Gale was on SSN saying we were looking better because we had dropped the foreign players. That just about sums up his comments.

Another member of the old boys club. We need more 'honest' British players like Hutton & Richardson according to them and promotion from the Championship is only possible if you apoint Allardyce, McCarthy, Warnock or some other washed up British manager. Utter bollocks.

What foreign players have we dropped? I really don't believe some of the dross some people are paid to come out with.

They are basically bone idle.  They churn out pap because they have neither the intelligence or the energy to do anything else.

I didn't realise Cissokho, Okore, Bacuna, Gil, Gana, Veretout had now got British passports.  How does that prat Gayle get paid to be interviewed?

Guzan. But I'm guessing that's not what he meant.

Coming up after the break, even more clueless bollocks from a washed up ex-pro who's willing to sound like a bellend on national TV proving he had more in his feet than between his ears. Also the clueless vacant staring blonde next to me has done a photoshoot for FHM in which she reveals she has more in her bra than between her ears.

Sky Sports News, the home of brainless automatons and the promotion of Premier League corporatism.

Because he's a prat who deals in "easy narratives", "consensus narratives" and utter f##king bollocks that fits the media agenda. He could just as easily be reading it from a script.

Media darling Nice but Tim gets sacked.
Nice but Tim starts spouting about how he never wanted the players signed from France.
Nasty Villa then have the temerity to appoint a "not a proper English relegation fighter". Even worse he's French.
Poor form continues - it's that French blokes fault, plus all those French players. - Ignore the fact that they're barely getting a look in.
Form starts to turn around - It must be because he's starting to pick the good old British players - Ignore the fact that where possible they've been dropped for the foreign recruits.

Future narrative - Any upturn in form, glimmer of hope etc, must be because the stupid Frenchman has finally seen sense and has dropped all those nasty foreigners and started playing the goold old British pro's.

The one slight positive I can take from being relegated is that I will dispense with Sky sports and wont have to suffer all the crap that is spouted by average one time players....but that won't be happening because we will get the 7 wins and a couple of draws that keeps us in the division.

The biggest problem I have with them is that virtually none of them speak from a position of authority.  Neville on Manchester United - I kind of get that, Carragher on Liverpool, definitely understand that.  Merson on us - sort of.  But Tony Gale on Aston Villa?  His only tenuous link to us is getting sent off in a Cup semi final at Villa Park once. I will give him this, he is fair minded during his commentaries.  People who speak about us that have no clue as to the inner workings are the likes of Le Tissier (fabulous player, garbage pundit), Nicholas (still smarting from his mate Lambo getting the sack), Jermaine Jenas (what a fcukin chump), Savage (massive wind up prick), Ian Wright (stick to Arsenal mate).

After doing his research Gale meant for the Norwich game, Garde saw sense to drop Amavi, Traore, Guzan, Kozak, Ayew and Gestede. That's why we won.
