imavillan Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ryan bloody Giggs on MNF. Jeez, SKY really is a 'old boys club' brigade. Really looks after the 'network' Makes me sick/cringe. Trouble is i like football too much but the ones they have on the panel and so called experts of Merson, Nicholas, Thompson, Le Tissier do my head in. You watch Allardyce turn up on the panel soon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch Allardyce turn up on the panel soon!!!! I'm not sure how anyone watches any of the match punditry on skysports. Most of it is just clichés and analysis that's as deep as the shallow end of a baby pool. I turn over as soon as the Ref blows the whistle.

HanoiVillan Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The Guardian match report also said there were (some) positives to take from the game for City. I didn't watch it, so I don't know if it's nonsense or not, but quite a lot of people seem to be saying it wasn't as one-sided as the scoreline suggests.

villa4europe Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 the problem is that if you want to take positives from city playing ok and creating chances then you also have to emphasise how bad the errors were that lead to the 4 goals (and even the missed pen) the problem with that is the media arent interested in several of the errors, more than one of them by the world class £50m english CB, they are interested in 1 error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Anyone else listen to 5Live? Collymore was co-hosting and he was full of BS. Said that his one worry about Bruce was that if we lost a couple of games in a row the fans would turn on him because of his SHA connection and that he has to do more to impress us because of that SHA connection. For a so-called Villa fan it's pathetic hearing him spouting this mythical rubbish. Oh yeah, and he spent the entire show touting Allardyce for the Sunderland job despite having been sacked from the England job in disgrace.

Collymore is a terrible pundit regardless if he is a villa fan. Full of opinionated nonsense. Why did he leave Talkshite? It wasn't a protest move like Colin Murray over the Sky take over?

He seems to be living in some sort of parallel universe where RDM was given peanuts to spend. He should only be allowed on Final Score if he is in the background sitting cross legged on a cushion playing the Dube. Then I would watch it.

Surely that is better than pundits who sit on the fence and don'5 offer one because they don't have any (Owen) or they don't want to upset their mates (see all ex Utd and Liverpool players). Irrespective of if I agree with Collymore or not, I frequently don't as it happens, at least he has and offers his own views. As for Talksport, he was out of contract. A new one was offered and then withdrawn following the News Corp takeover it would appear because of his views on The Sun. So him being opinionated cost him his job, which is partly why so many others refuse to offer real views. I like him for having the balls to do so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 There are about a million things I don't like about Collymore, but his stance on the S*n makes up for the vast majority of them. Just in case it isn't clear, **** the Sun and **** their stupid campaign to get Lineker sacked for retweeting something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 23, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2016 While on the topic of Lineker did anyone else clock his opening to MoTD last night? He introduced Murphy and Schwartzer as being a pair of former cottegers! Murphy had a little grin at it. I'm sure it was unintentional but made me laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
