The most annoying thing for me was Gabby Logan on red button Final score saying ,when we were leading coming up to half time, "Have Villa shown how to play the big Teams?"I am fuming ..I used to like her but now she can go and %$##@##$%$%^

Spurs are the new Newcastle

We are a bit paranoid us Villains !MOTD could do with a bit of a shake up, but Spurs won, we lost - they always show more of the winning team.

From the current issue of Private Eye, Why do Villa fans worry so about how the lame presenters of MOTD portray us? The state of Match of the Day. The 46-year-old football highlights show is experiencing a sudden midlife crisis after a rush of attacks from media sporting figures. While the main people throwing the mud arc hardly impartial observers ¬Stan Collymore was sacked from the BBC for unusual uses of a car park and now works for rivals Talk Sport. while Brian Barwick is a former head of BBC Sport (and a former editor of MOTD) - the sticky stuff has stuck to an extent that should worry whoever replaces Jay Hunt as controller of BBC I.The basic problem is that, while one reliable weekly piece of wisdom from the pundits is the virtue of squad rotation. this technique is never applied on the MOTD sofa, where the BBC gaffers select a rigid I + 2 formation. with Garv Lineker a fixture (except for half-terms off in Marbella) and two from the three of Alan Hansen. Alan Shearer and Mark Lawrenson.These guys don't come cheap - the fees paid to Lineker, Shearer and Hansen make Chris Moyles look economical - but have fallen years ago into fixed routines. Lineker does laboured puns and Hansen glum horror at the quality of the defending. A sign of how tired these lines are becoming is that it's a good decade since both started being paid to send up these personas by advertisers, yet. incredibly. here thev still are trying to do it straight." Lawrenson. who seems once to have been told by a mate in the pub that he's a bit of a wag, franticallv scans team-sheets looking for players who have the same name as a figure in another field, So. regardless of how he plays. a defender called Wisdom is inevitably going to hear it said that he was "more like Norman Wisdom on that occasion. Garv", which Gary will ignore, being distracted by wondering whether the midfielder Felia can humorously be described as "a bit of an abject Felia today".Shearer at least doesn't try for jokes but. unfortunately. he doesn't really try for anything, relying on monotone recitation of hoary sporting litotes ("not the tallest". "not the quickest". "not the easiest") and bleedingly obvious psychology ("He'll think he should have scored").These limited shticks are made worse by the fact that they take place in such total isolation. This is the only panel show on TV in which the contributors never disagree with each other. partly because the show is structured as a series 0f monologues -- Hansen on the defending in the Spurs game. then Lawro on the Wolves set¬pieces and partly because they are all smug chums who play golf together when off-air,Add to this the presence of so many no-go areas left over from their playing days - Shearer can't be rude about Michael Owen. Hansen and Lawrenson can only critique Liverpool from the perspective of the club's greatness when they played for it - and it's rather as if Question Time were to feature four colleagues every week from the same party who were all at Oxford together.As the lads like to say: the manager needs to get some new talent in fast.
Once again Chelsea unleash the Drog on Arsenal
It's a visit to David Gold's house. He's shown us his FA Cup, the presenter has pointed out our name on it.He's wearing a diamante DG badge on his lapel.He's mentioned his helicopter.It's been on less than 60 seconds.

After last week's wine tasting, and tonight's Gold contribution, MOTD2 is rapidly turning into the so bad it's good category.
