There is nothing wrong with MOTD that plenty of Villa victories this season can't fix.

agreed, nothing better then watching MoTD after a good win..

Felt sorry for Carragher during his analysis on MNF!!! last night. He seemed nervous and uncomfortable standing-up and offering his insight after Gary Neville's go. Stuttered quite a bit and what he couldn't get out in words he seemed to be over-compensating in body-language - lots of gesticulating with hands and arms.

I much preferred Neville to do the analysis on his own - carragher was squeaking and squawking away and Neville struggled to get his points in - didnt work well together in my opinion.

Carragher was doing a good job of praising Villa though.

I'm never really sure whether midnight on Monday means the crossover from Sunday in to Monday (which is strictly the only midnight on a Monday - ie 00:00) or Monday in to Tuesday (which is the middle of Monday night).

You've got me confused now, 00:00 (or 00:01), is the beginning of a day, not midnight.
24:00 is midnight.

I felt for Carragher. No doubting his analytical knowledge and his passion for the game - he made some very astute points about the way our midfield coped with Arsenal attacks and how lame their defenders were against Gabby in particular. But his misfortune is that he has this squeaky little voice even when he speaks normally, so when he cranks up the passion his voice goes in the same direction, till there's nowhere left to go; it's wearing to listen to. A bit of speech therapy methinks would not go amiss.

His voice is so high-pitched, to translate it into sign language you have to stand on a step ladder
