    Is there more ****** spouted on telly anywhere?
    I've just endured Martin Keown trying to justify his overpaid job by drawing some triangles on a moving graphic. He's linked up some players in a triangle.
    Only in Keown world does it mean anything, because a 7 year old could have done it.

    So, I turn to my other half and say "just watch, next he'll show players in lines"
    Sure enough someone draws a line link between two players. You could have used it to praise or criticise any player on the pitch.
    Utterly meaningless crap.

    I want to watch the game, the goals, and not waste my life listening to "experts" trying to justify their own existence.
    There are times when you hear former players give an insight into what goes on behind the scenes - that's interesting. But please don't pass these pointless graphics off as knowledge.

    Phil Neville or Phillip as he calls himself these days is ****ing painful. Does the thing his brother does in pronouncing certain words in a posher way than the rest of his sentence, but at least Gary is insightful. Alan Shearer and Ian Wright are about the only ones outside the Sky Sports team that I think are alright.

    I dont mind them, at least they actually seem to have their own opinions. Thierry Henry seems to spout a lot of meaningless **** while we're on the subject.

    I usually enjoy the tactical talk as I yearn to find out more about how the game is organised at a professional level. For instance, I enjoy seeking explanations when Barnsley do not play well. However, like you, I thought the linking of players in triangles was going too far. Any three players are bound to form a triangle unless they are in an absolutely straight line.

    Gary Neville is the only one worth listening to. I think he's head and shoulders above the rest.

    Bring back no analysis. Just a presenter to introduce the games, less time talking ballhocks means more highlights of the actual football. Half the show is talking these days.

    Dull and tedious fact of the day.
    Our first home game of the 1985/86 season, on a Tuesday night, saw us beat Brighton 3-2. An on loan Martin Keown scored for Brighton that evening, their other goal was scored by Dean Saunders. Our scorers were Gwyn Thomas 2 & Ian Walsh. It was actually Walsh's first goal for us, even though he'd been signed by Bobby Collins during the Summer of 1984.
    Sorry about that. I'll go back to my studies now.
    As you were.

    Same, I rarely watch owt live I just Sky Plus everything and fly through adverts and **** like that. Amazing how quickly you can watch programmes without the waffle, if you ever watch X Factor using this method the programme is cut in half.
