    The FA Cup final is on BT as well isn't it?

    It's on BT and BBC so we can all watch Palace v United!

    DO NOT BE CONTROVERSIAL. No way United get past West Ham.

    At least with my half and half scarf I'm guaranteed a finalist

    Pretty sure we'll not be headlining tonight's show after that performance!

    But still got 3 points to show for it.

    We're not last tonight. Everton v Soton pipped us to the wooden spoon I'm afraid.

    A big shame that, but the BBC have still managed to break our match report on their website. Hasn't been working for a while.

    Looking forward to hearing how Gomes is a liability with a penalty saving record.

    No according to Jena's there was no argument about both. It is clearly a dive. I can only assume that Jena's has laid a :whoosh: trap

    Utterly pathetic. Sinclair even thought Wisdom's leg breaker in the Norwich game wasn't a pen.

    Linekar said we'd had an excellent season or something like that. What more do you want?

    Some people just like a moan I think. MOTD is an excellent show & you only have to compare it to what we had to watch last year to realise how good it is. I'd be more worried if they spent ages talking about a ****e game.

    How come I was able to watch last night's episode at 0:30 (way after it had finished) now I have to wait until midnight on Monday to view it again?

    Haha Danny Murphy says he think he'll struggle to find one Watford fan who wants QSF gone.

    Amazing, how much does he get paid for that wonderful insight and research?

    Well more fool him then!

    Mind you there haven't been mass protests or people ringing in the likes of 606 so he wouldn't know I guess.

    Murphy will have seen the QSF banner and heard the incessant lolololo and assumed Watford fans are protesting the sacking,

    It's an obvious leap to make, to be fair.

    Didn't show Jurado's 35 yard screamer, didn't show the potential red card last man tackle on Deeney.

    As well as the apparent "struggle to find one Watford fan who wants QSF gone", the insightful Murphy also said "they've had a bad run of late but that's no reason to sack him". Off late meaning 5 months of late, which is basically more than half a season.

    Awful programme. Only watched it for the highlights and even those were poor and misrepresented.

    In fairness to Murphy he has been a blithering idiot all season so why would he change now?

    Whilst I know forums such as this one are not always reflective of the club as a whole I never understand why "pundits" don't take five minutes out of their week (OK, 20 x 5) to quickly browse forums. They'd get at least a better idea of how supporters feel even if they do not universally agree. He could have found out in a few minutes that, at the very least, Watford supporters were split on QSF leaving. Too much like hard work I guess.

    There will be no MOTD2 on Sunday night. It has been moved to Monday night so the bbc can continue to gush over Jurgen Klopp some more while continuing it's current vomit-inducing love-in with Liverpool.

    What happens if the 2 games today are real crackers and that match tomorrow night is a dull 0-0..

    Do they still show the latter first?

    Irrelevant.


    If the Monday game is tedious they will have a feature on Jurgen's spectacles, to make up the time.

    So they move MOTD2 for a match between a couple of has been clubs from oop north (even though most fans of at least one of them live in or around Guildford) yet the other Monday night they chose to ignore a couple of Premiership heavyweights- Burnley and Watford- when Sky moved them to the graveyard slot?

    Actually on reflection that was a bonus!

    If there was no MoTD2 last night because someone thought Boro vs Watford would be a stinking pile of the proverbial dog waste, then I take my hat off to their foresight.

    And of course, it shouldn't need to be said that Southampton vs Burnley is about as appealing to the neutral fan as sniffing a wee sample from someone who eats lots of Sugar Puffs.
