Jimzk5 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 "you see how much of our analysis is copied by others on Sunday & Monday" Who's copying it Gary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2013 It's because their 'analysis' is "look at that striker there, he's running forward [forward pointing arrow appears on screen] into the space between defenders [empty zone of pitch is highlighted and defenders are circled, just in case you didn't know that they're the guys between the striker and the goal] then scores a with a lovely finish [other pundits agree in horribly laddish fashion]. He's curled it right out of the keeper's reach [in case you don't have eyes or are blind]." This kind of stuff is easily repeated when describing the goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 sky are surprisingly letting themselves down tonight, spent a fair amount of time talking about their surprise at Bayern's gamble about lahm playing DMC, ive seen Bayern about 4 times this season and he's played there (and looked awesome) every time when not talking about that they seem to be talking about muller playing through the middle its all a bit ITV hate it when people who get paid well to watch football talk like they don't (looking at you alan shearer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 To be fair to Shearer, his analysis has improved big time. He is no longer spouting obvious bullshit like 'if that team scores more then the other team then they win the game' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Shearer is dull, the anti-thesis of 'insightful' and frankly sits there with a this almost lazily arrogant look which says 'I'm picking up a handsome sum of money to chat shit off the top of my head and I'm happy to insult the audience by not even trying'.

blandy Posted October 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2013 To be fair to Shearer, his analysis has improved big time. He is no longer spouting obvious bullshit like 'if that team scores more then the other team then they win the game'It\s not his analysis that's improved as such, it's that he's basically (IMO) along with the rrest of the MoTD folk, been given a bifg kick up their smug, compacent backsides, by Neville on Sky. The mass, valid, slating of the cosy MoTD approach has obviously hit home.Shearer is clearly a canny man, you can't play football at the top for as long as he did without knowing a great deal about (in his case) strikers play, attacking moves and such like. I think he's also a qualified coach, or on the way to being.The slating of MoTD and his earlier "analysis" has finally drawn him out from the shell he used to adopt as a player of saying absolutely nothing interesting to the media.It's taken far too long.He's short of being as good as Neville, but at least he's revealing a few things now. Hopefully for the sake of making MoTD bearable, all of them on there will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2013 Does anyone else think that Carragher's involvement in MNF has made it a bit less interesting. Neville is that good i'm surprised they added another "expert" to the panel. Jamie wasn't really needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I presume stats fall under the media and punditry umbrella? They are useful but people put far too much weight into them. Exhibit #367 is West Ham's first goal against Spurs this weekend. It will go down as a Kevin Nolan assist despite the fact that the ball bouncing off of his arse actually prevented the goal being scored in the first place.

chappy Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Is there anywhere online you can catch up on MNF analysis of the weekend (the bit they do before the monday night game starts) other than segments which are uploaded onto youtube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Something that's really been bugging me all day is the coverage regarding the flare hitting the lino yesterday. All the media seem to report that the incident occurred at the Aston Villa ground, always implying that it was us. It's very rare that they mention that it was infact the spur fans who threw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's our ground so strictly speaking it's our responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 true but if was a Villa fan doing it at White Hart Lane im sure that would have been made very clear that it was Villa fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 That's just idle speculation and it doesn't change the fact that the home side are responsible for the crowd. It was a Villa steward who let the flare into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 22, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2013 I agree with Rev that it is AVFC's responsibility but I don't think it's that idle at the same time to suggest the London meeja would let everyone know the London club's fans didn't throw it. In fact it might be quite telling that the London meeja are not emphasising that very fact in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Gary Neville in conversation This is from the Edinburgh festival, some really fascinating insight from Neville into working under SAF and also into his new job at Sky. I hate that I like him so much, never would have imagined this when he was a player! Well worth an hour of your time if you have it to spare.
