Newcastle United followers up and down the nation obtained properly settled in on the sofa tonight and turned on the TV, flicked over to Sky Sports activities Primary Occasion and rolled their eyes into he again of their heads.
Within the studio at Previous Trafford sat three pundits: Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Andy Cole. Let’s ignore for a minute absolutely the lack of persona on two out of the three and concentrate on what all of them have in frequent lets?
Each single certainly one of them performed for Manchester United. You possibly can try to come again with “However Andy Cole performed for Newcastle too” however that is not going to fly. Cole sang anti-Newcastle songs when he received the league with Manchester United so he might have been a Toon legend, however his personal loyalties clearly lie elsewhere.
The Sky Sports activities ‘Huge Six’ bias is nothing new, however they don’t seem to be even making an attempt to cover it anymore.
Not a impartial amongst them
Wouldn’t it actually have killed them to get an ex-Newcastle participant in, hell, we would even take a impartial, however three former Man United gamers is ridiculous.
Folks pay a fortune for Sky Sports activities they usually deal with the vast majority of their subscribers like mugs once they do stuff like this.
It is clearly not simply an anti-Newcastle factor, each one of many ‘Different 14’ will possible really feel the identical when their membership is swept apart to allow them to attraction to the glory supporters.
Even Match of the Day is not as biased
Numerous occasions a crew will put in a high efficiency towards one of many ‘Huge Six’ and the evaluation can be centered nearly totally on how poor the highest facet performed reasonably than giving credit score to the successful facet.
BBC’s Match of the Day has been responsible of this too, however they’re beneath a lot larger time constraints than Sky and not less than they have a tendency to combine up their pundits when it comes to biases.
Clearly I am nonetheless raging after Newcastle’s efficiency towards Manchester United and simply wanted to vent, however I am unable to be the one one getting wound up by this.
