It's logic. They're always going to put first the sides who will get most viewers/are the biggest clubs. Just like how they choose TV games. Entirely logical.

Blackburn Rovers fit neither of those criteria...and besides, the FL Show isn't supposed to be like SkySports, where they choose entire live games & have to keep the advertisers happy.

That Thomas Ince bloke looks a player. A bit like Zaha, but with some end product. Bet he's inconsistent though.

I can't believe they're showing extended highlights of a game that was live on SkySports on Friday night.

the programme will be biased to the teams in the north/northwest/midlands as they are closer to the Manchester studio. the physical recording media is couriered and they have more time to work with it.

Blackburn have been Premier League for a number of years - on recent history they are comfortably one of the biggest sides in the division.

Was thinking while watching it; "he is MILES better than Zaha".

The programme description for Football League Show tonight ACTUALLY read something along the lines of: Manish Basin catches up with how the ex Premier league clubs are getting on, including Blackburn v ...., etc." f***ing ridiculous. Why is BBC, with this and their website redesign, playing into the Sky TV "only the Premiershite matters" bollocks?

I thought they did it roughly in league order?

So, the Udinese owners can just buy Watford, sign Zola, fund signings, and arrange loans between the two clubs. How the f*** is this allowed?
Hate shit like that.

Incidentally, i don't think this league is going to be as good as we all feared this season. Every team bar Blackpool has looked ordinary.
