Within five minutes of the start of their flagship new football show:
"We especially want to hear from Newcastle fans..."
Then a re-run of the Newcastle game (despite showing it live less than six hours previously)
Followed by an interview with the Newcastle manager (but not the West Brom one)
Followed by Steve Claridge saying Newcastle completely dominated the game (despite admitting that the Newcastle sub keeper pulling off three world-class saves)
On the plus side, though, nice of them to pull out all the stops on the set and have them broadcasting from... a cave.

I'm starting to think you and me were separated at birth.
Also, will the BBC please, for the love of god, get Alan Sheerer/Lee Dickson to either not wear really tight trousers or just keep their f**king legs closed!
The BBC could just transmit the test card image of the girl with the blackboard and it would be better than ITV's football coverage
not in my opinion, this is pretty grim.
If Claridge and Holloway are the two most articulate football pundits the beeb can find, then good luck to us all.
Oh but don't forget, he's all that and a bag of chips...........
Blimey, compared to Harry Redknapps milkmans son and Andy Townsend, there geniuses
Yeah mine did the same
Start of the WBA v Newcastle match was ridiculously biased towards the barcodes - suppose they wanted to get Shearer on so he could give his tedious whine, but it did just indulge the media fascination with Newcastle. Shame as WBA seem to be becoming the only team in recent years who are actually equipped to cope with being a yo-yo side - more interested in how they're doing this year, to be honest.
The Football League Show will be here during Sunday
Well that might be a bit difficult at just before midnight as most people are either out , in bed or too drunk at just before sodding midnight on a Saturday night.
And as someone else pointed out here something which we've all been saying for years is we'd rather have more action and less waffle.
I long since stopped watching these "highlight" programmes live and always sky+ them so I can skip the crap .
Whoever makes these decisions in tv company production meetings really need shooting!!
Didn't see the show however, will iPlayer it later as at fecking nigh on 12 midnight whats the frigging point. I have always hated the time they decide to show these shows too, kids love football, i did when i was a nipper, but was never allowed to stay up to watch it. I hate media, tv radio newspapers, they are all such pricks that run them!!
Oh and is it BBC quota filling or is that woman with the double barrelled surname really the best presenter that applied for the job? Not being sexist as i think women like gabby logan. helen chamberlain (even though i despise soccer am) merit their jobs but seriously doubt the credentials of the woman with the insight last night.
I think Andy Townsend is a damn fine commentator...in fact, one of the best around.
exactly. I'm watching on iplayer, and it's awful. I've skipped through most of it so far to try and find some football to watch.
The bald bloke doing interviews at cardiff sounds like he should be doing children's tv.
Why do they find it so hard to put these shows together? how difficult is it?
Yeah she was shocking, also hated the way she was perched on a desk, sit on a foookin chair woman!! Also what made me laugh about it was when that manoosh presenter dude wanted to talk to her asking what Naaarwich fans were saying, the camara panned up so you could see the cave part of the studio and the bird on the desk, then manoosh yelled the question to her, i was cringing and laughing all at the same time!! What a crock of shite showing the WBA barcode game first when it was on frigging live a few hours earlier!! No sod cares about the laughing stock of football anyway, Newcastle are a joke.
How far in did that occur, i rushed through it and watched parts only, so didn't catch the bird on bog bit??
Jeff Stelling's Saturday Drunk Tank on Sky yesterday was a prime example - know-nothing pundit number one waffled on about how we'd struggle, then know-nothing pundit number two said Norwich would do really well. I'd have liked to have seen the looks on their faces as Colchester's goals kept flying in.
