MOTD is now a waste of space; unless we have had a really good result I can't be bothered with it.
One day, when I have nothing better to do, I'm going to sit down with a stopwatch and work out just how many minutes is dedicated to the football and how much time is spent listening to overpaid numpties dissecting the previous match. I'm really not interested in endless replays of incidents such as the off ball battle between Chelsea and Arsenal players resulting in a red card and, studio comments suggesting that it really wasn't that bad after all.
Presumably they would draw the line at a player retaliating by pulling a knife on an opponent. But, then again, perhaps not.
This win at all costs attitude that condones such behaviour and sometimes actually encourages it is just one of the reasons why this once 'game of the working man' will ultimately die.
Even down in the National league, you see players being constantly pushed in the back by defenders attempting to win an aerial battle. Scuffles in the box at set plays and referees just turning a blind eye to it all.
All very sad!!

Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
