MOTD

[purpletrousers]

Just realised from the credits might not have watched it all season, it used to be a favourite thing for little AV, me having to name all the teams from the symbols.

So I quite enjoyed the Aston Villa show as MOTD2 felt for the first 3/4; lovely to have an extensive interview with Ollie front & centre.

I saw a pic of Deano interviewing the Maestro somewhere, presume this was from the live broadcast is there any link anywhere?

[edit - sorry just found it in the Unai thread]

Bit gutted I didn’t go today, but the girls loved  (and I loved seeing them enjoy) theatre aimed at 2-5yrs ‘Wow! Said the owl’. I can’t be accused of always dragging them to football at least!

It was a refreshing change and a welcome reminder of what football coverage could be if only it withdrew its head from the arses of the anointed few.

I like Jason Mohammed, and even Jenas made sense. Ben Mee, we can overlook.

Just think, we could have something like that almost every weekend, instead of the usual overly-long highlights of Man City & Liverpool, followed by the post-match interviewers teabagging our best chums, 'Pep' and 'Jurgen'.

I hadn't realised it was Ben Fucking Mee when I saw them, if I had he'd have had some right pelters.

BBC Villa coverage again... not forgetting that Ollie has never played a full game for England but has 8 appearances and 3 goals...

Anon: If anything was to happen to Harry Kane before the Euros is Ollie Watkins a natural replacement? He seems to score goals for fun with Villa but never seems to replicate it for England.

I think this is probably something England manager Gareth Southgate does not even want to think about but I do still think Ollie Watkins has to prove he is good enough at international level.

He is, however, a very fine player and is doing his chances no harm – still a bit to prove for England, though. His winner in the friendly against Australia should lift his confidence.

I don't like it when they have current players on. They asked Mee what he'd have done differently for the Watkins goal. "Tried to get a bit tighter" was his reply. Bullshit, gone through Watkins with a horrendous leg-breaker you mean, twat.

Was that ghost written by Gareth?

I was thinking that. They mentioned he was getting back to fitness and I was also thinking "Fuck, that means he might be playing against us".

Same here, really like Jason Mohammed as a presenter and Jenas was fine apart from the strides he was wearing. Ben Mee's been on MOTD2 a couple of times and I'm not sure why they have him on as a current player. Leaving the Wesley incident aside, he simply hasn't been very good and it felt that Jenas was helping him through the analysis yesterday.

Mee is on R5Live pretty regularly.

[VILLA MOLE]

Mee is on R5Live pretty regularly.

are you ?  ,  sorry i will get my coat , also I still hate Mee 

[frank black]

Mee is on R5Live pretty regularly.

I read that with the voice of Jar Jar Binks.

Just watched on catch up in between conference calls. Being the only game meant they could do some proper analysis - well compared to normal

[jwarry]

I hope Ollie wasn’t giving away too many secrets there!

When we beat Brentford at home 4-0 last year I spent the afternoon giving Mee dogs abuse. I only found out after the game that the blond centre half wasn’t actually him but another player. In my defence we were on the very back row of the upper Holte.

Wish they would shut up about “The Big Six” whether we’re included in that club or not.
