Was dreading it when I saw 2 ex goons as the "experts" but have to say Keown, whom I never liked as a player was very fair, not only in our analysis but have to say I agreed with a lot of his other thoughts on the other games too.

Fair play to him

Dixon was very begrudging in admitting City's red cards were deserved...

Was a bit shocked with bents interview when he actually said juande in reference to not showing belief in him. But to be fair he has a point

Yea I saw that too, both actually gave pretty fair comments on the game and said that the red cards were deserved. Makes a change for ex-scum to say reasonably nice things about us

To be fair Dixon is more Citeh than Scum but he still said it was a sending off so we can't be too harsh.

I do hate the amount of Scum on MOTD2 generally but they don't seem to be too biased. Not like the partisan tits on sky sports.

Maybe they don't feel threatened by us.

I can't work out if i love or hate MOTD2, it has a strange format with the jokes and Adrian Chiles being a bit strange, think i love it.

It'll get more and more depressing as the Baggies sink towards relegation. But at least we'll get to see the various guests baiting Chiles...which is always fun.

I've been very impressed with Harry's comments in all TV/Radio interviews where he makes a point of saying how much he likes our players, after praising Bent, he said he really thought Pav was a good player aswell, and the kid Campbell. Then he commented on the CB pairing of Ledley & Woody, and immediately said "I've got alot of time for Dawson, he's a great lad and a good player". He's inclusive, and that builds confidence. Ramos not only gave the impression, he actually didn't rate most of our squad, and Gus's comments in the Times interview about them "knowing nothing about Football unless they were told" was quite insulting IMO. :roll:

We still got flak off some bitter rival fan on 6-0-6 though. Said Harry would be sacked in a year and was "in a dead end job at Spurs cos their fans demand a top 4 place."

I like it. He's a good sort Adrian. I emailed him once about a non-Football programme he did, where he followed someone famous round, and he got the production company to send me a copy of it.

A couple of weeks ago on the Two Good, Two Bad bit on the end of MotD2, they showed my ex-computer teacher sticking 2 fingers up in his blue away Spurs shirt. Highly amusing.

yeah, i get that too, something in the tabloids within the decade i bet, not necessarily perverse or dangerous, but just a bit odd

Looked like he was having his teeth pulled or suffering from piles when he said that,:rofl:
Seriously, why do they have TWO ex goons on together, they have enough pundits to out one on sat and one on Sunday. Neither of them are that insightful anyway. :evil:

Shall we all send in letters of complaint to the BBC, they like that!:wink:

Keown isn't a bad pundit at all, I always found ti strange to think that seeing as I thought he was a twat on the pitch.

Monkeyhead's OK, and I don't mind Dixon too much, to be honest. He was absolutely raving about Bentley's goal on the radio commentary, unlike that **** Merson.

For his appearance, Keown is actually quite well-spoken, almost to the point of eloquence.

Very astute to comment on the Huddlestone sitting 'quarterback' role. Shows what a difference it makes having his passing range and Bent playing on the shoulder of the last defenders - something a lot of people on here have been hoping for since we signed The Bentatron 3000.

Still can't stand Dixon though.

TBH I was watching the extended Sky coverage and turned over to watch MOTD2. The nondescript Scottish co-commentator on Sky was doing my head in, seemed pro Man City and kept jabbering on endlessly. Much to be said for MOTD.

Adrian Chiles is so funny though. I loved his comment when he arse on TV "I'm sorry, my resignation is coming in the morning." Sounds funnier when he said it.

You'd expect Richard Dunne to have more sense than to make contact with Bent but I Still think it was a harsh sending off .

If the cost of the search for consistency is referees not being able to use common sense then I'd rather go back to the way it was /
