Media Media Bias

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

There were the two fouls just outside the box one was Porro and the other their keeper shouldering our players head. Nothing given. No reviews on the broadcast. The replay actualy cut away just before the point of impact on the second one.
 
We know why they weren't mentioned,..

...because they had no bearing on the result.

We soundly beat them. We deserved to win. And no amount of controversy is changing that. Trafford should have been sent off but by highlighting it they have to point out that we probably would have beaten them by a far higher score line.

Now imagine we snuck a win due to an incorrect decision in our favour....
 
I've never been able to get images to work on here but Steve Sutcliffe in his write up for the BBC:

'Had Van de Ven not hauled home defender Kyle Walker-Peters to the floor...'

I mean that's just madness!
 
"This should represent the start of a brave new world for Tottenham. A new hierarchy, new manager and a Champions League campaign in what is regarded as one of the best stadiums in Europe."

Positive slant shock!!! 😲
Wow.... Are they actually talking about US?
 
It's somewhat pathetic that the media bias even extends to fantasy football now.

For some reason after this past week, BBC have decided to keep Mbeumo in their team over Haaland or Bergvall (yes I know, different position).

Their bias towards Man Utd is pathetic, no-one with a brain would put a single one of their played in their fantasy squads right now. (Apologies to anyone on here who do... :p )

FPL gameweek five tips: Captain Mohamed Salah, pick Bryan Mbeumo and Joao Pedro

There's still a LOT of United plastics that think they matter. "news" outlets only really care about clicks and views. Target the biggest audience.

Listen to Talksport for an hour after United lose. All their callers are from the south east.
 
My commentary the other night, ‘ Of course Spurs have already lost in Europe this season.’

They can’t help themselves, can they?
I genuinely had to wrack my brain for a moment to work out which game they were on about .. ?

Did they mean the Super Cuo... THAT Europe?

Bit like when they keep banging on about Liverpool losing the Community Shield...

Oh, no hang on, no one's mentioned it since, and it's long been forgotten about.

I tell ya mate, Spurs do some CRAZY THINGS to people! :angesmile2:
 
Sky Sports really gets my goat. Report on our win at Leeds refers to both goals as defected shots but doesn’t mention the Leeds goal being a tap in from a defected shop nor DCL’s shot being deflected

Should ex players be allowed to write articles about the teams they used to play for if they were successful there?

I'm not posting it here because I don't want to make everyone sick, but BBC have an article up where Martin Keown talks about the current Woolwich season, and it's such a pathetically biased puff piece that even their own supporters are calling it ridiculous.

He basically says they're currently a combination of their 97/98 & 03/04 teams, pretty much crowning them champions already even though we're only 10 games into the season and their current manager & team have a history of bottling it.

I read it. What gets me is, why do the BBC pay him and publish the shite?
