Marka Ragnos Posted September 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2021 8 hours ago, The_Rev said: I've been listening to Football Weekly since about 2008, it's still my favourite bit of football media. The JJB thing is a bit of meme which started last year when JJB was caught in an obvious lie about Dean Smith (I forget the details but he clearly hadn't watched the game that week) and was ripped to shreds for it on the show and in the comments. A couple of weeks later Villa humped Arsenal 3-0 at The Emirates and he got loads more from the panel and the comments and it's just spiralled from there. Max basically won't let it die now and JJB initially seemed more than happy to play along for a while but it seems even he is getting bored of it. Yes, I agree completely. It’s become a source of sympathetic embarrassment for me. A joke told too often. Not sure where Football Weekly ranks in UK, but among soccer podcasts in the USA, it’s second only to ESPN’s, which I’ve never heard, I confess. I like the tension between the regulars. I’m a huge Barry fan and the intense sniping between Barry and Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2021 BT Sport's punditry is atrocious. Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen are just terrible. Hargreaves isn't too bad in all fairness. I thought Sky was bad until I've watched some of the Champ League content over the past couple of days.

When in the studio he is fine but as a co-commentator he is so robotic, unable to string more than 3 or 4 words together at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio was ridiculous yesterday because Messi was lying on the floor for a free kick saying he wouldn't allow him to do that if he was in the team.

Hornso Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Heard a few "Oh god, they're finally going to do it this year aren't they" takes in regards to PSG after beating Man City in the Champions League without a hint of irony. If Man City beat PSG I'm sure we wouldn't be getting "Oh god, they're finally...." take. Edited September 30, 2021 by Hornso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Yep. It’s as predictable a reaction as it will be when a strong team makes it to about November without losing in the league and people start declaring them the new invincibles.

villa4europe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I thought PSG were pretty poor myself, their best player was their GK, if city had a striker they'd have scored a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very typical Pep Guardiola performance against the elite. Played with no striker to press, dominated the ball, but against a better defensive outfit with danger on the break they came undone. Happens every season since Barca in the CL It only worked at elite champions league level at Barca because he had the greatest false 9 of all time in Messi to score 40 goals a season wherever he played, since then he's struggled. Great manager but he just can't help himself but meddle in big knockout games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Pickford with a nice pass out of the back Martin Keown “did he mean that” I know Pickford has his dodjy moments but why? Is it only the “big 6” that can play football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 When the Villa Facebook page posts match highlights with Woodward calling the action, does he record his commentary after the fact? Because it sounds unnatural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
