MOTD

Evertonized · April 22, 2012

How biassed can you actually be? Don't worry that we just came back from 2 goals down, more important that Manchester United were poor!!

and how about Sir Alex Ferguson? So much for giving the opposition credit.

Waste of effin space they are

Azzurri · April 22, 2012

'It was a total giveaway' koff Fergie you beaut, you didn't score four own goals. We deserved it.

But the pundits were nice.

Gwladys Nights · April 22, 2012

I don't know why people are so precious about this kind of stuff. We got plenty of praise.

Nice being 1st on....

No, to be honest, let's be fair here. All Shearer said was that we thoroughly deserved the point and we were excellent on the day, but the goals were helped by awful defending - that's a fair comment for me.

I hate MOTD usually but that was a very fair assessment they gave tonight.

It was what it was though. United are scrapping for the title. To us the fightback is the big story; to the rest of the country it's all about United throwing two points away.

MOTD in shock non Everton praise. Hold me whilst I pretend to be arsed.

Internet lads, hundreds of thousands of sites with endless videos of today's game, yet you still wait with baited breath to be completely surprised by a lack of bias.

Not of the goals, but otherwise yes.

They didn't highlight our own awful defending for their goals, nor did they highlight the sheer quality of our goals. That isn't fair at all.

Some of our play and goals were class today. Pienaar and Fellaini played some of their players off the park. Scholes was anonymous ffs.

They only have so much time to deal with the game mate. The real story, whether we like it or not, was "two dropped points for United". Therefore, they analysed why they dropped two points.

If they'd have concentrated on the United goals only, you'd be fuming about that.

"That was a fantastic header by Jelavic by the way"
"Great volley by Fellaini"

Takes two seconds. They fapped over all the United goals and brushed over the quality in ours.

Saying they displayed what served the story or narrative -- although true -- is not FAIR or impartial. It's the very opposite.

Azzurri · April 22, 2012

The Italian football man knows the score.

For all 8 goals there was good attacking play and poor defending. Not 4 of one and 4 of the other.

A) They did say it was a fantastic header from Jelavic. They just highlighted that crap marking from the Brazilian twin.

B) They did say it was a great volley from Fellaini. They just highlighted none of three nearby United players picked him up.

C) It's a football program that deals with what is going on and appeal to the public interest. Hence why Liverpool vs. West Brom isn't on first as it's not as broadly in the public interest. It's nothing to do with fairness or impartiality, it's common sense. As a neutral, I'd want discussion about a title race ahead of anything else at this moment in time.

The commentator did but I meant the post-match analysis. If they did I didn't hear it anyway.

All I'm saying is there were three games on tonight and ours got the most coverage. Yet they did absolutely no analysis that showed what Everton DID do, only what United DIDN'T do.
