MOTD

3rd last . We are slowly moving up the pecking order.

Thanks for the incredible coverage.

Thanks for the incredible coverage.

First game in, and I'm already sick of them bigging us up.

[Cliftonville Villlain]

We never gave a shit about coverage or why our English players never made their national side. Always under the radar. Under Unai, they will learn.

Indifferent at best to Ipswich usually. Though hope Axel does well this season.

But seeing Sheeran laughing and joking in the corporates there on MOTD I hope they go down with the lowest ever points total and zero home wins.

You hope Ipswich go down because Alan Shearer was at the game?

Southampton looked very good against "everyone's favourite second team" even before the sending off. Playing away at Newcastle they had stats similar to Liverpool who were playing against a promoted side. Yet the BBC is just full of "breath-taking" football for Plop.

Watching MOTD 2, Alex Scott is an appalling host.
 
Good evenin', wasss appnin', Birminun etc. She's thick as mince.

When did speaking properly become redundant as a requirement for being a BBC presenter? Pundits yeah, they've never been the brightest, but there should be a standard for a presenter and she falls way below what I would expect from someone anchoring a show.

Also, if you thought our non VAR decision was bad, have a look at the Palace "goal'. Eze scores a worldie from a FK but as the ball is about to hit the net, the ref blows his whistle for a supposed foul on the edge of the box. There was no foul and VAR would have ruled the goal was fine but the ref had already blown his whistle a split second before the ball hit the net so VAR can't get involved.

Absolute farce.

[Risso]

Yep, she's appalling. She's clearly being lined up for the main MOTD day job as well when Lineker calls it a day. Either her or Jermaine Jenas, who is just as bad.

Ref was looking for the fouling and blew well before the ball hit the net when he perceived some had happened. As far as he knew, it was a cross or the keeper would have got it. You are correct it wasn't a foul as such but he is also recently promoted so would have been used to calling things on the fly rather then giving a VAR cushion. It will be a learning experience.

We don't appear that prominently in the MOTD opening credits this season. Last time round I'm pretty sure there was at least a full second of Dougie Luiz celebrating a goal with the Holte mosaic in the background. Not sure who to blame. Never did like Huw Edwards though - has that disdainful look with the curled lip, (see also Rio Ferdinand) that makes him look most unpleasant.

Some achievement that - we go from 4th to 9th in 24 hours and only 2 games happened in between.

Still had time for Danny Murphy to discuss Liverpool. Not to mention this headline. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn02gdl9wyvo
