Indeed when he was substituted they expressed surprise and specifically said they didn’t think he could be injured. They said he threw his shirt at the bench and believed that further suggested he couldn’t be injured.

Shows how difficult commentating live can be.

The issue was compounded because it resulted in talk about Wenger's tactics making no sense bringing on someone only to then substitute them and that line of discussion then continued on 606 with Jason Mohammad and Ian Wright also completely unaware of the injury.”

As soon as Nev criticised Oxlade Chamberlin and Ozil for walking around, somebody must have told him in his ear that Ox is about to be substituted for an injury because he retracted what he'd said by adding "unless one of them is injured".

Of course, Gavin has already done more live games this season than about the last three seasons put together.”

I reckon a lot of people missed it. If it hadn't have been for Beagrie leaning in for the kiss I might have overlooked it myself!

Here's a behind-the-scenes clip from afterwards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tX5PxkDJGI

So, back to Minto presenting all-things Football League.

“Call me old fashioned, but I simply can't come to terms with central defenders who wear gloves. As a consequence, I have always tended to distrust Otamendi.

It is a totally irrational position to hold as his mittens can't possibly determine how well he defends a corner.”

Garth's weekly column on BBC Sport now gets a lot of discussion on Twitter

Watching BT on Saturday night made me realise how weak their Xmas is with the new deal, Liverpool/City is a strong game of course but the next best thing they could advertise during the game is their Score show on Boxing Day

I did wonder if MNF would be based at the ground tonight but David Jones posted a picture of Gary/Jamie on a train down to London last night

They promote BT Sport Score during every match...

Who wouldn't want to discuss the innovative thoughts of Garth?

Indeed the difference is noticable from last season where BT had most of the Xmas games (and from what I remember their Boxing Day coverage was dreadful).

The only thing BT Score has going for it is the frankly odd line-ups which often indicate the show that has no idea what it wants to be. I mean Soccer Saturday isn't highbrow but it's a show that knows its market and what is does and does it well.
It's a huge waste of Jenas's ability (and Pougatch's talents too) for him to be on this show so often.

Coverage was lost early in the second half and didn't come back for 10-15 mins. Of all the games for this to happen in, it was one that finished 5-3 - but fortunately only one goal was missed during the time they were experiencing problems. Could've been a lot worse! "Oh... er... yeah... welcome back... while you've been away there have been... uh... eight goals"

I've not watched Score but I don't see the market for a 3rd show of this nature. Maybe a specialist European show or a football league specialist show (which BT can't do) but another PL results show, not sure there's a need for it.

Presume it's Hawthorne tonight. Co-comm could be one of a few!

Poor by Sky. With it being Mersey Monday I was expecting Paul McCartney and Paul O'Grady.

For BT Sport customers without Sky Sports (which is the shows target audience) its only the second show of its nature, and the other one aint much better.

And the whole debate was done to death, and then some, back in August.

Neville back in the "senior" position on far side of desk with Carragher in the middle.

When Neville was a “guest” on MNF at start of season he went in the middle “junior” position - like other guests do.

Patrick Davison was pitchside.

No Klopp/Neville interaction to report in the post match interview when Klopp spoke live to the studio.

An average of two million people (with a 2.3 million peak) watched last night's game, apparently.

https://twitter.com/SB_Intelligence/...58720096989185

I don't know whether that's the match average or programme average (I'm assuming the former), but what does Monday Night Football typically get?

2m will be the match average for certain – both because Sport Business report match averages and because it’s far too near the peak to be the programme average.

MNF ratings vary wildly due to quality of game – but last season’s overall programme average was 815k. I’d imagine last night’s programme average was about 1.3m.

Last night’s rating is a strong one – not many Sky games match average as high as 2m.
