MOTD

[Toronto Villa]

In their eyes we are not part of the big six. We are in the top 6 which is inconvenient for them. They are creaming themselves at the thought of Chelsea trying to get back in and would love Man U to be a part of it. Us, Brighton and Newcastle are a pain to have to discuss.

[Ian.]

It’s such a fabricated load of bollocks

[Rory]

Yep, I was quite pleased when Ian Wright twice referenced Chelsea's performances against 'the top six sides'. Not that I believe in such crap, but to hear him refer to Chelsea and the 'top six' being distinct entities.

Then they bollocksed that by putting up that 'Chelsea vs 'the rest of the big six'' graphic. And then to joke "soon to be a big seven, Alan" to Shearer, who to his credit didn't respond.

Ian Wright didn't know Douglas second name and had to be prompted, arrogant twat

60 year old man momentarily forgets a players surname and he's an arrogant twat?

Have a look in the mirror.

Can't believe he's 60. Just another depressing reminder that the '90s was a long time ago.

I like Ian Wright, and wouldn't call him arrogant, but he's certainly a lazy pundit.

Of all of them, Ian Wright is one of the most complimentary of the TV pundits when it comes to discussing us in the media. Are you ever not miserable?

I think Shearer is very fair, when you consider he was the Newcastle manager when we sent them down in 2009 - and we mocked him personally.

I don't mind admitting that, while we were completely justified and represented nothing but the enjoyment that any fanbase would've shared at Newcastle going down on that day, if the roles were reversed I'd probably have held a grudge. Not as a fan, because they fucking deserved relegation and it was only their clueless self-awarded status as being 'everybody's second team' that made them bitch and cry so much - but as Shearer himself.

He's almost always very complimentary about us, and as a result I'm sometimes inclined to overlook what a dirty, elbow-y bastard he was as a player.

The grammatical error in his post suggests to me he’s not sure how to express his name correctly in this context.

He's a MOTD pundit, mate. I suppose it's what makes them pundits; their ineptitude and whatnot.

I don't mind Wright, he's ok. Shearer, too.

It's the Micah Richards' of this world that need handfeeding to a massive shark.

Hah, another gem there! I'm going to start making a note of these Axl, so I can publish a book of the most creative insults in the English language.

Douglas’s or Douglas’ …either could have been used. It wouldn’t normally bother me but as you pilloried Ian Wright for momentarily forgetting his name I thought it a good reason to make the point.

The MOTD 'Club' consists of very outwardly so called big team supporters - 'Chappers' Manure.  Shearer Newcarsssul.  Richards Citeh.  Wright.  The Arse.  They very rarely have anyone outside that says 'up the Villa' - except when Dublin is on as a token gesture.  Hardly surprising the narrative then when we even threaten to be good.  As far as I am concerned and mostly from history, the minute people start talking about us in national circles we inevitably fcuk up and go downhill as a result.  Long may us being under the radar continue for that reason alone.
