I watched it because I'm sad and I like to see all the goals especially any scored by ex Saints! or against Brighton
I used to watch the Football League Show but not watch Match of the Day. Now it's the other way around. Watching both would take up a good 3 hours of my day. I check the results and that's enough.
Watched the beginning for old times sake...very tough league...some good sides in there. I shall keep my eye on Blackburn because I actually feel sorry for the manager...do you think the fans would rather he'd lost so he could be hounded out?
Just hate that board member more who turned on him in the fans forum. Very naive of him to get sucked in by the Kean-out brigade.
It must be a horrible time to be a Blackburn fan.Their team went down with probably one of the best teams to ever be relegated, they just had a terrible manager in charge who was incapable of managing the team.
Kean's a bit of a tosser, and got his job through some pretty shady dealings, but he doesn't really deserve the treatment he gets. As the FL show, I didn't watch it last weekend as I was away (didn't see MOTD either) but I will probably watch the championship highlights. If I don't though it's not a case of being 'above' it as you suggest Godders; it's on bloody late and without a personal stake in it, for many people it's not really worth staying up for!
It was nice to watch MOTD again...now I have an interest in other teams results. Haven't paid any attention to PL for a few years now (7 I think).
Don't watch it now, I continued to watch MOTD throughout our 7 years away from the prem because of the standard of the games. Other than Saints' games, was only ever interested in watching games that had an influence on Saints on TFLS, (Brightons/ Hudders) etc. Never stayed up to watch league 2. Didn't matetr to me the scores from there, and never will I suspect the way Saints are headed!
I watched it on iplayer, glad we're out of the champ with all the parachute money teams and Leicester... plus Watford, Forest and Cardiff finding new investment.
It's good to watch the Championship because those are the teams we'll be playing next year. Jokes. The Championship is ridiculously strong, out of the three that went up last year only West Ham were expected of doing so. Out of the three to go down, only Wolves should have gone down (on paper anyway). And teams who were quite far away from promotion such as Leeds, Watford, Forest, Leicester etc have spent a lot and I couldn't call who goes up. The three promoted teams all look strong too, a lot stronger than teams like Peterborough who came up recently.
I'll always maintain an interest in the football league, so will continue watching (ableit later in the week)
Good question, StG. I didn't, but I have watched it on iPlayer since. I didn't watch MOTD and I won't bother. Of course, I watched MOTD2.
I would watch it occasionally. The BBC have lost their online Football League highlights, which I would be pretty upset about if we were still in it.
I record them both and only watch the game highlights, no analysis or interviews. Cuts the time right down. I don't want to hear offside decisions being discussed for 5 minutes. I hear enough idiots at work talking about football I don't need to watch some on the telly doing it aswell!
