theboyangel Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Actually thought the MOTD coverage and analysis was pretty good tonighg, despite completely over looking Harry Maguire taking out McGinn on the halfway line preventing a counter attack that would be led to a shot on goal at least. Called have called OGS out a little for his post match sour grapes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 So on the BBC Football page I can see two articles relating to our game yesterday, both leading with a headline about OGS bitching about the penalty and offside. No mention of Villa in either. Had to check through yesterday's scores to find the write up and even that was more about Man U being shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t it him that started out as a commentator on channel 5 (uefa cup IIRC) and he used to mimic the Spanish commentators by screaming gooooooooooooooooooooooooal. Total idiot, have never liked him. Unless that wasn’t him and I’ve been doing him a disservice for the past 20 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if he went from there to channel5 or from there to the beeb. I guess you’re likely to be right about ch5, if you remember him from it. I think Pearce is generally ok as a commentator, but he can overdo stuff a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2021 Pearce was on Channel 5, that’s where I first heard of him. Not sure when I heard him on Robot Wars. My recollection is that people initially quite liked him at the time, or at least he was considered a breath of fresh air compared to Motson et al. I think it was because he sounded more enthusiastic and more like a “normal” football supporter compared to the trainspotter-esque Motson or the articulate Barry Davies.

Popular Post Davkaus Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 Quote Nuno Espirito Santo is asked by Sky’s Geoff Shreeves how important he thinks tactics will be. What kind of question is this? How would anyone who has ever seen football think it worth asking? And of all people, worth asking a coach? This is one of the most puzzling moments of my football-watching career. For what it’s worth, Nuno thinks “tactics is always important” and also that “it would be absurd for me to share my gameplan with you”. Then he’s asked how important mentality will be (“It’s important”) and the interview ends, before Shreeves can ask him how important kicking the ball is. https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/sep/26/arsenal-v-tottenham-premier-league-live?page=with:block-61508c248f08b6230668bb5a#block-61508c248f08b6230668bb5a 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always skim over key moments and often turn a blind eye to awful refs. That idiot Danny Murphy said we were lucky! The only thing lucky about our win is that we won against a team of 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
