To be fair, I agree it should be based solely on entertainment but they have to put whatever the viewers want on first. Think of the amount of plastics who wouldn't watch if Man City were on last. Although i'd argue that Man City not beating Norwich is a better story than Hull beating Sunderland.
So the actual highlights (which is what the show's mainly there for) mean less than the story? No chance for me, the games should be on in order of entertainment value mixed with scoreline.
Dont forget that a lot of people who watch Match of the Day do so without knowing the score. I don't know about you, but I love seeing a side dig in and get a result against the big boys. For me, that's entertaining. Oh and seeing as this usually turns into the thread to discuss the Football League show look out for Drinkwater' 93rd minute equaliser. One hell of a strike.
Shame about that. Was enjoying all the Leicester fans on my facebook slitting their wrists about ****ing it up again until that went in. Back to qualifying for the champions league next year again now.
It wasn't so much of a blast. More of a looping 25 yard volley. Great technique and the reason I can barely talk at the moment

Hard to tell if offside or not. Really awkward angle, could benefit from seeing the linesman's view. Not a bad strike from Drinkwater.
That FK was ridiculous too. To be fair I would be pretty upset. Closest I can think of was the Milwall 4-0 I was at, first time I'd been to a match and I was just on adrenaline by how much fun I was having to be too upset, and at that time we were **** anyway. I think the Bolton loss last season, coupled with the Barnsley 2-0 are as upset as I've been, though the draw with Cardiff almost had me in tears if Leeds hadn't done their bit.
Arsenal had 57% possession. I hope that truly puts to bed the myth that more possession = better team.
