Pundit and Media Watch on Aston Villa 24/25

Yeah, he's always bigging himself up in the name of bantz especially with his brother in arms, Gobby Cabbage.

In the Guardian Premier League team news: predicted lineups for the weekend they don’t list Morgan Rogers anywhere as part of the squad even on the doubtful or injured list, let alone naming him in the starting 11. Is this an oversight? That sort of neglect is shocking

not only that but Subs from list: Gauci, Nedeljkovic and Buendía

To offset pundit negativity, there was a minute or so in the latest Totally Football podcast waxing lyrical about Villa park.

“Villa Park’s gotta be the best ground in the country…”

“I think full, it’s in the top 5 in the country”

“A beautiful thing to look at”

VP bit starts at ~40:25

SKY sports yesterday morning- saying that if Arsenal beat Madrid, then PSG and Barcelona in the final that will be the best ever win by an English team in the champions league

So according to them we may as well not play the game on Tuesday as we are already out of the competition.

There is just no respect for us at all!

I think he's being ironic, he calls himself "villa legend" after what 1 goal in 7 matches?

Yes he is being ironic. He does it on Monday Night show on 5live.

Makes a change. They really seem to begrudge talking about us on that podcast. We often only get 30 seconds of chat at most and a few times just had the score read out and that's it. Been on the verge of giving up on it.

Tbf, we're rank outsiders after the first leg even among Villa fans.

Nice lead story on the BBC on the day an English club plays a CL quarter final.

He also mentioned the game vs Bayern as the best atmosphere this season. Good podcast that, on my regular listen list.

"Meanwhile at Southampton, Aston Villa, a team currently knocking on more doors than a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses, maintained their hopes of making the top five with the obligatory win over Southampton."

Nice line from the Grauniad's Football Daily.

[Sexual Ealing]

Nice lead story on the BBC on the day an English club plays a CL quarter final.

There's an article below that accusing Frederick Rinder of selling dodgy Firesticks. If we lose tonight we'll know who to blame, and it won't be our poor lambs on the pitch.

Haha!  I get that this doesn't bother some of you like it does me, and I know I should be too old to care.

Rooney Twathead - Rashofrd only wants to play for Manchester United.

Contrast that Total Embarrassment of a  Pundit to Clarence Seedorf.

[Somniloquism]

All three others were decent, but then it was Rooney. Prime really need to think about that money. Gabby's look at the camera said it all and she has had some right twats with her before.

[rob_bridge]

Seedorf really good
Young good
Sturridge OK
Rooney - CRAP
