I see he's still persisting with that shit 'tash/goatee effort that he's been growing since 2002...
They had to talk about something... since the delay wasn't plan for.
If I recall correctly, the context was that West Ham were almost certainly down after that result, though they actually stayed up by winning most of their final few games against all expectations. Still, never in the history of a match, particularly a 7 goal thriller, have I heard a more unenthusiastic commentary on an injury time winner. I was at the match and watched it again when I got home, still massively buzzing, only to think 'wtf' when I heard it.
I've never shared the view that this "Oh no" was en expression of his own disappointment or bias. It was exactly the sort of thing I'd say if I was watching a game between two teams I don't support that turned so disastrously wrong in the very end for the team in trouble. It sounded perfectly natural to me when I heard it and still does. It in no way suggests the slightest bias against us.
In fact there's an element of relish in his voice. Not quite irony, but not far off. It is 100% definitely not the despair of a supporter.
I was talking about the Tyler commentary and the complete unenthusiasm in his voice. Bobbins posted the other 'oh no' commentary, but even so, did the commentator (Tyler I think) of the Newcastle v Liverpool 4-3 matches shout 'oh no' when the winner went in? No, they were ecstatic after a great game of football. I think when someone's first instinct is to say 'oh no' rather than 'oh yes' then that person has more of an affiliation with the losing team because it goes against how commentary should be done (unless it's an England match or European match when the commentator would be rightfully biased toward the English team).
No sky bias they say...this was when SSN was talking about the "big managers and teams" on the lead up to the final day of the season, not the first time they have snubbed Poch either.
We'd be pissing ourselves if this was on RAWK.

Why are they leaving Poch out? Rather than taking a swipe can you explain the reasoning behind leaving the manager out of a graphic showing the best teams/managers in the league when he has guided us into second and been in a title race two seasons in a row?
I have no idea but i'll offer up a guess.......They all have things to play for this week. We're at Hull. Massive news that.
Can you explain to me why people, despite overwhelming evidence, are choosing to ignore an obvious ignorance towards our achievements in the media? I am not suggesting we don't get a few platitudes here and there but it's pretty evident it's through gritted teeth at this point and always followed by "But can they keep their players?" or some other extremely negative viewpoint.
Platitudes here and there? A vast majority, if not all of the pundits have been very very fulsome in their praise. You're actually doing to Sky what you claim is being done to us. Being very VERY selective. Plus have we actually won anything? I can't remember the last time finishing second was back page news or was the lead story on Sky for sixteen weeks It really does come across as if you expect Sky to be the Spurs channel.
It's quite easy to criticise people for suggesting it's all "conspiracy bollocks" but that's not really a compelling argument against the evidence being shown is it?
You make it easy. There is no 'evidence'.......Whatever positive is balanced by anything negative. If you don't want to hear things you don't like, subscribe to Spurs TV. The media aren't there to pamper your sensibilities.
I am also honestly puzzled as to why the same people continuously defend this behaviour as well, when you have ex professionals at the club and even our own manager highlighting how the media are always talking about us selling our players etc and yet the same 4-8 people on this board that pop up every time something like this is discussed seem to think they know better than the majority of people complaining about this issue and yet never offer any compelling evidence or reasoning to oppose the argument's.
That's because they don't have to offer up anything, anyone who wants to can see it for what it is. You'll like or dislike, agree/disagree with pundits/media comments, that comes with the territory and it doesn't mean there's an agenda. See above.
Just comments like "It's like RAWK on here sometimes, embarrassing"

Is he taking a pic of you as well?
He can then post it on Man U community or wherever he likes to frequent and say I met Wellspurs and was glad it wasn't *insert own choice of SC member here*
