This Weekend's Fixtures & Blackburn v Man Utd (31 Mar + 01/02 Apr).

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Did anyone endure Motson's commentary on MOTD2? Impossibly, he gets worse.

I thought his frenzied hysteria would lead to his death on air.

"A Brendan Rogers miracle!!!!"

"BALE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!"

He also let us know that it was the first time he had watched Swansea this season.

And that there's a case to be made for Adebayor being the best striker this season if you add up his goals and assists. I'm pretty sure there a few well ahead of him on that count and that RVP's goals alone beat Ade's combined stats.

Great to see such professionalism and in-depth research from Motty. He is beyond embarrassing.

Surely someone at the BBC is taking the piss by letting him display his senility in all it's glory.

The way sky spalffed over the spuds you'd think they just beat barca 7-0 and won the CL.

They think that not giving him live matches any longer is somehow enough....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carrick.

Wakey wakey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd fans are singing their Vieira chant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Hernandez, doesn't strike it cleanly though and is now down in a heap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez hits the post from close range!

1. Motson was originally (and still is) a spud.

2. He is not displaying senility. He has been like that since 1971 to my certain knowledge.

3. You are correct in that he is beyond embarrassing. As is the beeb for continuing to flaunt him as something special.

Could have gone anywhere back off Fat Robbo..
