That is genius - and the best 4 mins I’ve spent in a long time.

That’s from what 1979? One of the most articulate and intelligent commentators on the game (and I mean Clough), for me, just totally reframed the media’s role. He is so right.

I won’t spoil it more.

2 masters of their occupation!

Shame the media didn't take Cloughie's advise. Can't remember the last time I watched MOTD at time of broadcast and/or without skipping through the waffle and certainly not the slightest bit interested in what a player posted on twitter!
