Even though we smashed the toon today & played some great football they still only put us on as the penultimate game. Thank god for SS match choice. I bet MOTD won't even show Gaston's awesome pass

I was in the car listening to 5 live post match reports . Hardly a mention and even after the Norwich match commentary and every .pretty poor Celtic got mentioned well before us as well . So it's not just Motd but the entire BBC

Even the cheats got more airplay than us

It was a midtable game. Why the f**K does anyone think it deserves to be one before the top/bottom if the table clashes.

 

Some of you are just plain f**king weird.

Because it was a 4-0 win for a team involving several players who are looking to get a place on the plane to Brazil for the WC? I would rather see highlights on The Football League Show of a 4-0 win in a midtable game than a 0-0 or 1-0 from teams at the top or bottom of the table. I get your point about the actual importance of the game, but in terms of "highlights" it deserves to be higher up, for sure.

Sorry Viking, can't agree . Listened to 5live from 3 pm... And every time they went to SMS, during and after game, they were waxing lyrical about hoe beautiful we were playing... Especially the the England boys... Fact is that the game has no baring on the top or bottom..

Hardly surprised tbh :/

Though lovely to see that most people on MOTD's Facebook are supporting us and saying how we should be on first :)

Did you see any of the other results for today? Sounds like it's been cracking, I'm looking forward to watching it.

 

Ultimately MotD is a Premier League highlights show, so they're going to put the games that have the most impact on the Premier League at the front of the show. 8th vs 9th won't have much impact; every game before us apart from one has either title contenders or relegation candidates involved. Arguably our game should be before Man U vs Villa, but we all know of the BBC's obsession with Man U.

Ditto, was watching BBC Final Score and they couldn't praise us enough.

Lucky Jay didn't jump for Lambert's goal, it'd have been given offside otherwise. Must've been a good shout from Rickie.

 

Lallana. Wow.

 

I wonder who'd be worth more in transfer fees on the market, Lallana or JRod?

The name MOTD should have been updated years ago. It is a Premier League 'Highlights' programme, whereas at one time it just concentrated on one game and little else. These days, showing all the games, it must focus on matches where the outcome has maximum meaning. So, the crucial game for 8th place in the table, a genuine 6-pointer, should have been one of the first matches most viewers would be looking out for...

Can't believe we were on so late, can't believe the clowns don't understand the importance of the 8th 9th place struggle. FFS......

 

Quite. El Classico it is not, but it is very very close. Things pivot on whose 8th and 9th, or 10th, or soemthing

I love MOTD.

 

As a Saints fan it goes without saying that I would have put our game higher up the running order. However with my neutral 'hat' on a perfectly logical case can be made for all the editor's decisions. More important than any of that partisan nonsense, the banter between the boy Lineker, Hanson, and Alan Shearer was (yet again) last night quite superb.

 

Surely you'd either need to possess a heart of stone, or indeed be the world's most fanatical Toon fan, not to have experienced one of those genuine 'laugh out loud' moments last night when Alan Hanson described JRods first goal yesterday as: "the worst goal ever conceded" and that Newcastle couldn't have made it any easier for us if they hadn't turned up at all.

 

MOTD is not just another sports programme, it's a national institution like the Royal Family or Steven Fry. :)

I remember the halcyon days of the football league show when we were always top billing for our league which probably had something to do with us being a big club at that level/pushing for promotion That MoTD don't realise that we are the biggest club in the PL and the race for 8th is a massive draw is frankly shocking...................................................

 

 

 

 

........................I thought they were pretty complimentary about us TBH

I don't mind what position we're shown as long as we get a decent coverage. I always record the show and watch the recording after it's started. That way I can skip through the analysis.

 

 

Me too. It doesn't matter what time we're on. Watch the other goals, fast forward through the tedious bull****, and then watch the Saints goals three or four times. No problem.

Never been a Lineker fan with his scripted one-liners and his attempts at clowning on crisps adverts but he was a very good footballer in his day and as a Saints' fan I do admire the amount of praise he gives our club.

While I understand this mid-table game has little bearing on the top and bottom battles, to be fair a 4-0 thrashing of one of the old institutions is an interesting issue in it's own right, but the fact that we completely bossed the game with some excellent quality football with many Brazil bound England players or hopefuls is probably even more important. It was noticeable that the last game got a game analysis, but ours didn't...was it too painful for Shearer to discuss?

It was a mid table game of no importance. The race for title and relegation issues deserve more air time.

Our game next week will be shown higher up the running order i would think especially after we produce the same again.

 

 

you can be fairly certain we won't be sixth on the list next weekend, most likely first - especially if we get points there.

Who is the idiot on sky highlights who thinks that lallana

1)only does it for 20 min spells

2) & also thinks that him being most subbed player is to do with his lack of control of a match

 

1) everything positive is influenced by AL

2) anyone who works that hard deserves own ovation & short rest
