Quote from: dave shelley on February 18, 2011, 09:30:30 AMWatched Tony Gale on SSN this morning creaming himself about Jack Wilshire on Wednesday night v Barca. and him only being nineteen. Someone should remind him that Sid was doing it in the old first division on muddy pitches firstly at seventeen and then as a regular at eighteen and was every bit as good and in my opinion better, than Wilshire is now and possibly likely to be. It's sad to think that Sid played for the wrong club in the eyes of the biased media, otherwise (broken leg apart) he would have been up there with those close to three figure cap holders.That's right, because pundits should always stop and think when asked to comment about a player "before I answer, can I possibly make reference to an Aston Villa player from more than 20 years ago? I mean, the player I'm being paid to comment on has nothing to do with Aston Villa - and you'd imagine that the people who are paying me probably want me to talk about the player I'm being paid to comment on - but I'd hate to be thought of as a Sky-4-wankfester by some paranoid Villa fans who are trawling the media for things to feel wounded about."

Wilshire who only made 11 passes in the whole game. Xavi who made 120.

Why do people get so worked up when the media praise anything other than Villa as though its some great big conspiracy?
