PhilC Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Pretty annoying. Favouring the big clubs again when the other game had 6 goals. OK the Spurs City game was better than I expected (Didn't watch either live) but thought it was a bit of a joke!? Oh and a side note.... Kane was mentioned in the commentary before the game even started.... and now Mark Chapman is saying "They aren't a one man team"... Why mention him then!? Sorry... late Sunday night rant!

WessexPest Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I thought the Tottenham fans whipped up a superb atmosphere today - one of the few new grounds that has improved on its predecessor. The Etihad couldn’t be that loud if its life depended on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I would expect them to show the better game first most of the time, and the point is more favouring the bigger clubs over the better matches. Prefer to have the option of watching the better games first and then choosing not to watch highlights of the other games, which is often the case on a Saturday. Must be getting old.

Ronnie Sinclair Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 The bigger question is - why don’t they call Spurs stadium White Hart Lane anymore, given it’s in the same place as the old one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, calling it the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium smacks of a lack of imagination rivalled only by the NFL team being repackaged as…the Washington Football Team.

Tbf to the Washington Football Team, that is only temporary(supposed to be temporary). Their previous name was deemed culturally inappropriate and they are taking time to come up with something new. As for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, I believe they are open to selling the naming rights to it. So only a matter of time before it is the BT Sports Stadium or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Best games is matter of perspective (I'm not sure Newcastle fans would say it was the best game), I watched both 90 mins and if I had to watch the whole 90 mins again I think I would watch the Tottenham Man C game - it was so open and end to end I thought it was excellent.

Ah, I see. Cheers that was more like the answer I was looking for. I'd heard Newcastle West Ham was pretty end to end too. Not necessarily just favouring big clubs then!

Sir Geoff Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Personally think City are going after the wrong Tottenham striker. Son is a better all round player and would fit in to City's fluid attacking play much better. Too late now as he signed a new contract at the start of the summer.

And Its Smith Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Spurs v Man City is of more interest to most than Newcastle v West Ham. Although they are of equal interest to me, ie none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Would you hve started with Burnley v Brighton. Most Clarets and Seagulls would consider that the no.1 game but most neutrals have been intrigued by the Harry Kane story - see new post. And as an aside the BBC do everything they think is right (type of commentators, analysts etc etc) and have never cared about their viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red panda Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Sorry if this has been said already, but surely the fact that the reigning champions (and some peoples favourites this season) lost was a major factor. A 1-0 City win might have been placed after the Newcastle match? I like to watch MOTD without knowing the scores, but you can often guess the outcome by where a match appears in the running order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always watch on iplayer, Sunday / Monday morning. Skip through all the talk / analysis (unless Wrighty and Shearer are on) and just watch the football. Took about 15 minutes this morning. Yes I still do the Likely Lads thing and try to ignore all the Premier league scores so I have no idea what is going to happen during each game.

Now you mention it, the fact I knew the scores yesterday probably made me create this thread in the first place, although I think we've established why they were shown in the order they were. Just to clarify, I didn't lose any sleep over it, I just wondered what the opinions were that might have prompted the decision. 3 hours ago, Pezo said: I'm going to backtrack like crazy now .
