Every time we're doing well, all we hear from Villa fans is that the media doesn't give us 'credit'. Every time the media notices us and starts to give us 'credit', we start losing games. It's been happening for as long as I've been paying attention.

What is 'credit', why do we need it, and how - as Villa fans - are we supposed to feel once we have received the 'credit'? Will it make any difference to anything, to anyone, other than the Gods of football karma who continue to insist that all 'credit' must be repaid in defeats?

We don't want any fucking 'credit' (well, I don't)!

Agreed. I'd much rather we were last on every episode of MOTD and our title win next year come completely out of the blue.

Fucking wankers.

No analysis of the "pen"  just your typical Greedy6 obsessed focus on Spuds deficiencies.
The pen was insignificant in the overall match result, so did not require any chewing over.

Having Ian Wright and his son on was just weird. SWP was hopeless on it.

I like Ian Wright but you're right, it was weird. I've never seen SWP work as a match analyser anywhere else before, nice of the BBC to launch his career for him on their flagship show as a sop to his dad.

It's not what you know, eh?

Yep, cause SWP doesn’t seem to know much.

Don't agree. Shaun was pretty comfortable in the role, articulate and with decent analysis. I felt a bit teary when he casually referred to Ian as "Dad" a couple of times. It must mean that I want children.

I thought he was better at it than his Dad tbh.

I didn't so much care about us being on almost last, it was just the inane wankery about the high line, it was so pathetically lazy, and they literally did not mention us other than in that context.

That dodgy pen could ultimately decide who gets the Europa league spot. There's only 2 goals separating us and Spurs. The only reason it wasn't analysed is the fact that it was England poster boy Harry Kane who did the cheating.

MOTD only has time to analyse one main narrative from each team and the high-line thing is valid given we have employed it far more than anyone else in the league so I wouldn't be getting worked-up about not being praised and fawned over.

True. But not analysing that dodgy penalty for Spurs was a very deliberate omission.
