To a point. They say they don't have an order beforehand, but they only send outside broadcast units to 3 games. So what's significant about those 3 games that justifies the extra expense if they're not what they're intending to broadcast as more highly featured games? You can also look at the commentators sent to each game as to where they're expecting their order to be. Games can jump out of place in the schedule if there's something massive happens, but unless it's something like us shocking Arsenal at the Emirates, or taking a point at Man City we're not going to bump too much. They do also say that they try to schedule the games so that the title race is first, then the relegation battle, then the European race, with midtable games left til last. Unless Fulham did Chelsea today I can't see the running order being all that different at noon today to what it's ended up with as there's no title race to consider (only one team involved playing) so relegation games are priority and we were a 6 pointer, probably only the Everton game that you'd put lower down the order than it is. http://www.footballwriters.co.uk/features/behind-the-scenes-at-match-of-the-day/
It's a disgrace he is not in the England side instead of Cashley. Loved the way the Everton fans were idolizing him only 6 weeks after he put in a transfer request!! Football fans, Eh?
This. Apart from the start to the game against Chelsea, we look like a team that has been in the league years. That's twice on five Match of the Days that Gary has interviewed Steve; it appears we are their favourite team perhaps
Brucie really gave a **** about Aluko's sister scoring. Gave that question/statement the respect it deserved.
Surprised at the realistic comments. Steve Bruce is just the sort of manager clubs like us need, one of the lads. He never takes the credit for a win, but always shoulders the blame for a loss. I loved the build up to the Aluko goal. He will get all of the focus but Brady is the lynch pin for the win.
Brucey is a very popular man in English football. Very few former players, journalists and other people associated with football have bad things to say.
