A great night last night. Thought I'd check out all the good things being said in the media about Boro on the news this morning, but hardly a thing, it's all about Spurs.
TalkSport? It’s dominated everyday by the big 5 clubs especially London ones. It’s fronted in the main by some ex Spurs players. No surprise there. I don’t listen to it.Yes I’m wfh and have talk sport on now and yep Spurs lost what went wrong how could they lose etc.
If Spurs had won last night they wouldn’t have mentioned our failure for one second just the success of Conte. Whilst I understand your point it’s not so much fixation with bad news it’s fixation on a limited number of big clubs - which is understanable for a commercial radio station. Most of their listeners are white males aged 18-60 living in the Home Counties.I think it is generally the love of failure in Britain and media rather than a bias specifically. Our success was their failure as a big club. Locally we enjoy the success, nationally they enjoy the failure.

Even at half time all they discussed was the way SPUDS had been playing all season and how it had got to this.Same on BBC commentary last night, especially first half....Danny Murphy purring over every little flick from Kane and saying how they were in control, then second half when we dominated he started to give our players credit, but still qualified with Spurs being 'leggy' and Conte being 'too cautious'. At least with Woodgate in the studio there was a bit more balance there and Shearer also seems a fan of Wilder, perhaps golfing at Rockcliffe!
Got that throughout the majority of the 1st hour with the 2 commentators last nightA great night last night. Thought I'd check out all the good things being said in the media about Boro on the news this morning, but hardly a thing, it's all about Spurs.
The obvious gap in class and talent only shone through after we got to grips with Spurs spoiling tacticsGot that throughout the majority of the 1st hour with the 2 commentators last night
Theres a gulf between both teams but once Boro got into them it was chalk & cheese & Spurs couldnt cope
