I think it has more to do with our perennial mid-tableness (9th,9th,9th) rather than anything else to be perfectly honest. We are not really involved at either end of the table.
MOTD structure the games in groups in order to tell a story: The 2-horse race for the title, the Champions League bun fight, the relegation dog fight etc. and then just gum anything else that doesn't quite fit at the end. So unless we are the other team in one of those games we are going to get a late billing.

1-1.... The journo must have left early. I must admit some of the games did deserve last billing.

The feeling is mutual. I stopped watching MOTD regularly a few seasons ago. With most games steamed live and highlights available elsewhere I don't need it anymore, hopefully they will stop wasting my licence fee on it.

If they claim Charlie Adam smashing the ball past Courtois from 60 yards out is not the goal of the season then frankly anything is possible.
I remember Jermaine Jenas claiming it was a straightforward routine goal and when asked by Robbbie Savage " why didn't you score straightforward goals like that for spurs then ? " , gave him a death stare and spouted bollocks for two minutes.
Which seemed odd to me because I am fairly sure if Harry Kane had scored a goal like that, Mr Jenas and the MOTD crew would have made it goal of the decade and it would have been repeated endlessly.

I do the same , if I can't get to the game I watch it on the internet for nothing ...you get to see the whole game instead of about 4 minutes ... and for some unknown reason expert analysis always seems to come from Robbie Earle , who is reasonably Stoke friendly. |

The narrative is more important than the quality of football e.g. another miracle on Wearside, a first ever miracle on Soarside. How we do worse though than West Brom, Everton is beyond me. They've become two of the most boring teams in the league?! |

Yes indeed, the "narrative", editing, it is the core skill of television these days, people engage with a story, just chuck out 10 games in number of goals order, or highest up the table order or alphabetical order and all but committed the will switch off in droves. |

It's the pain on Shearer and Linekers faces when they have to praise Stoke that keeps me watching.
How they get away with their biased agendas when they work for a supposed unbiased BBC beggars belief. But let's be honest we still get 5 mins of no HD TV from the BBC every night because they can't be bothered with our area.
We don't need to see him in his underpants to know what a big prick he is. It's plain as day for everyone.
The biggest laugh is that if they replaced him with an ex Stoke player they would go out of their way to be fair to EVERY team in the prem as that's what people from Stoke do.

Being on last just means you don't have to wake up early for the Sunday morning repeat. Swings and roundabouts.

Judging by this thread I would say it is us who don't like MOTD more than them not liking us. Always looking for someone to hate or be hated by, that's the story of this forum. |

I like MOTD and it is still my primary source of watching footy as I don't pay for sky and can't be arsed with streaming that Sunday morning thing with Kamara. Don't think there is any more bias against Stoke than other media outlets who generally find us to be also-rans 90% of the time, probably the same as our attitude to WBA, Palace etc.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the stats showed that we were also bottom of the amount of minutes coverage given aswell.
The clowns that produce that apology of a sports program persistently manage to misrepresent the flow of the game almost week in week out.

I'm hopeful ma lady will think she's missing something and want to try some herself.
Does it involve cold feet and farting?

That is no surprise at all. I think it happens every year, and we have been in the top 10 (in the Premier League) for three years and still can't shift that title," said Hughes.
Fucking hell Hughes, shut your fucking mouth you moaning twat.

I'm working on the basis that you can't get arrested for it (yet) and there is more than one use for a sock other than the obvious.
Apart from a vivid imagination and some horseradish sauce you can be as elaborate as you think fit. (emphasis on fit).
Good luck.
