Not usually a big fan of the “MOTD bias” bandwagon, but I’ve gotta say I’ve possibly watched one of the worst bits of punditry I’ve ever seen just now.

Not sure if anyone else saw it, but Kevin Kilbane took great pleasure in getting the knives right back out for Zaha tonight, as if he’d been desperately waiting for months, in what really was a pathetic attempt of defamation, even by their standards.

Would encourage any who missed it to avoid, unless they want the temptation of launching their TV/Laptop/Phone/Tablet out the window.

We're the Arthur over ere!

Unfortunately he has jumped on the bandwagon sticking his knives into Wilf. He completely ignored the fact that Doucoure ran 30 yards to push Wilf in the chest when already on a yellow suggesting Wilf should be booked for shoving him. He had every right to go for that ball in the penalty area. It happens week in week out . If you are both committed someone has to win. It’s not “nasty”, it’s football. And the booking well don’t start me on that.

Almost as if they’ve been waiting to really get stuck into him, but it simply hasn’t been possible for months without looking completely moronic.

It’s also worth mentioning Hegazi literally *punched* a player in the game prior and they didn’t say a word about it. But if Zaha is fouled on the edge of the box, they somehow have the nerve to make out he shouldn’t fall into the area or he’s a cheat. It’s absolutely incredible some of the horse s*** he came out with tonight, and it’s patently obvious that there is some underlying hatred towards him.

We're the Arthur over ere!

I'm glad it's not just me.

That Kilbane idiot was obviously dying to join the indignant mob. But he needed something unique to capture attention. "What have you got for the nature table, Kevin?"

He took the Sanctimonious Shearer angle. "We've seen a bad isde of Wilf Zaha... etc"

He then criticised Zaha for falling inside the box, after he was fouled just as he was about to enter the box. Kilbane admitted that he was fouled and that the referee was right to give a free kick, but Kilbane thought that Zaha shouldn't have fallen into the box.

Ah yes, I remember that from physics o'level. I think it was Kilbane's Law. "A scapegoat has momentum and direction, but it's reaction to a kick should be in inverse proportion to the level of pundit opprobium."

.

Even he was clear that it was a stonewall pen, but that argument about "falling into the box" in the previous incident was as feeble-minded a load of total bollocks as I have ever heard on MoTD. Totally desparate.

"Every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force."

Wilf is an excellent player but he is still subject to Newton's First Law of Motion.

I think the Second Law of Thermodynamics is relevant here.

"The total entropy (translation: bulls***) of an isolated system (example: the BBC) can never decrease over time."

TBH I thought he had been fouled in the area in that incident anyway!
