Was it Lawro who said our fans had taken football back to the dark ages after our pitch invasion against the Albion? I didn’t watch it on telly, I was too busy skipping across the pitch with thousands of other delirious Villa fans. What a twat. Obviously, I take that back of it wasn’t him.

I think that was McNalty

The commentator on TV was Jonathan Pearce I think, who came out with the dark ages guff. McNulty repeated the nonsense in the match report.

Was it not Jonathan Pearce on comms? Disappointing as he went to uni in Brum and it is thought he has an affinity with us. But he's also a windbag.

I remember Jonathan Pearce did all our UEFA Cup games in 97-98. He was bonkers.

McNulty barely qualifies as a football journalist, just churns out bland shit from club press releases on the BBC site. I can't stand him.

Also, Dan Roan. What a bland waste of space.

Randomly, he's my mate's brother. They don't get on.

Yes coincidentally he was season ticket holder in 80/81

I've read before that Pearce has a soft spot for us. Something like his Dad supported us or something like that.

He started doing BRMB / Capital Gold commentary which I thought was exclusively for us Midlander's as he always seemed to be on our games.

In France League it's  illegal to have player release clause fees.

Before that he was Capital Radio's sport correspondent when Capital Radio was a London only thing (There's a tower in the heart of London) he was a loon, I hated his commentary and punditry, a shouty gobshite.
