    Minimal highlights and no analysis, what a joke

    Good it sucks that I can't watch our extended highlights most weeks and have to settle for Match of the Day's 3 minute coverage!

    I wonder what position we would have been on Bore oF The Day if we had lost?

    Its a joke. They didn't even show all the highlights, not even the sitter that Baton missed and then they did no analysis!

    Slightly off topic but, did anyone see the boy with one leg taking the penalty at half time, he managed to get real power behind it! Good for him anyway, not letting his disability getting in the way of the sport he loves.

    Yes, was really pleased for him that he did so well. The younger kids before him did quite well too!

    To be honest we're mid-table and looking unlikely to feature in the relegation battle. We should recognise that many Championship fans were feeling this way last season when we were on the TV almost every week!

    Is it so important to be on MOTD early?

    It's not so much about being on early but more about getting decent coverage rather than just goals

    I thought it was wrong to give as much coverage to West Ham and Man Utd when the BBC knew the full game was televised live by Sky

    MotD took the piss last night Arsenal's 0-0 match highlights were twice as long as our 4-1 win!

    Thats what bothers me, and they did it again this week, the first two games were on Sky and ESPN, the Arsenal game having only finished 3 hours before MOTD starts. I know they can't just assume that everyones got Sky, but surely a fan of the teams involved would have at least popped to the pub or something? The focus needs to be on games that haven't already been on TV in their entirerity.

    They pre-choose which game's are going to feature first, I'm sure of it. Whenever we have a top commentator at our games, we always feature as on of the first games, unless it's a 0-0 draw.

    You would think that would be common sense, but maybe the people at the beeb are short on that!
