The little bit of brilliance is that they keep asking what’s going on at Villa Park but the scores at the bottom always show Villa as the away side. So nothing is ever going on there😂
Ha, well spotted. They also keep ending each segment with "let's go over to Stamford Bridge" even though the scroll at the bottom says Chelsea are playing away at Old Trafford.
I scrolled a long way down the comments section in search of the word 'parachute', as I was stuck in a tree straight after 0:57, contemplating my journey to the ground.... Quite brilliantly bizarre :)
How is there anything at all happening at Villa Park if Villa are away to arsenal that day? Could it be FA Cup semi-final weekend and two other teams still in the Cup are playing at neutral venue Villa Park?
Hilarious how the comments section is full of people pointing out flaws and inaccuracies in the scores, table, commentary etc. Do people not understand that this is a comedy sketch? Most of these mistakes will have been deliberate. If any of them weren't, it DOESN'T MATTER! It's a comedy sketch ffs! :)
It's a compilation of different segments from an episode of the Armstrong and Miller sketch show. Presumably the next sketch along was a skit involving their famous WW2 pilots, which wasn't quite edited out from this cut.
Point tae ponder’ the fact that another can mimic/mock another country’s accent, mannerisms and stereotypes, but it’s all just for a laugh 😂 And as a Scotsman I say, well done Tis good to laugh at each other... Now if only others ( leftist/liberals PC brigade certain religious types, ie muslims ) could laugh at themselves in a similar manner, our lovely country called the UK 🇬🇧 would be a much happier place to live ...
And Kevin Bridges had me laughing out loud with his impression of an Englishman doing his impression of a Scotsman. If you know what I mean. :-) We make fun of each other because that's what we do to those we consider worthy of our banter.
BalkanHound is wrong. The joke is actually that Ben Miller’s character says he thought Billy said “meths” , meaning methylated spirits i.e alcohol. This is another alcohol related pun reinforcing the fact that Billy is an alcoholic.
That was my thought on it. Apparently had 1 goal in 13 so I guess that nobody makes their debut until their 14th match... (Also, he keeps saying "going over to Villa Park" but scores show "Arsenal 2-0 Aston Villa" and "Charlton 0-0 Aston Villa" so not only are they playing twice but neither are at home...)
A very funny sketch. But the person that wrote the league table definitely has no clue about the premiership, because there's no way the likes of Wigan, Fulham and Bolton would be in the top four.
The writing on this sketch is INCREDIBLE.
I'm not Scottish so I can't comment on how authenic Armstrong's accent is, but my God he knows how to use it in a comedy sketch!

You know its a comedy show when Arsenal are top of the league
And Wigan second.
Shows that whoever did tje graphics here knew f all about football at the time.
Mark Baxter did you consider they might have done that deliberately to add to the joke?
Could have been a history programme. Ancient history of course...
Harsh.Random.
@@xBLaDeofWaaRx I was just thinking that.
That "bet you've seen some girls run in your time" skit is absolutely legendary. Cry laughing at it every time
I'd be much more into sports if the commentary was like this!
No wonder Spurs arn't doing that well, they're playing against Liverpool and West Ham at the same time!!
Steve Well spotted.
They're drawing against West Ham.
And also, Wigan in second?! 😅
Also, poor Villa playing two games at once - neither is at Villa Park, so...why are they watching there?!
What's so interesting at Stamford Bridge that Saturday afternoon? Chelsea were clearly playing Man Utd at Old Trafford.
And Villa were losing 2-0 at the Emirates and drawing 0-0 at the Valley so dunno why they kept going to Villa Park for the report, neither...
Omg I've just cried with laughter watching this. Great writing and acting
did you though?
The lad Simpson is on his debut yet has scored 1 goal in 13 games...
His debut for the club doesn't necessarily mean his debut game ever.
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral debut does tend to mean 'for this club'!
Yep, a terrible 'mistake' indeed. It may as well be a comedy sketch. Oh, wait...
If you push someone too much , they do more than get even 🤣😂
So funny how the host laughs at his own jokes all the time!
What we wish would happen on ESPN on every one of their shows.
The "boos" joke killed me lmao
Bothers me that the action is at Villa Park but Villa are listed as playing away at Charlton.
I love all these sketches, he reminds me of Graeme Souness
I don't know Jeff. I thought they were bringing a sub on.
Ahhh Kammy. National Treasure
Villa Park is mentioned so Villa are playing at home but the games underneath have them playing at Arsenal, but it is 0-0 then play at Charlton
Miller n Armstrong are so cute together...it's a sin to imagine them as anything else. 😔
How about a daytime TV quiz show host for one of them?
@@MrExEssex That would be pointless
Stamford Bridge? Chelsea are away at Man U according to the ticker tape-funny sketch though!
He says let's go to Villa Park, why they are playing away.
yeah there's more atmosphere then :p
Remember watching this at the time. Brilliant! 😂

Great both of them.

This is what Soccer Saturday is about to become now that Jeff Stelling is about to leave.
Edit: He's still there, but it's still no better.
Dunno what the guy doing the graphics was on, but Arsenal top, Wigan, Fulham, Bolton in the top 4 - what backwards reality is this? 😂
That has to be part of it, no? It wouldn't have been hard to be accurate and I'm guessing they thought the same. Could be wrong though.
Wigan 2nd in the Premiership?
That is a comedic sketch that says more about life than a great many things do, brilliant

Exactly, thank you. I'd just commented on this point, nice to see I'm not the only one.
At 00:55 he says lets go over to Stanford Bridge then a second later we see two men in parachutes for a less than a second. WTF?
Crazy what goes on at Stanford Bridge. Isn’t it.
It's a compilation of different segments from an episode of the Armstrong and Miller sketch show. Presumably the next sketch along was a skit involving their famous WW2 pilots, which wasn't quite edited out from this cut.
I know Todd Boehly has plans for Chelsea, I just didn't expect that.
I've just noticed that Spurs and Tottenham are shown as two separate teams.
It would be pointless going "over to Stamford Bridge", as Chelsea were playing at Old Trafford.
Almost as pointless as pointing out errors on a table during a comedy sketch 😉

Nothing will be happening at Villa Park because Villa are losing 2-0 at the Emirates...
@2:05 Can someone please explain the math joke?
BalkanHound Thank you. I thought so, but wanted to confirm it was the same thing.
BalkanHound is wrong. The joke is actually that Ben Miller’s character says he thought Billy said “meths” , meaning methylated spirits i.e alcohol. This is another alcohol related pun reinforcing the fact that Billy is an alcoholic.
Why are they so obsessed with going to empty football grounds
Thing is, if Simpson is on his debut, how could be having a 'really lean spell'? 🤔
Great skit though.
That was my thought on it. Apparently had 1 goal in 13 so I guess that nobody makes their debut until their 14th match...
(Also, he keeps saying "going over to Villa Park" but scores show "Arsenal 2-0 Aston Villa" and "Charlton 0-0 Aston Villa" so not only are they playing twice but neither are at home...)
He could have joined in the January transfer window from another Premier League side which he played 13 times for maybe?
This is why Jimmy Carr doesn't host the footie.
Billy McNab should have Malkied yon wee Davey. East Kilbride patter always ends badly
I love the one where he goes on about Boos, and he takes it the wrong way
Even that late in the season and being 2 goals ahead, you can tell Arsenal is going to bottle it.
just like now.
Billy McNab disliked :-)
If only that table was real... #wafc
🤣🤣🤣

These are superior to Mitchell and Webbs.
So is watchin a dog shit.

Nope. That's Jim Howick.
Where? Behind the camera 🤣
@@literate-aside I think he's directing it. 😆
