It’s **** odd that people get so het up over the running order of MOTD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted April 15 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15 Just to present the other side of things, Phil McNulty from the BBC gave us a write up that is absolutely spot on. I don't usually like that much as he comes across as an arrogant SOB, but he nailed it this week and understands how good Emery is. Quote Emery's side carved out a huge result in the context of the chase for the top four, and no-one can begrudge them their triumph. Indeed, the victory margin should have been even wider. The visitors troubled Arsenal's back four throughout with Watkins rolling a finish against the post in the first half, before Tielemans' fine curling effort somehow stayed out in the second half - remarkably hitting the bar then the post. Former Arsenal manager Emery set his side up perfectly and was a whirlwind of activity in his technical area as he directed operations. It was all beautifully orchestrated. This entire performance was an illustration of Emery's expertise in galvanising Villa. It may have taken a stunning save from Martinez to keep them level in the first half but no-one should suggest this was any sort of 'smash and grab'. This was a hard-earned victory and totally worthy of how Villa played. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68754390 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 15 Moderator Share Posted April 15 Dele Alli genuinely worried me a bit, it looked like Sky were trying to help him, but he didn't seem entirely sure where he was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he hasn't watched Liverpool much and didn't know if Watkins goal was at 1-0. He doesn't love football or want it enough now, I expect him to struggle to get a club and probably retire.

We have our own game to play and as long as we win it, **** the usual media rocket polishers. 5 finals left. The coaches and players know what history is in front of them against the odds they fought all season.After yesterday even I wouldn't bet against them On to Thursday Yep. Even if we do get champs league, the only attention we'll get are things like, how long will they last. It will never end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His story he came out with to gain some support (as no one supports him for his football anymore) had no sympathy from me at all. We all have hardships chap, just many of us don't have the chance to set our families up for generations to come, boo hoo. Sky on frickin suicide watch or something. The anount of wasters been commentating on games lately is nonsence. Watching him is like watching a child. Has no emotional resilience. Lacks confidence in himself. He's psychologically ruined. Skysports shouldn't be giving him this platform: they might think they're helping him but it's counter productive. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work the other way as then the commentator is mentioning a match that they haven't shown yet. Don't be paranoid. Exactly this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would indicate he hasn't been paying much attention, if any, to the premier league. Which is fine, he doesn't have to... unless he's getting a gig as a pundit.

It's just clean sheets and whoever scored, so I'm guessing... Palmer, Isak, Cunha, Gordon, maybe a Man City midfielder since they scored 5, probably a Man City defender, Newcastle defender, think Gibbs-White got a goal and an assist... maybe a defender from Palace since they kept a clean sheet. Errrr... think I need one more player there... not really sure what else happened. Did Brentford beat Sheff Utd 2-0? Maybe a guy from Brentford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
