The Match of the Day Thread

[Chris Jameson]

The MOTD highlights didn't make any comment about the fact Baker was booked so early in the game and performed superbly for 85 minutes with the threat of any mistimed challenge seeing him getting a second yellow.

[Somniloquism]

But then they and all the reporters didn't raise the laws that state a manager cannot come onto the pitch and speak to the referee or that they cannot approach the referee until a 30 min cooling off period after the match. They decided to say they couldn't tell why he was sent off especially as Gabby and Lambert were on the pitch so agreed with the Mewling one.

Just read that Russell Brand is one of the pundits on MOTD tonight, rendering it even less watchable than usual. Thanks Sport Relief. Thanks so bloody much.

To be fair even Horne and Corden might be an improvement on Shearer and Savage.

Can't stand Brand. Think I'll record it and fast-forward through the talkie bullshit bits

The only thing those talentless tossers would be an improvement on is a serious venereal disease. At least we'll be able to laugh at Brand as his beloved Hammers continue their slide toward mediocrity under Old Bighead.

I predict epic Claypolean bullshit.

“I did ponder if perchance my beloved ‘Ammers might deign to dignify this ‘ere auspicious afternoon with a performance of a sort which you might desire to scribe home about, but alas it unfolded a debacle of a type of what a doggy might like to call his dinner, Gary…”

[martin o`who??]

Match of the day plumbed new depths this time, the inclusion of that pretentious, sneering, attention-seeking little prick Russel Brand finally killed it off as a serious football programme for me, people like Savage are bad enough, but at least he actually played the game, Brand was nothing more than self indulgence on the part of the BBC. I hate the BBC on so many levels and this was just another low for me.

Anyone know what Owen Coyles "joke" was on the credit on saturday.  I heard the punchline had yeharr in it.  My Dad tried to tell me over the phone, but he is the worst joke teller of all time, and i started to feel like putting my own thumb through my eye rather than listen to anymore

[Dave Javu]

Something like:

"I went to the doctor and told him I've been feeling like a cowboy"

Doctor says: "How long have you been feeling like that for?"

"About a YI-HAAA!

[Tayls_7]

I noticed none of the Villa boys featured in Garth Crooks' Team of the Week. Not even Sylla. Know nothing twat!

[class_of_82]

I propose that all villa fans boycott walkers crisps yea even cheese and onion till that smarmy linker is removed from m.o.t.d.

Michael Owen then

Lawrenson's shirts are getting increasingly bizarre. Did he wear that one last night, complete with Harry Hill style collar, for a bet?

[MoetVillan]

Have you noticed that Flannagan (Liverpool left back) looks the spit of Lawrenson.  And born only a few metres from Anfield.  Lawrenson is always raving about him.  Almost like a Dad would....
