In a way it's a marvel how massively someone can fuck up by using the word "other" in a place it doesn't belong.

Thing is that this is likely more than a simple slip-up of language. Tyler is already well-known as a Man Utd fan and Liverpool fans have long said he has an agenda against them. Equating Hillsborough to hooliganism so easily just shows he probably does have that ingrained ill-feeling towards Liverpool and making claims like that, indirectly or not, on a national broadcast when his job is to commentate on the biggest games in the world every week is downright dangerous.

What annoys me is the complete lack of challenge to those words after they were said. Its only come about because of the rightful uproar and then his apology is half arsed and isn't even done directly by him it's by the BBC.

Oh sure, I've no doubt it's completely indicative. It's just fascinating how one tiny word completely changes the implication of the sentence.

[Colly]

To be honest without knowing of any agenda (I rarely hear him commentate these days) I can understand it just being clumsy. It's really bad, but there's a pause in there that does separate it slightly, though as Stoker says the "other" is what causes the damage. I don't know if it's just a slip up, I'd like to hope so, but either way it's clearly time for him to take a step back.

The disgusting thing is Martin Tyler will escape this with any real accountability too because he's Martin Tyler.

Villa’ll be in a relegation fight and Gerrard won’t last the season I don’t think.

[Bobfoc]

I like the confidence in Forest staying up.

Partey is playing tonight.

Sky going the badge route for their scoreboard for the first time ever. Feels like old school PES.

I like it.

Arsenal have made a really bright start. Jesus looks like he could make a real difference if he is on form this year.

[Twist]

I think the teams swapped shirts at half time.

[Kaney]

Arsenal have been shocking the second half but I can't understand how Xhaka gets booked for diving yet Eze got away with any even more blatant dive scot free.

[DavidMarrio]

Urghhhhhhh. We had like a ten minute spell of looking decent. Fair play Fulham have played well. 

Annoying to concede but hopefully this will force us to wake up

[Szumi]

New season, same old TAA not ever jumping to try and defend a cross.

[Colly]

Love Mitro, still think we should break the bank for him.
