Pundit and Media Watch on Aston Villa 24/25

[Matt C]

Ill at the moment. Big flu type thing hitting Canada.

Has this been confirmed - must be a pretty bad dose to keep him away

Just checked his X and looks like he was diagnosed with pneumonia a few days back but thankfully on the mend now.

[CT Villan]

I wish NBC would replace Peter Drury with Ray Hudson - there'd never be a dull moment.

[RamboandBruno]

He needs to invest in a decongestion nasal spray. He's had a blocked nose for about 10 years

Its his blue nose

[Somniloquism]

Sounds green to me.

Thanks for the update

Get well soon Pete

This seems as good as place as any to put this. Can someone at the Villa media team please teach whoever commentates on the Villa TV packages (Regan?) to calm the fuck down. I get the impression he's come from radio commentary and is still trying to fit 300 words in to describe a minute of action when the pictures, a few sentences and some silence would be better. It really is getting on my nerves and distracts from what is usually some well put together segments of highlights.

Less is definitely more in this scenario.

It is Mark Regan but I was under the impression that you can listen to the game so he has to describe all of the action for that audience primarily.

Ah that explains it then, in effect it’s a radio Commentary played over the pictures. Ho hum I’m sure I’ll cope but it’s very annoying.

I’m always startled by how different radio and TV commentary is and how it massively affects your enjoyment and involvement in a game.

[Hampshire Villa]

I listen to a lot of games that are not televised on the Villa tv audio commentary. My Wife who is not a fan of the mainstream tv commentary teams thinks the Villa guy Regan? Is great but she especially likes Ian Taylor’s comments when he’s co commentator.

[PeterWithesShin]

I know Villa used to, so I assume they still do, provide commentary for blind fans in the ground. So that may be why Regan is as he is.

ITV's Coronation Street has been bumped off screen for Mark Pougatch , Wright and Keane providing build up to game tonight

Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon on commentary.

Every silver lining has a cloud.

[Nev]

I shall turn on at KO, off at HT and only watch the aftermath if we win.

Yes, it's juvenile but I couldn't give 2 fucks.

Earlier this season: Can Villa win the champions league
Fair play To Wright ! and Keane

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

I was just listening to the Lineker/Shearer/Micah Richards podcast, where they were talking about the CL games.  After talking about PSG's win; our former captain said he hoped PSG would go all the way and win The Champions League.

Shearer picks him up, tbf and he backtracks rapidly.  About 6mins 11 secs in
