Exactly one other attempt has been made to recreate MOTD's surgically-middle-of-the-road presentation of football highlights, which must be both an incisive analysis of the matches and also accessible to the most casual of licence-paying fans. The pundits must be critical but personable, experienced but aspirational, Alan Hansen but Ian Wright. What I'm ultimately asking, I suppose, is where did Andy Townsend park his truck?

tbf I can see why people enjoyed the 'bantz' bits that they showed later for a cheap laugh, but I would love to know from someone at Sky about how many people actually sat down each week to watch a live football match and decided that it would be improved by adding an audio track of essentially me and bape culture loudly arguing for 97 minutes about whether 1996 Robbie Fowler was better than 1999 Dwight Yorke (graded on dancing ability, coolness, dopeness, freshness, and number of reliant robins owned) I would also like to know exactly how many people each week decided to switch on player cam, where you could watch what Wayne Rooney was doing at any given time (standing, looking, hacking up phlegm), as opposed to trivial elements of the sport like 'the ball' or so-called 'player in possession'

Andy Townsend, sitting in a truck watching 6 camera angles of Ugo Ehiogu clearing the ball into the stands is the kind of coverage I miss. If we could bring back Endsleigh League Extra too while we're at it, thanks.

Jack Wilshire's got a sad as hell interview with Ornstein about how tough it is when you're unsigned and fighting for a contract. It does give a lot of insight into life for the vast majority of people trying to make it in sport. For Wilshire it's different because he was such a star and public figure before being iced out, but a lot of the things he says and feelings he expresses are the sentiments shared by a lot of trialists. He comes across as a nice enough guy and I hope he gets the chance to play somewhere else, because I do think there's a certain stigma he has in England that would make it hard for him to get the chance he wants.

Apparently he was going to play in Serie B but couldn’t get a work permit due to Brexit stuff. He had some games for Bournemouth last year and it seems odd to me he hasn’t settled into the Championshp level.

He's still pricing himself out of a move to any club he's good enough to play for. Boo loving hoo. If he'd play for an average wage he'd be drowning in offers.

If the best offer he got was from a loving Serie B club I doubt wage demands have been his biggest problem

The Serie B team was Como (of the lake fame) and yeah, because of Brexit he can't sign for any Serie B team actually. Apparently he knows someone who knows somebody at the club and he was just training with them to stay fit.

His performance against Barcelona at Highbury is possibly the best I've ever seen from anyone in an arsenal shirt. He was absolutely ran into the ground that season and it probably ended his career, who knows what he could have become if we weren't so reliant on his creativity that season. Hope he gets a second chance, his game was never about pace so there's always the chance of a late career renaissance.

Can't remember where, probably something pulled from a tabloid article, but I lol'd at the recent revelation that his 9-year son asked him why he's not playing anymore and that kids at school called him, "Jack Wheelchair." Some top bantz. He could've been a great player, hard to say how it all went wrong between his numerous injuries, being overplayed, and his hard man / "I’m too good to play for X team" until no one else would take him attitude.

Yeah he's had a lot of injury problems but he (allegedly, this all just scuttlebutt) really doesn't help himself by never sticking to training/rehab regimes when recovering from those injuries. Also he did apparently genuinely believe as soon as he went to Bournemouth he'd be their star player and even fancied his chances of getting back into the England team, which is all the funnier because of the period overlapped with Lingard's spell at West Ham (who of course Wilshere claimed had no place for a technical creative genius like himself).
