He’s fine, a bit daft when it comes to talking about Arsenal, but he’s alright.

He was interviewed a while back and said he hated playing Villa as the fans always gave him a hard time
It may even be in his autobiography

"The most outrageous law not just football but all law "
His epitaph to football punditry

He has openly admitted in the past he doesn't like Villa, hated playing us as the fans were always on his back apparently

Fair play to MOTD.
We were first on and despite all the shenanigans and pearl clutching by the match commentator, Wright and Shearer backed Villa on pretty much every talking point.

And rightly so, they just laughed at the Martinez shithousery for what it was.

Didn’t think there was much in that Kamara red myself.

Not really but nowadays a hand in the face is a red card and he got one.  No complaints about the decision, he shouldn't have done it.

Their no 33 was lucky not to get one too.  VAR not doing their job on that occasion.

The twat from robotwars on commentary was a bit over the top. He’s such a terrible commentator.

You could see a player push Kamara away by the throat in the net when Watkins was celebrating, no card yet Kamara gets a red for the same offence.

I don't have a problem with Ian Wright. He  can be quite funny but his analysis is sometimes a bit sketchy. He doesn't have a problem with us in my opinion in fact he's been pretty complimentary to us this season. I thought both him and Shearer were very lenient with Ben Mee although they both agreed the red card was correct.

I quite like Pearce, but he does look like a man who's suffering from the ravages of alcohol. I wish him well.

Brentford v Villa first up on MOTD. Liverpool v Man U on last. That almost feels like the start of a new world order 😉

They're still all over the back pages. One even has a headline about how boring it was.

Personally if we were mentioned I suspect it was because we stopped him in the league cup semis and took the piss in the next league meeting. He then put two passed us including the last minute winner. And then two more at Vila Park the next season as well.

Wright often speaks well of us, this is one of my favourites

My sixpenneth on MOTD. Both Shearer and Wrighty both very complimentary about Villa's ability to beat City and Arsenal, then go to Europe and not fail at the next 'banana skin'. These are ex-footballers who know what it takes to have that inner strength on top of sheer football skills to remain focused and resilient when everyone is waiting for them to fall at the next hurdle. Fair do's to them for their insight and also for their straightforward views on Ollie, recognising that he did nothing wrong and gave back as good as he got. I was beaming.

Being 1st on MOTD2 is a sign of progress.
