MOTD

Micah Richards tries to turn everything into a joke . Then laughs at it like a hyena . Terrible pundit.

total wanker and very sad individual.

[Somniloquism]

What was the twat on about with “Shearer and his stats” when they came back to the studio for our match discussion?

[Pete3206]

Quite. Isn't that part of a pundits job?

Richards is terrible.

Who are you talking about here?

Villa Tim is not that bad.

[Rigadon]

I get people not being bothered about us flying under the radar. It’s true in a way.  But when it comes to January and we need top quality reinforcements at the same time as, say, Spurs. Well being under the radar doesn’t help too much. 

Check this out if your eyes can stand it:

They narrowly and undeservedly beat 9 man Liverpool at home. 

[Rigadon]

We won’t take the next step by flying under the radar and I get the sense that the players are ready for the pressure.  The manager certainly is. 

[Mellin]

Wilson been dismissive of us all season. Not sure how five wins and two losses at St James' and Anfield is inconsistent, but whatever. Fuck him. Villa are coming.

Wilson the Wingnut is a bellend who doesn't seem to rate Emery in particular, maybe because he doesn't wear trainers.

[Rigadon]

He has. We’re so inconsistent that we are behind only Man City in the calendar year.  I’m not bothered because I’m 12, I’m bothered because it keeps the glass ceiling nicely in place.

I will love it when we finish above Brighton and Spurs.  And Saudi Arabia. 

[KevinGage]

The Beeb have been jizzing all over Tottingham since the start of the season with at least one puff piece per week on the site.

Only right that Wilson follows suit.

I'll be more worried when these wankers start backing us.

[PaulWinch again]

We have been fairly inconsistent haven’t we? That’s something many of us fans are saying, if you look at the cup games as well. The difference is I can see us becoming more consistent whereas Wilson seems to be suggesting it’s a permanent state.

[Rigadon]

I’d measure consistency over as long a period as possible.  Like since Emery has been our manager.  The guardian football podcast billed our game v Brighton as the ‘battle for 8th place’. 

[AV84]

Postacoglu plays the game, he's a bit of a character, gives them the soundbites and click baity headlines they need. The results are going his way at the moment too which gives them another narrative to push, alongside the "life after Kane" angle.

Emery is a bit of a nerd (respectfully) who says the same thing every time he's asked a question. He's not marketable, he's not talking about the Fonz or doing sweary rants at his teams that go viral. He was poorly treated by the media last time he was in England, and he doesn't seem to be someone who naturally would want that attention anyway. As a manager he's amazing, providing weekly content for the 24 hour news feed, not so much.

People inside the football world are always more aware of what's going on than we might give them credit for. Come January we'll have had Emery for over a year, be halfway through our first full season with him, be challenging at the top end of the table, and still be in Europe (hopefully!) Any targets we have will be aware, or be made aware, of what we're doing, and they won't need MOTD or any other pundits to be doing that job for them.

[ChicagoLion]

Well said mate.
