MOTD

[tomd2103]

Commentator on about conceding from corners but forgets to mention all our defensive injuries. Twat.

But we have been poor defending from corners for most of the season.

Not just set pieces really.  We haven't defended awfully, but have conceded a lot of soft goals this season in general.

[Somniloquism]

The stat on the US broadcast mentioned with Torres our average goals per game conceded is 1, without him it’s 2. Not sure if that’s correct, but shows how important he is.

Yes, but he was on the pitch when we conceded from the corner. And we have let others in against us whilst he has been on the pitch. The stat is we have conceded from lots of corners which (apart from Mings), I don't think is dependent on certain players being present or not. I would argue we haven't scored enough either considering we have players as good at delivering the ball as Rice at Arsenal. Both might be down to the same reasons of poor tactics or no dominant heading player or other things.

Yes. We are keeping the Mings "ooh shiny" moments alive this season even if he isn't playing currently.

Ian Wright referring to Arsenal as "we" and "us"?

[Brazilian Villain]

9 goals conceded from corners , only Sheffield Utd and Burnley have more. Austin !

Are you saying we need a six million dollar man in defence?

Ian Wright referring to Arsenal as "we" and "us"?

Not surprising really given his time and success there. McInally always did that with us on Sky, and others have too.

[eamonn]

Might watch it tonight, let's see where we are in the running order and which twats are in the studio tonight.

Just enjoy it, there isn't a grand conspiracy at play to down Villa at every turn

That's exactly what they want you to think.

Matt le Tissier and Rickie Lambert in the studio to tell us how the WEF are forcing vaccines on journalists to make the media love Spurs so much.

Blimey, has Rickie gone rogue too?

Never heard it on MOTD though.  Even Danny Murphy refrains from that.

Yeah, 'Wrighty' does it a lot. It's annoying (and unprofessional).

I would be amazed if he hasn't at some point. I don't really care though, they have a deep affinity with a club, crack on.

Yeah, radicalised by lockdown. I've seen him on a podcast with a bloke who sees words as numbers, so he'd say something like "you were destined to become a dad because 'dad' is the number 9 (4+1+4) and you were a number 9". That sort of shit. Also, if you want a laugh, Google 'Rickie Lambert water'.

Why is it unprofessional? He's a known arsenal fan, so surely he should just say it? Don't get why anyone would pretend. I quite like it tbh as it gives it a bit of personal edge which is much more entertaining

He's a pundit not a current player. I don't hear Shearer, Murphy, Dion or Richards doing it with such regularity (despite them being fans of their respective clubs) but if you like it, then good for you.

I agree with BV.

I can't say it bothers me as such, but when you're on BBC1 it shouldn't be too much to ask to pretend to be doing your job in an impartial fashion.

I like Ian Wright, but his chumminess with Arsenal should be treated the same as any other bias. Tone it down or fuck off.

[Flamingo Lane]

With Wright I get the feeling that he knows that him displaying his bias annoying, which is why he does it.
