Obviously showboating, not even a mention on MOTD.

Which really pissed me off...

Any other Top 6 player who did that would have been carried aloft the shoulders of Right said Fred and Gary Leicesterker and paraded to the world. When you play for Brighton you could score with your pecker from 70 yards and not get a mention. :glare:

It also looked like playing Brighton, even if you're Man Utd, slides you down a few spots on MoTD. We appear to carry some form of handicap!!

Motd showed our goal and that was it...Brighton didn't contribute anything else in the game

This pissed me off. The last 15 minutes was all us and the only thing they showed was a free kick which came to nothing just as the final whistle went.

It made the single line used from Chris's interview, seem completely deluded.

And yes.. I can't wait for his first goal.
Hopefully it will be in front of the North, or the winner against Palace.

The bloke is a class act.

Whilst it is no surprise it is disappointing MOTD made it all about ManU especially as they end the highlights with the stat we had 5 shots on goal and nearly 50% possession but make it look like plucky little minnows had to defend like hell.

We were the first match shown last week. Definitely felt like 4th match in was about the right slot for ours last night, can't argue with Wolves vs Leicester, and Liverpool vs Palace being ahead of ours.

His turn just before the pass is also worthy of a mention - almost put the defender on his backside.

Yep.

That's how it is going to be until the end of the season. Soskjaer is the ''Media Darling'' at the moment and they want to use every United Victory as a stick to beat Jose Mourhino with between now and the end of the season and the only way they can do that is to keep highlighting the changes in attitudes and attributes of the United players.

Propper was superb yesterday.

Everyone knows by now that we never get the fair share of our chances shown on MOTD. If there is an away game I can't get to then I always record the 30 minute official Premier League highlights that are shown overnight on Sky. Generally get a much more balanced set of highlights which is about 25 minutes of action and no analysis.

Pundits ought to be be embarrassed. There should never be a match where, from their comments, you don't know the other team. Aside from MoTD, also getting a bit hacked off about Big Six bias in so many ways and it really devalues the Premier League. OK, not quite Big Six bias, but particular focus for my ire this week was Salah repeating his both legs up, backwards bum drop that he did against Gross to win his penalty. This week against Palace and the pundits to a man saying it was an obvious dive when it wasn't given, yet against us, the same move was an obvious penalty when it was given..

....and after he strikes it, having put his weight through the ball in an improbable manner, the way he need nonchalantly wanders off like a satisfied golfer.
Jose did similar after spanking the ball at West Ham last season. Very cool.

If Pogba had played that cross, they'd have been wetting themselves about it on MOTD, saying it justified his £80M fee and replaying it 20 times.

No doubts in my mind Pröpper has improved a lot since his first few games , looks to have potential for even more progress which is very encouraging ... the only negative is sometimes he looks nervous & that leads to the odd mistake , something that more game time & experience will surely eradicate
