Michael Richards just grinds my gears só much. He's probably a sound guy  but I just get past the fact the was such a waster for Villa when he was hanging with that other waster Gabby. 



I can forget his involvement with us, but on telly he's a fucking nightmare, he's just a clown from the Savage mould, all exaggerated laughs and godawful 'bantz' with Shearer and Lineker.

I lasted about three minutes of that podcast they've started, for that reason.


I had the radio on driving back from the station in Peterborough yesterday, and was unfortunate enough to catch the Jermaine Defoe and Troy Deeney podcast. Now both of them seem like decent enough chaps, but the podcast is dismal. The one I caught a bit of they seemed to be compiling a list of the best players they've played with.

Now Defoe obviously being much the better player has played with the likes of Shearer, Di Canio and Owen etc. The best Deeney could come up with was Michael Ricketts. However, every player being discussed was described as "He's a joke man." Every single one. "Shearer, he's a joke man, Owen, ah man, he's a joke man, some of the things Di Canio could do, he's a joke man." I took this to mean that they were all capable of some ridiculous skill at times.

This is the thing , they all think they are broadcasters , presenters etc but it is a skill and needs leading with a body and  format that is interesting.  For some reason they think people will listen to any old shit

Judging by the numbers various podcasts and vloggers do on whatever format they broadcast on I think people do listen and watch any old shit. Jesus Talksport is still a going concern.

I managed one whole episode of that podcast and my review is this... it's a war crime. Even Shearer tries to be edgy by swearing a lot and it comes off rather sad.

Micha Richards is a useless pundit.  What a waste of a footballer, stole a living at villa and was a major contributor to us being a laughing stock.

Richards is no pundit unless inane cackling floats your boat. Jobi McAnuff uas been outstanding for a few years now but was really impressed with Nedum Onouha - knowledgeable, natural and not afraid to criticise.

I don't.  Liverpool and Citeh have more quality and more experience. A good right back signing and a Donk replacement and  could see us in the mix with Arsenal and Spuds for the 3-5. We could run out of gas and finish 7th or 8th as well mind.

Plus I don't want pundits telling me what I want to hear, rather giving me insights into somethings I haven't thought of. Pitch, training methods, game management etc..

Deep down I don’t really. If we are still where we are now at the end of Feb, then the heart will start ruling the head.

One thing is for certain, there is no fluke about tiis, just genius management.

Yes, it's no fluke, no budding genius coming good or team just coming together by chance.

That's why this time it's my heart saying no chance, but my head is saying look at the stats since he's come in, the sophistication in our play and the work we must do for it, and concludes we're only going to be better going forwards.

And if that's the case Citeh are in trouble.
