I think all highlights of all games felt rushed last night. No Match had a great amount of time spent on them, the highligts were short and none had a 'full analysis', instead maybe picking up on one point per team.

I presume it's something to do with the midweek edition, and the late kick offs.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

You must admit though, putting Tuesdays Arsenal vs. Chelsea game before us was a bit maverick. I thought they always showed 'yesterdays' games at the end, and prioritised that days matches.

I don't know, but television generally has many, many people who (let's say) you wouldn't be surprised to hear had 'Brighton tendencies'. And lest anyone should accuse me of unfounded stereotypification; I used to work for a TV company and one of my daughters now works in TV. Let's just say you'd think twice about picking up a fiver if you dropped it in the cloakroom!

Its why I tend not to watch MOTD any more, 3 mins of highlights gives you no understanding of the game

I think there's a marked difference between the week-end editions of MOTD and the midweek. The week- editions have several hours in which to do the analysis of the afternoon and early evening matches whereas the midweek ones have barely any time to edit and analyse the evening games and, therefore tend to be of a poorer quality.

Also, when pundits are talking about particular players in their analysis, it's inevitable that they will need to include some clips from the game that hadn't been shown in the highlights.

You don't leave it alone for a second, do you.

Leave that to the politics slot.
