Ian Wright gives us due respect as well.Sky have the hump with Levy, i'm convinced of it.

Media Media Bias

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Always thought Wright, whatever you may think of his qualities as a pundit, was always respectful of spurs fans.
Fuck it I like the guy.
Yep, me an all.
Him and Frank McLintock (who was also respectful of us) are the only two out and out Goons i like.

The whole media bias thing wouldn't be a problem for me if they only ignored us. I don't need validation for my love for my team.
My issue is that the media continually peddle bullshit transfer stories linking our players to so-called "bigger" clubs. This spring I can't think of a single player who hasn't been linked with a move at least once. It's deliberate, coordinated, corrosive, and designed to destabilise a club that is doing a mighty job of challenging 'billionaire plaything' hegemony.
The media have their favourites and don't like the fact that someone else is challenging the established order. I'm not after 'RAWKish' sympathy, just stop peddling crap about Eric Dier going to OT, Dele becoming the "new Lampard" or Danny Rose going to Citeh.
Honestly, it makes my piss boil...

Which is strange, considering that, (up until Harry left) Levy provided SSN with all the Window Slamming Transfer Day Deadline Compulsive 11.59pm viewing for a good three or four years!
No fucker would've watched that shit if it wasn't for Spurs Levying every deal until the last minute!
He was gold-dust for them!
No, they just hate us!
In fairness the pundits that came out of that Goon side are all pretty decent. Dixon, Wright, Keown and Parlour all give a pretty even unbiased view. Merson lets them down of course but he's thick as pig shit.
Shame the same can't be said for the Liverpool lot. Way too many off them and they are all bias as fuck.
Friendly reminder that we're owned by a billionaire.
Quite so. But Uncle Joe doesn't seem to be the sort who is happy for the club to run at a loss - hence 'plaything' qualification. But I concede you are technically correct.
Plus, my piss was boiling yesterday - it's not today.
A billionaire who loves golf!
That hits the nail on the head!
I don't know what all this media bias fuss is about...
<Turns on Sky Sports at lunch today>
Program on Gerrard and his Liverpool Career followed by Ronaldo and Utd....
"Hey everyone! Don't forget Liverpool and United used to be good!"
Haha it is classic, reminds me of here when I tuned in for a lovely final day of Rose vs Garcia in the golf and of course the obligatory 20 year old footage of tiger woods came on for 15 minutes.....

Well, after ignoring us all season now the pundits are all jumping on board the Tottenham hype-train.
How do we all feel about that?
How do we all feel about that?
I feel like they can do rudimentary math.
"Well, there's 6-8 games left per team, and Spurs are still 2nd, and you get 3 points for a win, so...carry the 2..."
**has a think**
**thinks HARDER**
"Tottenham are good."
Bet they call another person into the room to double check.
"Hey Paul, get in here!"
"You've got a question John?"
"Yeah, did a bit of math here but I'm not sure it checks out."
"Whatcha got? Let's see..."
"It says Tottenham are good."
"Hmmm. Not sure we can run that headline. Tell ya what. I'll go home and think it over, but for tomorrow morning's headline run 'Next Season Liverpool's Year!'"
Even when they congratulate us though it just feels like they're being condescending. Like, aren't little Tottenham having a decent run, good for them, pat on head
