MOTD

[Dave P]

You're making sure we won't forget your name Tim.

[Ian.]

I routinely forget my own kids' names, so I'll let Ian Wright off for a solitary senior moment.

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

To be fair, with the size of your brood it must be like reciting Pi.

[chrisw1]

He wouldn't have forgotten an Arsenal players surname, it was a subtle (or not so) put down of little old Aston Villa and their collection of spirited but unheard of players . Wanker. (ian Wright, not you).

No it wasn't.  You are utterly deluded.  Take your tin hat off FFS.

[Footy-Vill]

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

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.

I can not watch him,  I can not believe the work he gets .

Well BBC set to retain the Premier League highlights rights and broadcast Match of the Day till 2029
There's limited interest from other broadcasters.
So, will classic MOTD and MOTD 2 continue in traditional format until the end of this decade?

I think BBC need to be evolving to give highlights and shorts online shortly after matches end, rather than paying pundits . Hopefully they move with the times to invest more to broadcast match content and incidents putting it online and on iPlayer.

On pundits
Maybe they should just do away with pundits. Or only have coaches or ex coaches on and not ex players.

If ever a cnut is guilty of stealing a living - stupid belly laugh at nothing usually, commenting on how macho he is and on a decent game show like A League of their own if he is not in the limelight for 2 minutes he has to pipe up with such faux "bants" it is embarrassing

Total waste of skin

The highlights package they buy probably doesn't allow them to put out content like you describe. As for the last comment; Yes, instead of former players, get coaches like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer, Patrick Vierra, Phil and Gary Neville, Steve Bruce, Peter Reid, Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill........

[Bad English]

I forget who Dan Bardell is most of the time so it's understandable.

[Mossie Hennebry]

I just start at the eldest and work my way down. I sometimes even make it to the dog, but as he's called Buddy, I get away with that!

[Simon Page]

My old man did the chronological method. Annoying for my sister as she has three older brothers.

[eamonn]

Wright is a big fan of Ramsey, when analysing our midfield, I was hoping he would mention his name as someone we are without yet don't appear to be missing unduly.

[VillaTim]

is he any relation of Dave Bardell ?

[Brazilian Villain]

There was fella near us called Frank Martin who gave his 11 kids names (in order) that started with the letters in his.

Dan Bardell?

[TelfordVilla]

Dan Bardell  puts a lot of good content out on youtube
