Pundit and Media Watch on Aston Villa 24/25

[LeeB]

On this day, top TNT pundit joins Aston Villa Football Club:

Thanks for reminding me how much I hated that NTL logo.

Didn't we get a shitload of money from NTL that we effectively pissed up the wall?

In Diadora, don't ignore me

Now do a bit of Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland

On this day, top TNT pundit joins Aston Villa Football Club:

Never heard Townsend ever speak of us either anything less than 100% affection. Dean Saunders too.

Same as .
Unlike alan smith (alleged villa fan) who seems to harbor a weird grudge against us whenever he does our games.

On pundits

I always thinking Crouchy harbours a bit of resentment rather than gratitude towards his time at Villa.
He’s respectful to an extent but of course because of his experience and his own issues of self doubt and inexperience at the level think he hasn’t resolved just how lucky he was to come to us.

Had to dig for a memory refresher but something like this maybe?

"Put your foot down!" Jake Westmorland barked to the minicab driver. "Take me to the nearest urban conurbation".
"Will Erdington do ya, Bab?" the cabbie suggested, generously.

It was at this point Jake ruminated upon whether East and West (Mids) could truly live in harmony...

Can't say I have heard him comment on Villa much but I don't watch TNT much.

He did have a better time in terms of productivity at other clubs to be fair - Portsmouth, QPR, Norwich, Liverpool, Saints, Stoke. Not to mention England.

When Taylor signed him press went all - oh big man to suit Villa's long ball style under SGT. Total stereotype on every level.
He signs for Liverpool and same press is saying what a shrewd Rafa signing givig them a 'added dimension'.

The idiot reporter on the BBC website has found it possible to reference Sheffield United's 'goal' against us, in a post about the FA Cup Semi Final.

What I find interesting about that still coming up is how many people can imagine how differently things might have gone for via if that goal had stood but they can't see how a goal early in the 2nd half of a match changes how the game itself goes.

Re: Whether Crouch is resentful towards us. I watched the Crouch documentary and when it came to his Villa career, and he spoke with regret. He feels it's the only move he had that didn't work out. He said he didn't feel like he was ready for the step up and it was too much for him at the time.

When these so-called pundits/experts bring up the 'goal that never was' and 'poor old Sheffield United' someone should give them a gentle reminder of the alleged illegal transfer of Carlos Tevez to Manchester United which did actually have a devastating effect on SU as his goals contributed to their ultimate relegation.  Copy Sheffield United.

Yeah, he isn't resentful at all. Anyone who isn't overtly spunking over the Villa tends to get a bit of criticism.

Yeh I don't get that either. He's always spoken well about us. That we essentially gave up on him is on us, because he went on to have a superb post Villa career.

I thought TV had outed himself as an alt account for edgy. Then realised he has done a massive quote-fail "fix" of copying the wrong line of text out of the original quote box and into "his own".

I'm trying not to out myself as Prince William. It's a daily challenge to relate to you commoners.
