As per before, I will just do a "series" record and watch the programme at my leisure. I can't see the content being much different than before anyway, if we're fighting for promotion we'll get more coverage, otherwise it will be the usual 30 seconds
To be honest I've mostly resorted to watching the CAFC Youtube channel the day after the game if I want to watch the highlights. Means I don't have to guess which 7 seconds Charlton's footage is shoehorned into the 90 minutes.
The end of the football league show. It's a massive gap to fill. I'll miss mannish walking across the gantry, letting me know there was a cracker at the Lamex that saw 7 goals, 3 yellow cards, 2 posts hit and 5 corners. I'll miss Steve telling me he's played for every club he's asked to do match analysis on. I'll miss Leroy's 73 goals in 244 appearances. I'll miss starting to watch the show at midnight and finish watching it at 5am a week on Wednesday
I actually enjoy the Football League Show. Although Claridge is grating, Manish and Clem come across as quite likable and do their best to capture what is 'unique' about the Football League compared to the over the top, glam nonsense treatment the Premier League gets on Sky.
Does it need punditry? I'm sure in 03/04 ITV had a late night FL highlights show and it was just highlights and that was it, I would much prefer that or something similar to the Bundesliga show providing the highlights were longer and it has decent commentary/voice-overs.
I have never understood why Sky, given their resources, haven't decided to do dedicated separate highlights shows either Saturday-Sunday-Monday or Sunday-Monday-Tuesday to the three FL leagues. Doesn't have to even be done live, just record them and put them out. Also get a proper studio and not broadcast in a cafe ffs.

And according to the link right at the start of the thread. Can I resurrect "Thanks Colin"?
I've no time for links to actual news/stories. I get all my facts from Lifers these days. I'll be damned if I'm going to change my approach any time soon......

Now the FL72 show or whatever it's called shows the goals but we have to have some waffle from an expert (ex footballer).
I'd prefer to see the goals and any major incident but no waffle.
Channel 5 has got big shoes to fill
