Troglodyte Posted December 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2012 Where were you in midweek, Andy? Might stick a tenner on Aeseanl this weekend. Albion Norwich have no chance against the mighty Gyunnaers. And the local derby between Watford and Hull will be a thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 A message for all TV execs, who work on football related shows, this weekend. Having two hard up, jobbing Manc actors, facing each other (one lit in blue, the other in red), bragging, and spouting clichéd insults at each other, while interspersed with pictures of Rooney, Tevez, van Persie, Kompany etc, to a soundtrack of Madchester's greatest hits, does not make a good feature for the Manchester Derby. It only serves to make the rest of us hate their over rated city even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted December 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just... stepping over... the big piles of jealousy... in here. Right, now I'm in. It's a game between two of the biggest clubs in the world. They're first and second in arguably the biggest league in the world. Not only that, but they're from the same city, and are huge rivals, with a lot of history. Now I know Sky can overblow things more often than not, but the games between United and City are massive, particularly these days. There's going to be a huge amount of coverage and marketing, but a lot of the stuff that seems insignificant to the likes of us will be lapped up by fans of either team (just like a lot of the 'news' that we're interested in regarding Villa matters would be completely uninteresting and irrelevant to the vast majority of other football supporters). If you (and I'm not just directing that at the post above) don't like the advert, fair enough, but again I'd say that's just down to personal taste. I'm not particularly fond of either club - although I do think City come in for much unfair criticism sometimes, but that's another matter - but, like Rev, I thought the advert was quite amusing.

dAVe80 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Not at all Rev, I'd have to care, to be "butthurt". I just find it terrible clichéd. If you enjoy Sky, the BBC, ESPN etc fawning over them, then good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 that was kind of my problem, i fully understand the significance of the game, its huge, it isnt the "title decider" tag that sky insist on but it is the biggest game in english football however that advert is an example of IMO a concerted effort by the media this week to make it out to be a massive local derby, how many times have you seen it compared to utd vs liverpool this week? id say that its just about scraping in to the top 10 derbies in english football but within 2/3 years it will be made out to be the biggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted December 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2012 It is a local derby. In terms of what's at stake, it's the biggest derby in the country. It could well be a title decider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
