How can this tosser come out with a statement like that? 'it's nothing personal' then what the **** is it for **** sake? FANS regularly complain about their club’s place in the Match Of The Day running order – and now Sunderland supporters have the stats to back up their argument. No team in the Premier League has been shown last on the BBC highlights programme this season more often than Sunderland, who have occupied that slot seven times. That is once more than Aston Villa, and twice more than both Swansea City and Crystal Palace. Sunderland have been shown first on the programme, hosted by Gary Lineker, once this season – and that was the 8-0 drubbing at Southampton in October. Meanwhile, both of the times they were on second also ended in defeats, to Arsenal and Manchester City respectively. However, the BBC insists the running order is “not personal”. The BBC’s head of football, Mark Cole, said: “It’s not personal. “We’ve got a couple of Sunderland fans in the office and the chap who does all our stats is a Sunderland fan, so he’s keeping a particular eye on it. “If they’re on last by the end of the season the most, then it means they’ll still be in the Premier League, because they won’t be drawn into those big relegation battles that feature highly in the programme.” Meanwhile, Newcastle United have been in the last slot just twice this season, while they have been on first three times.
When you say match of the day ****ers. you could have easily been refering to these please log in to view this image or an even bigger ****er please log in to view this image
Yeh we have been poor more than a few times but that does not mean we should be placed last on motd.other teams I'm sure have been just as poor.they haven't been placed last.
when you consider that we have had around half a dozen 0-0 draws its hardly surprising! we have been awful to watch!
Aye! You would think that they would mix it up a bit. The running should be.....**** game, good game, **** game, good game, **** game, good game etc! It would keep everybody watching, instead of switching off before the end!!!
