Our best performance of the season for me. Totally on top from start to finish and a clean sheet for the first time since the Pope was an altar boy.

I thought we started at bit slowly, Keita was quite sloppy but grew into the game and did well in the end.

Jonathan Pearce sounds slightly disappointed when Liverpool score, he's not like that on Robot Wars and is far more enthusiastic.

Yeah but the robot getting smashed to bits stood a chance before the fight started, Bournemouth were always getting smashed here, just down to how many we wanted, biggest away banker this season

[Macphisto80]

That was it. That was your analysis, lads. "Here's a pass. Here's a goal! See that free kick there? Dead good, it was! Thank you and goodnight!"

[Butter Keks]

That's how I like it though, nice and routine. Yep Liverpool having fucking won again here are the goals. Almost a sense of fucks sake they won again.

[Skeeve]

Just had a horrible thought - in 10 years we'll have Harry Kane as a pundit on MoTD 

Amazon will have hopefully saved us from Sky and MotD by then.

[thaddeus]

Looked like a pen for the arm around the neck of Deeney.  Never mind 

[DonkeyWan]

*rolls eyes*

How the fuck do Shearer and Keown not think that is a penalty?

[Macphisto80]

LOL yeah, that's the impression I'm getting. Like they just get us out of the way asap because there is fuck all to chew on.

MotD

*10 minutes wanking off over an offside goal and dodgy penalty*

"United BACK Waheyyyy!"

"Coming up, the team 22 points ahead of them. Reckon we can knock that one out in under 60 seconds"

With Captain Bellend and Jacamo Jenas?

Absolutely this all day. 3-0 win away and 14.points clear of the bestest team ever in the whole world... I don’t want anyone going over the top or handing us the title before Christmas.

We’ve been first in the running order and we get the praise when we do something exceptional for this Liverpool team - spanking City or handing Everton their arses and getting another manager sacked.

Who gives a fuck where we are in the running order? The only order that matters is the league table in May.

[ChrisLFCKOP]

Bissaka the best one v one defender in the league? 😂

Well VVD is the best 2v1 defender in the league...

[Iska]

Well-put, it comes with the territory.  It’s also the same thing City moaned about all last year, so let’s not get in that boat.  At the end of the day struggle makes for better TV than good football does, and I’m fine with not being on first when we aren’t having to struggle.

[Statto Red]

Can't remember the last time i watched a full edition of MOTD, the heyday was Jimmy Hill & early Premier League eras, i only sometimes watch MOTD for our highlights, even then you can go to youtube for the official upload from SKY without having to wait all day for MOTD.

Which is how we should like it to be.

I'm pretty sure that back through the 70's and 80's, despite our league dominance, we often featured last or towards the end in the MOTD running order.

It never bothered us as it actually sometimes gave us a chance to see and learn a bit about other teams and players before we played them.

And as Al said...

You had a bump on the head??  There wasn't a running order back then.

Unless I'd come in via the main stand car park and seen the trucks, I used to look at the gantry when I walked in the ground to see if the camera was there. No camera, no MOTD no highlights.

[The Gulleysucker]

Maybe my memory is faulty but it's how I recollect it, there often would be more than one match shown.

[rob1966]

I think he tries no to get to overexcited, but he does gives us the plaudits though, Nabys goal, words like Magnificent, brilliantly done, could any defence have prevented what Salah had done, Keita finished splendidly, little laugh about how Naby used the outside of his boot.  Uses words like outstanding and sublime with Salah.

[rob1966]

I watch the old stuff like The Big Match with Brian Moore - great commentator - on BT Sport. It seemed to move from a single game then a main game and the highlights of another up to this whole show everything.

Used to annoy me as I missed so many goals with surges and going flying in the Kop...

Here you go, from 1970 .. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01g6g0g

ManU v Leeds followed by Chelsea v Derby County

Got to get up a lot earlier than this to catch you out

Some of them robots would've had a better chance of scoring yesterday than Bournemouth

Amen. Sky and The BBC have been digitally disrupted and have no clue what to do next.
Thought Amazon Prime's coverage was significantly better than the coverage we get from Sky.

I remember when MOTD came back with the launch of the Premier League they’d show highlights from 2 games (then became a small segment from the 3rd) with just the goals from the rest with no commentary or anything. So if they picked a game that turned out to be a stinker they’d have to show it anyway.

I remember the goals round up with the music in the background being The Cranberries, Dreams for the first few seasons then The Lightning Seeds, Life Of Riley

[Statto Red]

Speaking of MOTD back in the days before the Premier League, i remember when they would occasionally have highlights from the lower leagues mostly second division[Championship], & the odd Scottish league & cup games, ITV's was the same too.

Quite fun now looking back at the archives[The Big Match Revisited], state of the pitches, which were like puddings from this time of year for the rest of the season, how some teams got the ball & played the passing game with the state of those pitches is unreal, compared with now as pitches mostly bowling greens all year.

I did nearly die of cringe when he said something like "Ho ho ho, it's Mo" though. [emoji15]

Spot on Alan.

I wonder at what point earlier in the week he jotted down that gem.

Good job Alisson didn't have to make a save, otherwise he would have been 'in wonderland'.

[Yosser0_0]

During an episode of Robot Wars there was a robot called 'Hypo disc', he said that watching it in a fight was 'hypnotizing', he also said that the robot 'Razer' was very sharp in the attack, the comments were completely off the cuff! You should watch the show Nick, its a complete hoot.

[Morgana]

Nobody else watching this tonight?

Yep, missed the start, but got it on iPlayer. Dion Dublin and Fletcher (is it?) better than the usual dross pundits. 

[Flaccido Dongingo]

You don't need to bother with MoTD at all now, just watch Sly Sports free Premier league highlights on YouTube

Bluff old traditionalist here! Usually watch MOTD, but that may change if Amazon get more of a shout next season ...

[sinnermichael]

None of Lineker's smug grid on MOTD tonight. Even more reason to watch it.

We're first by the way.

Ten points clear.

Probably why Lineker isn't on.
