The post concerned pundits - there were 2 of them so no distortion.TheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 6:00 pmIncluding only part of the team to try to distort the statistics to support your argument is probably a sign that you are wrong.
Here's one to get you angry: 100% of the Micahs on the programme were black. All of 'em. It's political correctness gone mad.

Re: MOTD
Limiting your claim of box ticking to the recruitment of just pundits gives even less credibility to your argument.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:14 pmThe post concerned pundits - there were 2 of them so no distortion.
Re: MOTD
It's not just the BBC or Match of the Day, it's all the media now that finds us uninteresting. We were at one time the 'breath of fresh air', the new boys making a bit of a splash by upsetting the odds. But since then a number of 'breaths of fresh air' have come and gone (Sheffield United, Norwich), whilst we stubbornly refuse to slink away, knowing our place. Burnley sticking around longer than they have a right to isn't a story, hence the almost universal wall of indifference.

Re: MOTD
The reason the pundits don’t talk about Burnley is because we aren’t an issue. We are a solid lower to mid table club that will only become interesting when beating the top six. Far from an insult it tells you none among them expect us to be in any trouble again this year, no major headlines.Erasmus wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 9:35 pmIt's not just the BBC or Match of the Day, it's all the media now that finds us uninteresting.

Re: MOTD
this north london derby is all the bbc are bothered about. motd tonight is perfect for them, hardly any other football to show, and the inevitable ex players from both teams who are also inevitably pundits on the programme. the radio bias is extraordinarily swayed towards these two teams on a daily basis.
whilst we are struggling at the moment, the onus should be on this sort of programme to be fair minded to ALL clubs in the division, but it isn't.

Re: MOTD
Ooooh, sorry love, GB News, my bad - I was following your example of posting having had one or two too many......
I apologise profusely to you and the other 17, 999 ardent viewers.
Such viewing figures ! You must be very proud.
Anyway, back to MOTD - I guess the thing to do if the editing or punditry is not to your taste then don't watch it.

Re: MOTD
Not sure why people struggle to understand that most viewers of these shows aren’t particularly interested in Burnley, or Norwich, or Watford.
They aren’t going to be gushing over us having a good player just because it’s a novelty for us

Something nobody has picked up on is why does it appear that Tarkowski is celebrating Leicester's 2nd goal as it hits the back of the net
