No coverage of the Hull fans' demo either. All in all it was pretty crap coverage.

Is Lineker not just having a dig at an arsenal associated player? He always seems to do that.

I got irate last night because I got back late from Hull yesterday and wanted to watch the 'highlights', as you might expect, but instead had to watch a crappily edited two minutes followed by pathetic, smug and useless comments from Messrs Lineker and Hsnsen. And we as licence payers are paying for this! At least with Sky we have an option not to pay.

Well he should take the piss out of a current Arsenal player then, not a previous one!

Lineker's comment about Pulis I think is just him kidding around. Hard to be offended by Lineker. Hansen is just a lazy, lazy pundit who phones it in week after week. It's a shame, when he first became a pundit he was interesting and a step above what we'd had. Now he just phones it in for 90% of MoTD and displays that he's only got any interest in LFC and the top clubs. Sometimes I don't blame him after that long as a pundit, it's the BBC's error for giving him a big contract and pay rise last time out and losing Lee Dixon to ITV as a consequence (who is a much better pundit)

Awful coverage of the game. If you looked at it as a percentage there was too much focus on showing Bruce and Pullis for long chunks rather than play. They could have shown Pullis after the match without eating into their allowance. Chamack has been doing a decent job putting himself about. One could see that getting battered twice by McShane may actually have been a bit 'naughty' and worthy of a card. Ours was the performance of the day when all MOTD has said previously was we are gone

Don't worry, I've just reminded him about his crass comment.

Hansen dines with Delia Smith so I'm sure he sees the put downs towards Norwich's fellow strugglers as a way to stay in her knickers and continue to enjoy her cherry topped wobbly pink blancmange's, full bush tucker haddock sandwich and chocolate ring surprise.

The ex-Producer is a very pleasant female, which I suspect was part of the problem for Lineker. A massive misogynist, allegedly......

Indeed. Lazy and cliched punditry. "Smash and grab" describes a game where one team walks away with a narrow victory having been battered from start to finish.

I'm biased of course but I think we were the better side in all areas of the pitch yesterday, and comfortably so.

Iam sure he started crying when he went off after touching his head then looking at his hand.

Got some very shady stories about Jools Holland, Gary Lineker, Ian Wright and Alan Hansen but I'll be saving them all my biography.

All I'll say is, they are as twatty as you think,

Fair enough. The guy I knew was an up himself twat, who had the insincere smile of a Peter Mandelson and would not stand his rounds in the pub unless reminded, though he would still complain that he was being unfairly picked on, while handing over the money to the bar staff.

No surprise really. The powers that be don't want fans standing up for themselves and the integrity of their club.

Was very impressed with the Hull fans in the first half and a standing ovation from the Palace support as their fans battled with the stewards to get their banner back.

Strikes me as someone who tries to be part of the one of the lads cliché and tries to be funny with his snide comments but it doesn't really work, a bit like Alan Partridge

Very good, can't help wondering what the "surprise" might be though....

Chamakh played very well with a bad cut and should have been given the credit he deserved.

That will be when the drunken old slag pukes in his mouth.

With Lineker I always feel it;s a bit tongue in cheek. With Hansen however, and his mutterings about 'quality', it's as if he still hasn't forgiven Palace for that cup semi-final!

very interesting update on this.

Just checked his Twitter timeline and he has DELETED the tweets re Palace, clearly someone has had a word or he has realized that whilst one stand alone jokey dig in a tweet is ok, three tweets and a snide comment on air was too much yesterday.

People say it's just a silly tweet here and there, but he seemed to be really gunning for us yesterday.
