The main gripe yesterday is they put Spurs on before us . And yes it does matter. It says everything about how they feel about us without actually saying it.

Nah, if we lose they will put the game on first, but if we win, they will put the game on last.

To be fair to them isn’t that more down to the fact that our game had been televised? I always get the impression that the Saturday live games are given less priority in the running order as the majority of people who watch MOTD have probably already seen them.

If you go on to the Saturday Match Report's on the BBC teletext sports page, our game is not even mentioned.

That would be the sensible conclusion to draw, wouldn't it?

Not sure that's true , pretty sure I've seen Big6 games on live then 1st on MOTD .
Spurs Palace should have been down the pecking order. Our game had top and bottom connotations

It really doesn’t matter….you might need to develop a thicker skin…in the scheme of gripes motd running order is completely and utterly pointless. 

5.30 game is rarely high up the order unless something mad happens because of the editing etc

They have, but even last week both Citeh and Arsenal were below us in the pecking order as both matches were on live that evening.

Not to mention it kicked off later, so less time to review and edit.

The order of play too. Spurs kicking off at 3pm and winning meant they gained ground on us to the viewer who isn’t as invested in league positions and hasn’t been following the day’s results.

If Luton had gone on to do a full turnaround and won, i'd put money on it being on 1st or definitely before the Spurs game. Villa winning didn't suit their narrative.

So something you can't prove is proof of the MOTD conspiracy.

Ok then.

They didn't even do any coverage of Luton post match they were fawning so much over Watkins and our comeback.
