HitchinFox Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 09:00 - 10:15 Chelsea, yada yada, top six, blah blah, each recounts some self-gratulatory crap about how wonderful an interview they've done with Manager XYZ. At 10:15 talk turns to Leicester securing its Premier League status. I timed it. 1minute 13 seconds. Patrick Barclay very complementary - "a lovely story" etc. but forgets what our stadium is called. Then Neil Ashton says "yeah, good for them - now lets move to the top of the table and Man Utd." Cut to adverts. I know that most national writers know fek all about teams outside the top five, but surely the tale of survival, with a few ostriches thrown in, is the kind of stuff that gets a scribe's juices flowing? Or am I massively biased and expecting too much? A 90-minute programme gives it 1minute 13 seconds?
Unabomber Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 I'm watching it on record now to see if they mentioned it, might as well turn it off then.
Kitchandro Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Don't forget a good 15 minutes talking about Newcastle and 'what a mess they're in' every week.That show is awful.
Matt Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Worst football programme on TV. Yes...It's worse than Soccer AM.
davieG Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 They like many other 'pundits' don't like to admit when they get something wrong, I'm sure we'd have got a much more if we'd have lost and got relegated they could then wallow in how wonderful they are to predict Chelsea winning the league and us relegated. We spoilt their smug party.
Mark_w Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 They spent God knows how long on QPR as well so it's not just about us being toward the bottom of the league.

Its been like that since sky rebranded football, I don't know why folks keep giving them the viewing figures.
splinterdream Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 It's always been the same, even during the MoN era when arguably we were looking to cement our side as a top 6 side, we didn't get the attention we deserved and I'm sure I remember MoN mentioning it. I watched goals on Sunday a week or two back for the first time in ages, they rushed through our match in less than a minute but slobbered over Hyypia for what seemed an age. Same old same old
CosbehFox Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Typical London hacks. It doesn't sell them stories or get as many clicks hence its avoided.
st albans fox Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 They are only looking for stories. Bad news makes stories. Therefore, we aren't of any interest to them. I bet we were after the ostrich or the **** or the FOAD. Who cares. They wouldn't know enough about us to fill three minutes anyway
sdb Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 So, so bad. But must cost about £20 to make so guess it'll stick around a while yet. It would appear that you have to be a complete **** to get on it.
iancognito Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Never mind Ostriches on the programme they should get that prize pr!ck Darren Lewis from the Mirror on. He's a shaft of a journo anyway but his write about us after the Tottenham away was the most biased one-eyed pice of writing I've ever seen. Maybe get him to eat some humble pie in public. I know most of the London-based press couldn't care less about us because they're too busy jizzing over Hazard, Kane & Sanchez but he took the piss.
weller54 Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Bunch of twats eating crossiants Looking at the crossiant props you mean??... Dreadful program!!
Richmondfox Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 The guardian football weekly podcast was one of my favorite podcasts as I like the presenters but they spend about 1 minute on Leicester and that's normally making a joke or 'yeah they play good football', no analysis or knowledge of the team but spend an age on Arsenal, QPR and Burnley. When talking about the run in (like the Daily Mail)when we were bottom James Richardson The Monday Night club on 5 live is one of the better football shows/Podcasts about. Even though I still listen to the BBC Leicester podcast, it is a painful experience. Since they can't ask questions to the team and Nigel they pad the show out with callers who are very idiot and can barely string a sentence together or the most boring plebs who talk but say nothing of worth. The bootroom had 10 minutes of Sunderland player interviews, a Sunderland fan and BBC Northeast reporter. Also if a stamp collection could speak it would sound like Jason Bourne.

Same old same old To be fair goals on Sunday have been rather complimentary of us this year. They can only show a minutes highlights from the game that was on BT sports for whatever reason but overall are generally pretty good to us.
HitchinFox Posted 17 May 2015 Author Posted 17 May 2015 .......they pad the show out with callers who are very idiot. Great use of my all time favourite Knockaert quote there...!
FrankieADZ Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 yeah its pretty crap now Sunday Supplement...think the only show I've seen give a decent spend on all the teams is Fletch & Sav on BT Sport on a Saturday before the Premier League lunch time kick off
fuchsntf Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 I only like Martin Samuals, it actually looked liked he wanted to comment, then the programme ended. The idea of this program , is actually a good one, it fails because it keeps to London or Personal favourites. I couldnt care if it is Leicester or if it was another club, the story deserved more coverage, including this years story of Crystal Palace, who have not just turned their season around, but their future ( no I have no special feeling for CP). I would of thought, Chelsea, Liverpool (Gerrard) and the survival of city should of been the 3 major themes.Finishing with Internationals. Still trying to stay neutral, it was a pathetic thought out themes for the weekend. I am now watching and waiting what BBC can offer. With exception of some gardenning I am a couch potato this weekend.
Livid Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 Very rarely watch it. Unless you're a supporter of a team in North/West London or the North West of England or have a direct link to one of those teams they have no interest.
Number 6 Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 All the journos on there hate NP, and have admitted as much. Watch it and smile as they'll have to endure our Nige next season too.
fuchsntf Posted 17 May 2015 Posted 17 May 2015 To be fair, BBC gave city and Pearson a fair airing. Sunday supplement would be wise to follow themes of the weekend, and not show Personal favourite bias.. MARMITE type of programme...you like it because of occasional good coverage, or never simply hate its pretence of bring a decent football programm. Even under Hill I liked it, but slowly over the years bored, not of the idea, but its everyweek boring same bias ideas..
