Welcome

Evil

Welcome to Match of the Day is Shit. This blog will target the vapid stupidity present across all forms of football commentary - and although MoTD is not the only culprit, as the most familiar and long-running bastion of sporting idiocy in the country, I feel it is a good poster-boy for the rage and pity felt by the vast majority of football viewers who are forced to put up with the below-ape-level intellectual discussion presented to us on television.

The aim of this blog is to present, for your amusement and exasperation, snippets of overheard stupidity from football on television, and, where I deem necessary, pedantic comments to go alongside them

And so we begin, with a short selection overheard this weekend;

'Goals change games' - They do indeed Alan. Have a biscuit.

'He's got a whole lot of meat behind it' - One dreads to dwell on this image for too long.

'He had Steinsson on a piece of string there'

'He stayed big and threw a couple of arms at it' - How many arms did he have to throw in total? Surely he should have thrown them all.

'You win stuff through the middle' - Paul Merson, trying to indicate he believes the central spine of a team is the most important part, and instead falling over his own booze-distended tongue.
