Match of the Day - New Presenter?

[ramAnag]

I've researched audience figures - MOTD boasts of 33m viewers in 2024 (about 1m a week, say). Pointless peaked in 2024 at 7m for an episode.

No axe to grind. Seldom watch MoTD live and never watch Pointless, but I’d imagine many people, like me, watch recordings of MoTD choosing to skip through the ‘highlights’ of…say the latest dull 0-0 between Southampton and Forest and watch at their convenience. Does watching in this way still count amongst audience figures?

Slip of the tongue should have said Swale

No worries. Nice of you to apologise.

I didn?t

I didn?t

Oops, no you didn’t did you? Never mind, no surprise. As Bernie Taupin almost wrote, ‘sorry seems to be your hardest word’.

Indeed you are, and you enjoy it while it lasts.
Just banter, needed an example of two unfashionable Premier League teams, that’s all.

I watched the other night. Thought you looked like the real deal at times in the first half. Suck up the pedestrian pressure and then hit Liverpool on the break with a clinical finish. Then in the second I thought you looked like Wimbledon of the early nineties. Totally outclassed, lucky to get away with a point and indebted to some excellent goalkeeping.

Still, you’re a lot further along the road than us, no argument about that.

You don't say!

I reckon they're in John o' Groats whilst we're off the coast of Land's End on a leaking rubber ring!

With or without a passport?

We're definitely stateless at present!

Fair comments RA.

Just remember, a little over 3 years ago, we were bottom of the championship with 1 point.
Then we went up without a team. Its been rocky and rough ofr 2 years, but finally paying off. Bear in mind we have spent a fraction of Liverpools spending, in fact our back 5 cost less than 50 million.

Now with us, Bournemouth/ Villa/Fulham/Brighton/ Brentford, have shown there is hope for all of us smaller clubs. It must really grate the so called top six, with United and Spurs being worful

The key is surviving your first/ second season and getting the higher spending allowance, that is an obvious disability.
DCFC as a club size wise are no different.

I just praise our owner, who despite lots in here who hate him, commits his backing financially, to push the club on.
