It's pretty easy to cover 5 saturday games in an hour an 20 minutes on MOTD and feel you're not just focusing on the big teams. Ultimately the big four have the bigest following and need to be the main focus. However I do agree that when a game warrants it, the game review should be longer.

Interestingly they have introduced some interesting threads to their programme - looking at the Sunday papers for example and virtual analysis which if I'm not mistaken was brought in before the BBC introduced it into MOTD. They do also incorporate sections of analysis albeit a lot tighter the MOTD!<br><br>I also don't neccesarily agree that they focus on the big four and alienate the rest. I recall a recent programme where one of their longer games was <br>Villa v Pompey. Another longer game was West Brom v West Ham. MOTD also have an hour and twenty odd minutes to review just Saturdays games, the review show has 52 minutes to do Saturday and Sunday AND attempt to please those who want a little more...I think with that in mind they do a pretty good job I don't think the Review show is intended as a pundit analysis sort of programme so works well in that it does exactly what it says on the tin and reviews games.

England arent even the most focused on tactics and such, compared with the Italians... and the Germans apparently (from what ive heard) I think the fact there are experts is important…of course you dont have to agree with their opinions but dixon and hansen offer interesting tactical insight.
