Football Focus Watch

[paulcomben]

Why didn't I think of this weekly topic before? Nor start taking notes? Villa have not been featured at all this season, as far as I have seen. Man United usually get at least 10 minutes a week. Not this week, obviously, because they are playing... Er, um...

I never watch it anyway - gave up expecting anything interesting from the media years ago

I sometimes flick it on if I'm around and not busy. A couple of weeks ago they had two blokes from some American band predicting some scores. They had us down to lose by a couple at Southampton then remembered we had an American keeper and changed their prediction to nil nil.

Used to watch it when I was young but now they concentrate on the top 5 or 6 for the most of the show. Sometimes they will throw in something about a plucky lower league club so, I stopped bothering with it.

Used to be ok in the days of bob Wilson - rarely watched it since.

A while ago there was no choice other than FF but now it's a bit part player.

I started to watch it today but turned off after about 10 minutes.

David Sullivan appeared and made a tit of himself, for a change.

Stopped watching it years ago. Football is not a difficult game to understand - I don't see the purpose of Football Focus anymore, and its presented by people with the personality and presentation skills of a polished turd. The bleeding obvious is no longer a focus for my gaze.

I prefer Saint & Greavesie.

Thanks, fellas. Interesting if unexpected straw poll. If real footy fans aren't watching the BBC's licence fee funded flagship football preview show, what are they thinking? I feel a letter to the DG coming on.

Dion Dublin mentioned Kevin McDonald,Tony McAndrew and Gordon Cowans as helping him through his goal drought of 13 games by telling him to keep doing what he was. He didn't actually say Aston Villa though, so we didn't get a mention, again. 
Let's be honest we aren't really worth talking about at the moment,  a mid table team that is inconsistent, we probably get as much air time as we deserve.

Well, yes, but our experiment in going from spending like an ambitious team to surviving in the PL on a budget with unknown players is interesting. If financial fair play is a serious plan from the authorities. And 16ish weeks in to the season, every team deserves at least one feature.

Garth Crookes today presented a feature on the match fixing flare-up. He is so annoying that it was almost tempting to side with the corrupt cheats who are ruining our game. Now, he is on Final Score doing his usual over-sincere bollocks spiel.
