villa4europe Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 9 minutes ago, It's Your Round said: I thought the MOTD ‘analysis’ was piss poor! Murphy acknowledged our injuries at the back which is the bare minimum, no mention of who was out or how long for. The narrative was we scraped through and our performance wasn’t pretty, no discussion about the disallowed goals or penalty claim. Just rubbish really, but then I need to remember MOTD isn’t for the likes of us on here that consume football at a deeper level. It’s for the casual observer who probably can’t name a full 11 of any team.

VillaJ100 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) On the 'Football' page on the Guardian website, our match report is the 19th listed article, just above Celtic v Kilmarnock's, and below Championship round-up, the Arsenal-Man U WSL report, an article about Rodri, and an article about the f******* Baltic league.

Our game was a humdrum 2-1 win. The team you would expect to win won. None of the goals are goal of the season contenders. We're not in the title race, or the relegation battle. It's all fine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted February 18 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18 I was surprised at how positive Danny Murphy was about Villa on MOTD. He is usually extremely negative and dismissive but he actually came close to complimenting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I’ve got no problem with where Villa were in the running order, and I don’t think there’s a huge conspiracy against us. I think I just can’t stand Murphy, he’s rarely got owt good to say about Villa and he’s boring af. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never forgiven us for sacking the best manager on world football and replacing him with an okay average manager and were benefitting from the Scouse geniuses groundwork as the players let him down and wouldn't look him in the eye.

rodders0223 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The media have got it in for us, despite them absolutely putting the boot in and revelling and making their money off when Arsenal, Chelsea and United lose. The content surrounded a United loss is honestly putrid. But the media favours them so much and is desperate for the top 4 to remain the top 4....

I agree, but you'd expect even some analysis of the game. Motd last night was a comment about our injuries, followed by shay given saying villa fans will be pleased by the win.

MOTD viewers don't care about Aston Villa, most of the target audience are scum 6 armchair fans that don't go to the games, or fairweather fans. So they are going to put more analysing into these games. Face facts we are not a big club in the eyes of the media. The fairweather fan couldn't give a toss about us. I bet if they do a poll now (with the pundits) with who will finish top 5 they will all say Spurs and Utd to get 4th and 5th. But when we finish top 4 they will all say its because of a poor season from Spurs/Utd/Chelsea, not that we have played some absolute fantastic football.
