Forgot to record it on Saturday .. what's it like?
+1Much the same as Quest, but Colin Murray is a 1,000 times better as a presenter and much more passionate about the EFL.
I agree about the xG latte bollocks.I find them all a bit weird to be honest ever since the lower leagues got their own dedicated highlights show, maybe about 15 years ago now on the BBC with Manish and a few others, who’s only jobs were to read out fans tweets saying the were over they moon with a win. .
The Quest version was probably the best because of Colin Murray and they tried to do some analysis with those two fellas, but I personally find myself turning off from people who bang on about Xg, it’s the hipster skinny white guava bean oat milk latte of football. . Behind the data and faux algorithms of Xg it’s still largely someone’s opinion that has been transposed as analytical certainties. You only have to look at how varied different companies’Xg’ can be for certain teams and situations.
Anyway I digress, there’s plenty of online highlights from the clubs themselves and places like Sky to watch at your own leisure and often cut out the guff these shows put in as fillers.
Maybe it’s just me, my old age and having scouted for lower league football and still do it part time for a few amateur sides I watch an inordinate amount of lower league football and just find you can do a better job yourself of watching the highlights and then analysis/ making your own mind up on things than these shows provide.
Sorry a major waffle there, to basically say it’s not very good.
There can’t be more than 45 minutes of original football highlights in a 2 hour show.
The rest is insipid presenter plus pundit talking over highlights we have already seen once, or adverts.
The programme without highlights is about 90 minutes in total.Exactly right. Can only be watched on recording with all the ads and analysis cut out. Just 45 mins of highlights.
Doesn’t tick a box though does he Murray. Being good at your job is the last thing that gets considered.Much the same as Quest, but Colin Murray is a 1,000 times better as a presenter and much more passionate about the EFL.
This is where having recorded it you can wizz through the bullshit & adverts.There can’t be more than 45 minutes of original football highlights in a 2 hour show.

He had the job for ages though! Must've ticked boxes. And I think he chose not to continue?Doesn’t tick a box though does he Murray. Being good at your job is the last thing that gets considered.
Agree. They should use the piano/ dance music that promoted the EFL spp last season!Hire Colin. Change the crappy jazz club style theme music.
Murray turned it down.Doesn’t tick a box though does he Murray. Being good at your job is the last thing that gets considered.
