffes in full...

6. “If you’re still watching, write in and we’ll send you a fiver each” – Adrian Chiles at it again, this time promising anyone who was still watching Fulham’s FA Cup Replay with Sheffield United a fiver. Unsurprisingly plenty of people took him up on the offer (18%)

Oulala.com’s managing director Benjamin Carlotti said: “A good football ­verbal clanger never fails to make you smile so we wanted to celebrate some of the biggest slip-ups.”
