Odd as it may sound to some, I'm a Villa fan, not a "football fan". In much the same way someone may characterise themselves as a, say, Bowie fan or a Black Sabbath fan rather than a "music fan". I think a big problem I had was the commentary and media, id had enough of it, made casually watching games unenjoyable because its 2 hours of garbage being spouted of you living abroad and now with different commentary teams I might pick it up again, off to watch the villa in german I think, watched the playoff game vs the baggies in dutch and it was honestly more enjoyable than watching sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be against it. I'm not saying they change what they're doing though. Operate it in the exact same way, just take away that stupid phrase which confuses everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't pay me to watch Match Of The Day and hearing that word removed Tyldesley parroting "Beckham territory" any time there was a free kick within 40 yds of goal made me want to reach for some pliers to start pulling my own teeth out to dull my senses to what I was being subjected to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Not entirely convinced that should have been a card for Mkhitaryan there.
