Toon no match for Match of the Day
Once again BBC1's Match of the Day failed to do Newcastle (or Wigan to be fair) any justice in their opening day edition. Consistently last season they failed to provide any decent analysis on our matches, even when they shockingly showed our home game against Arsenal last season first. Alan Shearer clearly had plenty to say tonight, but the show ran out of time. Meaning that games requiring less highlights and analysis wasted air time with useless banter. If this was the first time that had occured, or it was rarity, I wouldn't mind. But the fact that it is consistent really annoys me. Some of the things worth seeing from our game today, for both the home side and the visitors weren't even touched upon. Some Wigan fans will have been extremely frustrated at the fact that they didn't even see any of their seven new signings on the field for the simple reason that MOTD failed to show it. Infact fans of Newcastle's opponents shouldn't even bother to tune in, because they seem to have something against us. I know I'm not the first to touch upon this subject and I am one of many who has emailed them about it.
