The commentator after Torres header, something like ‘Villa could have been two up inside the first two minutes’.

Yeah, ok, we nearly scored from the corner awarded after Durán had his shot saved. But if Durán had scored we wouldn’t have got the corner..

Absolutes mindless drivel from someone paid to talk about football.

Bloke sat behind me said the same thing about being 2-0 up. Kind of expect it from a fan, but not from a commentator.

According to Lineker there's only one place to start.....Arse. Why?

Never mind us beating the champions eh?
Because he is the rather uncomplimentary version of the alternative word for a Lady garden...

I don't think he makes the decision on the running order. And being as it was a match with 6 goals in it......

Not the commentator on MOTD presumably though? He said something like Ortega had rescued City twice in the first 90 seconds.

It's probably not even as complicated as that.

He's a TV presenter introducing a series of football matches and needs a phrase to start the first one. And would have used those words whatever match had been first.

While never giving a second thought that a few dozen internet weirdos might take his innocuous words as a personal insult.

Yes, MOTD. He said it as the teams went off at half-time. “Could have been two up after two minutes, as it is they’re one up after forty-five.”

I was wrong about it being after Torres’ header.

He was probably referencing his notes with 'Big Chance Villa 1min', 'Big Change Villa 2min', written down forgetting one led to the other.

I actually believe most commentators, pundits and fans think like this. It's bizarre.

It really is. As Ally McCoist would say.

Well, at least we’ve been spared the Sheff Utd goal that would have relegated us nonsense this season, so far anyway.
