MOTD

[tomd2103]

I caught a bit of Talksport earlier and Max Rushden was on (I honestly have never seen the appeal of him, just seems like a very average presenter who has managed to land on his feet a few times).  He was saying something along the lines of us being an average sort of team and "if you are a good side you beat Villa and if you are a bad side you lose to them".

So Brighton are a bad side then. Blimey. And so are Crystal Palace.

[Monty]

He had this line before yesterday, which made enough sense as a kind of exaggerated version of our season. But Brighton are a good team who we thwacked.

Listened to Stuart Pearce on Talk Sport on the way back from the game, he claimed that we were lucky with VAR, and the ball was rebounding kindly to us when we scored some of our goals - he said "it was just our day"

If one of the BIG 6 had beaten Brighton 6-1 SKY sports would have still been showing all the goals on repeat for the next week!

We get no credit at all.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s why I wouldn’t bother listening to Talksport. Their goal is to drive listening figures through hot takes that piss people off.

[Mellin]

Yep, it's their modus operandi. Footballing equivalent of Daily Mail. Sack it off and let it die.

[Ian.]

Like the Mail, The Sun and GB News, avoid like the plague.

[kippaxvilla2]

It all means we are becoming a threat and the regime don’t like it.

[Sexual Ealing]

I'd almost forgotten the best thing about us ever doing well is that our fans take it as a cue to unleash our collective inner passive-aggressive conspiracy theorist about the media having an agenda against us. Wonderful!

We sound like a fat neighbour who never gets invited to barbecues.

[LeeB]

It is amusing though, we beat Liverpool 7-2 and it was a freak result with lucky deflections, Spurs win against 9 men with an owl goal and laughably bad VAR mistake and it's the dawning of a cock shaped new age.

[Sexual Ealing]

They consider Spurs to be more interesting than us. I assume that's backed by data/viewing figures. And that Liverpool result got loads of coverage, and we got loads of 'credit'. I don't know what people constantly in the hunt for us to be given 'credit' are hoping to feel when we're given 'credit', but whatever it is, it won't make them happy.

[LeeB]

I don't much care regarding the general coverage, it's just the Spurs stuff I find amusing.

[PaulWinch again]

Just listened to the Totally Football Show and they got it spot on, all about the aggression of the press. That is absolutely what has been missing when we’ve had our underwhelming displays this season.

Yep, I said a week or 2 back the thing with this team right now is that when we're 100% we can can beat anyone but if we go into a game at 90% nothing quite works and I don't think it's just down to the team we put out.
