Match of the Day in military shocker

If you saw Match of the Day on Bank Holiday Monday night you'll know what I'm talking about.

Some bizarre footage of two people landing a plane on a military strip or airstrip was suddenly inserted where there should have been an interview with Alan Pardew.

Peculiar.

Mind you, that's the problem with Easter weekend - there's too much sport and not enough expert analysis going round.

Take Sky - Saturday you've got Jeff Stelling and all the faces. The Monday version, it's Rob McCaffrey, Scott Minto and a bag of peanuts.

MOTD suffered a similar climbdown. Mark Bright will whinge until the cows come home, so who can blame the editor for slotting in a bit of a livener for the heavy eyelid brigade?

Certainly perked me up and infinitely more interesting than Shearer anyway.

that was a bit bizarre - those windscreen wipers were more interesting than listening to gabby logan and mark bright going on though.

for a minute i thought the airwaves had been taken over - apparently not.
