Sky Man U love fest

[VillaAlways]

It was disgusting. Here them blame us for Young's diving is disrespectful and the club should make a complaint. Absolutely ridiculous commentary.

Lowly us,make a complaint against the mighty Man United Were more likely to send a letter of apology on behalf of Clark

[Chico Hamilton III]

And for nearly 2 decades Paul Scholes has been getting away with the kind of assaults that would have seen any other teams reduced to 10 men on a weekly basis.

Hearing commentators and pundits laugh off "another typical Paul Scholes challenge" when he's left an opponent rolling on the floor makes me want to put my foot through the fucking telly (and send the bill to Sky). You'd think after nearly 20 years that the dirty c*nt would have learned to tackle fairly. He could have crippled Gabby yesterday

Is it just me who thinks he gets away with murder every week? much like Robson used to do

This sort of thing has never bothered me, if we had gone up there and made a game of it instead of being the big bag of anti-shit that we were then we would've got some praise, with the way were playing you could have Ian Taylor, Nigel Kennedy and Wills as the commentators and they'd be hard pushed to find anything positive to say about us.

[Dave Cooper please]

no not just you Chico, studs up on the knee... shocking challenge and Halsey waived play on.....

[Summers]

Balotelli was lambasted for a similar challenge and people were calling for a ban. Scholes does it and it's not replayed, at all, ever. Because it's Scholes.

Considering my Sky Sports subscription comes in cheaper than my Villa season ticket I know which gives me far better value for money.  The cricket coverage, watching Barcelona every week and some top quality Champions League football – not to mention the odd decent game in the not-so-Premier League (watching the quality of Tevez and Aguero together on Saturday lunchtime was light years ahead of anything we ever see at Villa Park).

That said, the commentary on our game yesterday was utter shite. That guy does my head in whenever I hear him. And as much as I loved Yorkie as a player, he is embarassingly poor in his current role.

Like a lot of long-time football fans I hate the fact that our game is now slave to the TV dollar. I could make a stand against it by cancelling Sky, but I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face. And I'd be disowned by my lads.

I'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed the 'we love manure commentary'...

My favourite was when Evra rugby tackled Hutton towards the end and he said "quite clearly Evra was just trying to regain his balance"

Should get collymore on there to balance things up a bit!

[Concrete John]

Never mind Sky, what about the ref? The worst bit for me was when Clark went down with an obvious head injury and he let play continue as Man u were attacking. The second we got the ball back he stopped the game.

I did have one of my more 'colourful' tirades at the tele over that!

[Brend'Watkins]

Since when did 'Lovefest' replace the term 'Wankfest'?

That was fantastic. Arms around Hutton's waist.. and it isn't a foul because he lost his balance? What a joke.

[Dave Cooper please]

Wanking is generally done solo, this lot were definitely having an orgy.

[not3bad]

Well, I don't subscribe to 'em.  You don't miss what you never had.

[Risso]

Whilst we were appalling yesterday, and Man Utd quite good, as is customary, the commentary absolutely sickened me.  Every single Man Utd pass was spoken about as if it was Pele or Maradonna finishing off some exquisite 30 man move with a 20 yard screamer into the top corner.  Every single mention of a Man U player had the sort of breathless rising tone to it as if the commentator was approaching his vinegar strokes, rather than just describing Ashley Young going past Hutton again as if he wasn't there.

And I agree with Chico about Scholes's challenges.  Laughed off as if nearly crippling somebody is OK, because well, he's Paul Scholes isn't he, and he's always been crap at tackling, ha ha ha! 

[Fergal]

I am cancelling Sky Sports tonight, fuck them and fuck football.
