I hope not, I really don't need to be told that Dave from Norwich is happy because his team won, or that Joe from Doncaster thinks the ref was poor. It's just a waste of time. I have no problem with the way she presents it, it's the fact that it exists at all that annoys me.
Apart from that, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s coverage of football is fantastic, better than we have a right to expect. Keep it up!

Is it just a case of watch the following Football Focus and hope they may get shown in a brief roundup, or will brief highlights be available online or on the red button?

At 6th Aug 2010, Lewis Wiltshire wrote:To comment three - we do not have the rights to offer midweek Premier League games online, basically.
Let me explain - there is a difference between live online 'simulcasts' and 'on-demand' content.
Simulcast means that when shows like Match of the Day and Football Focus are on TV we can 'stream' them on the website. But we cannot offer them as on-demand afterwards.
The exception, when it comes to the Premier League, is that MOTD2 will be in iPlayer, and MOTD2 has all the goals from the weekend. We have the rights to put MOTD2 into iPlayer from Wednesday mornings, which means you will be able to see all the goals from the weekend.
This doesn't apply for midweek goals. Although I believe you will be able to see those on Yahoo's site - they are a new Premier League licensee.
Our site will have all the SPL and Football League games on-demand, whether midweek or weekend.

This is a real loss for League One and Two fans.

Players who play for pride and not money, sounds like proper football to me.
Also, why only show live Championship games? Leagues 1 & 2 have entertaining, open and full blooded matches.

If only the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ aired live Premier League matches rather than me being forced to endure Andy Gray, Richard Keys et al. At somebody else's house, obviously - I'm not going to give Sky my money.
But why does Phil McNulty have to stay?

I e-mailed many times and did not my e-mail read out and yet the same people got theirs read out.
Plus, why cant the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ get more than 10 Games from the Championship?
As pointed out a few times, 4 Teams virtually miss out and yet the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ had many teams missing because of its obession for Newcastle and do the Football League Show actually have some decent titles?
The titles were terrible and horrible yet you spend Millions on the Match of the Day titles???
NEW TITLES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to the popularising English Leauge and other European games the football fans switch to their TVs and the local media gives vast media coverage on overseas football games.
I hope the country's once the most popular games come back to its normal and be fans would turn up in droves.

At 8th Aug 2010, Tina wrote:I agree with Watford56, I never saw Reading featured as a main match last year, and I know Doncaster fans also feel they never get coverage. Please can we have a bit more variety, Newcastle and West Brom every week got so boring last year.
Also why do we get the same match twice so often; eg yesterday Leeds-Derby was live, and then also got extended highlights (?) and this happened last year too.

But one little error - and M instead of a K - makes all the difference. All too many errors like these popping up but this particular one is ridiculous. Please change.
