It looks as if it's just me then, but there was a time before I had a PVR that I would leave the pub early to watch Match Of The Day. I don't know whether it's Premiership football that's changed or the TV presenters, but these days I don't seem to give a shit. I religiously watch Channel 5's Championship and League One shows, even the League Two section to look out for my team's former players, but by the time I've watched them I really couldn't care less about the primadonnas of the top flight. Perhaps it's just me, but there just doesn't seem to be anything about those teams that interest me any more. Even though I don't support them, I was always interested on Leicester's bid for the title as they were the underdogs, but now it's just people shifting money around.

I'll admit I also ducked out ahead of Saints/Swansea. I've slept like a log this weekend.

Yup, but well done Dele for responding in the correct manner
Nice to see Harry kane joining the "not that kind of player" list with a particularly nasty scissor tackle from behind that led to a player being carried off.

MOTD2 have reduced their greatest goals of the Premier League error* down to five candidates.
They are:
(1) Tony Yeboah's goal. Which is the only thing people remember about Tony Yeboah.
(2) Bergkamp taking the piss out of Dabizas against NUFC.
(3) Rooney overhead kick in Manchester derby.
(4) Some identikit Henry goal where he dribbles past some hapless defenders.
(5) Jack Wilshere against Norwich where Arsenal players kept refusing to shoot yet somehow everybody drools over it.
WHERE IS PAOLO DI CANIO?! Does he not make it in because he assaulted a referee and Alan Shearer can't stand foreign cheats?
And the Bergkamp goal against Leicester.
* should be "era", but I'm leaving it as is.Last edited by anton pulisov; 13-08-2017, 23:48.

For the Saturday highlights shows, Channel 5 made immediate changes to their coverage. There was notably less chat than the previous weekend and would have been even less if it hadn't been for Colin Murray keeping going on about having no chat and getting straight on with the action.
Also they brought in Caroline Baxter as a copresenter; I think up to now she's mainly done nonleague stuff on the radio. She wasn't great but has the air of someone who will improve and over the course of an hour and a half show it is a better dynamic to have three people onscreen rather than just two. Then at the end of the show Murray referred to Five Live rather than Channel Five. Oh dear.

Yes it struck me Channel 5 either had a sack-load of complaints or someone who works there is on OTF. Still adds no value to learn that fans on receiving end of penalty decision think it was wrong while opposition thought it was correct. No shit, Sherlock.
Nor does it work to have two people who were not at a game pretending they were while they show us the highlights on an interactive screen. Just show us the bloody highlights in the normal way, even if it is called off the tube.
I love Sunday mornings now. I get up and watch the championship highlights, then the recorded Match of the Day, then the Football League Show. Love streaming.

Haven't seen too much of this weekend's football but can I make a plea to the Premier League clubs, please spend some of your ill gotten gains on some bloody net pegs!
Too many goals are currently having their aesthetic completely ruined by the fact that as the ball hits the back of the net the bloody goal flies up in the air, that stupid metal frame thing is clearly not doing the job so peg the bloody thing down.

You get more and more bitter as the seasons progress, Hobbes.

It was Dele's goal to which I was referring, if that were not obvious.
He did very well to get on the end of the cross and turn it in. A lot of other players wouldn't have got near it.
But, y'know, if you can't nail him for losing his temper, best to rummage around for something else, eh?
