If you ever check the hit/view count figures on the official site for extended versus abridged highlights for the same match the short highlights are always way ahead. Attention spans just aren’t what they once were pre the Internet. And to think we used to buy full matches on VHS from the Goldstone portakabin of some right turkeys, BHA 1 Swindon Town 1 etc.

The abridged highlights are released the next day while the extended highlights take at least a week. That's why there is such a big difference in view count- nothing to do with attention spans.

The extended highlights were available the next day. They’re only nine minutes long. We used to get at least 30 minutes a few years ago.

Except for when we lose of course, in which case l'll go for nothing at all, then keep my head down until the next game, in the hope for three points.

Short highlights same day, extended within 24hrs. Same every week.

I was disappointed that the "extended" highlights only ran to nine minutes or so - surely we could have been indulged a little further given the performance had so much to enjoy in it?
