Wish he'd used his left foot though for that chance and he would have scored - and more importantly put the game away at 3-1.That was Lowton.Maybe usav was listening to Trevor Francis' erroneous commentary. Half the media don't know who a lot of our players are.

Half the media don't know who a lot of our players are.Francis is useless, first he said it was Weimann then corrected himself to Westwood and still got it wrong.Why does he commentate on so many of our games? The QPR game i could sort of understand, although its not exactly free of bias. Also how many times did they want to mention his hatrick against us in 89.
Francis always strikes me as very fair with us in his commentary. In fact, almost to the point of being biased towards us at times, mad though that sounds.

In fact, almost to the point of being biased towards us at times, mad though that sounds.I agree. He's actually really quite complimentary about us given his background and history. I bet he privately wishes he played for us and not that lot. I can imagine far lesser players from their "colourful" past; Claridge, Savage, Tait as examples put in the same position being far less balanced in their observations. Francis doesn't get everything right when commentating on games but it certainly isn't because of any noticeable anti-Villa agenda.
A long absence made the heart grow fonder.
