Do any of the media savvy people on here know when it is recorded and why it isn't on BBC HD?

hmm yeh i wondered that too.

Why were our highlights only 2 mins?

Because they're cunts?
 
Not only did we get just the two minutes, they were towards the @rse end of the programme. Again. A pound to a penny says that grinning bluesh!te tw@tburger Lineker's behind it.
 
MOTD is all right, although I gave up last night waiting for us. I know I'm the subject of a fatwa for having the temerity to discuss TV (I don't know why that's SO distressing to some, when endless and largely pointless speculations on hypothetical formations are deemed far more acceptable, but hey ho), but I must say that Stelling show yesterday was REALLY awful. They discussed Arsenal very calmly and politely, with Nicholas and Merson waffling away without interruption, and then Stelling launched into the most bizarre inquisition on Liverpool, demanding Thompson defended Benitez on all of his signings, tactics and plans over the last five years, and all of the others quite openly acknowledged they'd been briefed with stats compiled specially for the topic. It just went on and on and on. You'd have thought we were in a Souness-like crisis. Then they all said we'd win.
 
I watched that too Macca, it was a shambles.
Tony Cottee was being a total prick as well, Thompson looked like he wanted to twat him.
 
Yes, Cottee REALLY hates us. The whole thing though was incredible. I'd not seen the show for a while, but I couldn't quite believe why they just kept going with it. Was it supposed to be 'amusing'?
 
At the end when Steling told Thompson to keep his hair on, I thought they just did it to get a rise out of Phil.
But Cottee was just being a cunt. Sure Lucas' reaction wasn't very good, asking for a card, but there is no way he slowed down to draw the foul. Then when Steling asks the panels predictions they all say a home win, but Cottee takes that bit further and says 'Liverpool, just'.

Wanker.
 
They should put Souness in the studio. Whereas Thompson always does well to stay dignified, Souness would have none of this shit.
 
I dunno SG, Souness has a gig on RTE these days and Giles and Dunphy rarely let him speak and rip the piss out of him for the most part.
Even Bill has a go now and then. It's funny.
 
I've given up watching it TBH. It's so pathetic it doesn't even wind me up any more.

Got to say that IMO at least part of the reason why they do it is Thommo himself. Sorry but Bignose just isn't the most articulate of people at the best of times, and it's hard to watch him trying to get his words out when (a) he's annoyed and (b) the rest of them are all cawing around him like so many vultures squabbling over a carcass.

I just wish they'd invite the King in and try it on with him. He'd rip them all new ringpieces.

That's disappointing.

It is to an extent, but Souness does come with some utter tripe on the show.

I love it when Kenny comes on as match comment, through rarely when he does it he tears them to pieces. I remember him ripping Jamie (I'm a chelsea fan now guv'nor) Redknapp a new one last time.

EDIT, just read Jules comments. Quiffing of the highest order on my part.

Heh, how many posts have you prefaced that with now?

Saddo.
 
What people should have watched was Garth Crooks on bcc full score, him and mark Bright went into one regarding adebayeors goals. Garth saying is was more than acceptable and normal while Bright was saying as a professional footballer who has been to world cups etc he should have known better.
Poor Gabby had to cut of Garth off about 10 times cos he kept trying to justify it bla bla he got stick from them bla bla, and Mark Bright saying he should have known better and he is a professional he understood passion etc etc but he should have known better.
Garth then goes to him ooh professinal like when you smased Linnigan in the face!!! What an absolute nutter

TBF Linighan probably ended up better looking after that.

You actually wasted time making that comment? Why? Do you really regard your own choice of topics as beyond criticism? What the hell is your problem?

Hes also very boring, cant stand watching him.

Yep, whenever Souness is on Sky and someone spouts shite about LFC he fixes them with that icy stare and then gives it back. Deep down he is still a fan of the club and its traditions. Its a pity this maturer Souness didn't do this as a manager.

I switched onto that yesterday too in a desperate attempt to avoid Sky Sports.

Its an awful line up on BBC. Bright, Crooks and Keown. Does it get worse than that?

I don't normally subscribe to this theory that pundits hate us but Mark Bright really does seem to have an issue with us. No idea why.

I actually think that what Souey did as manager and what he does now in interviews both stem from the same thing, namely his genuine love for the club. Souey's problem as Liverpool manager (it wasn't a problem at Rangers, quite the opposite in fact) was that he was desperate to get us back to the top in double-quick time, instead of working patiently towards it. He also put his hand up after a couple of years, acknowledged that things weren't working out and offered to walk away. At that stage Moores persuaded Souey to stay (triggering at least one resignation from the board in protest), with the result that another year passed and things got even worse before he finally did leave.
 
I suspect a lot of the digs at Thommo are due to his personality, he does get wound up, I also suspect he is the kind of fella who would constantly be pointing out that the southern cunts he is working with were never good enough to get into the side he was in.


fuck em.

it will make it all the sweeter when we "unrealistically" win the fucking league next may.
 
That just shows how amateurish the show is - if they want to wind up a panellist they should do it off-air.
