Not too sure I'd be holding my breath if I was any of you guys (gals?). If they do reply (unlikely), they'll say that MOTD is a programme of opinions. Even if that opinion is a load of bollocks like last night.
Agreed. Football isn't black and white so even if their opinion seems biased you can't really complain about their opinion differing to yours.
The only kind of complaint that might get through the filters is a complaint about lack of coverage of certain aspects of the game (Silva's influence or Rodwell and Neville's close 'monitoring' of him). Even then I reckon they would just reply with some bollocks about how they 'only have so much time allocated to each game' and so therefore they are 'restricted in what they can show'.

Last year they and the press made a big deal about a couple of occasions when Carlos and Mario didn't take kindly to being subbed, claiming it showed unrest in the camp and that Mancini was struggling to maintain control of the dressing room.
Yesterday, Suarez does the same thing to their mate Kenny and it's all chuckles and 'no striker likes being substituted'.
Hypocritical and lame.
As for Everton, it has all pretty much been said and shows what we already knew.
Moyes and some of their fans, like DSOB, are as graceless, embittered, envious and undignified in defeat as they have been in victory in the past.
His myopic campaign against Vinnie and the officials is a smokescreen to cover his own failings. Nobody else is taken in, except his golfing pal Hansen.
If that is an example of this 'class' and 'spirit' that football's self-appointed moral guardians possess (just don't mention institutional racism or Hans Segers) and which we are repeatedly told we cannot buy, then they are welcome to it.
As ever, shackattack and standup remain their few diplomats to planet earth.

There's a 'do you want a reply' box, which I and presumably the others have said yes to. So I'd assume they have to and will reply.

Just seen the highlights and even by MOTD standards, wow.
Summary seems to be -
Hansen starts off by commending Everton for working incredibly hard;
Then says on another day Kompany could have been sent off;
Then criticises City's style of play - difficult to play that system at home, and we have to rely on brilliance or luck, and we "got the latter";
Then praises Everton again for having the whole team virtually on the 18 yard line;
Then a dig at Balotelli with a completely unnecessary "to be fair" thrown in;
Another mention of Everton being desparately unlucky to concede;
Lawrenson then skipping the question about a Manchester league title, preferring to question our system of playing
Hansen rounding up by commenting on the game from last week when we "stopped playing"
So.. no praise for the win
nothing about fantastic performances from Silva and Richards
nothing about City's resilience to keep plugging away against a team who clearly came for a point and attempted to kick Silva off the park, and who have reputation for being tough to break down.
Can't be arsed writing a complaint to them about bias, but don't blame those who do!

Location: Blue Moon Question to the BBC why employ Dinosaurs that no one under 18 will know who the fuck they are
Another take on that.
Why employ boring, barely coherent jerks like Hansen who has driven me mad for years!
It's the same stuff repeated week after week - same format, same smug faces - seen 1 MOTD and you've seen them all!
It really is time for a change of format and a change of personnel.
I always record the programme and start watching 15 minutes later so I can fast forward past "the analysis"
