I honestly can't watch stuff like MoTD when we have results like we have recently.I don't even read the sports sections of the sunday papers, let alone watch any pundit-based nonsense on Sky.The last three years or so, I've seen MoTD a handful of times. For obvious reasons.
My point re Friedel ( clearly not shared by many )is that , as a Pundit , surely he should maintain a minimal amount of bias ?

For obvious reasons.I'm glad its not just me who is like this - I even stopped buying the local paper because I had to keep avoiding the Villa match reports. When Small Heath fluked that win at Wembley I went through the paper with a pair of scissors and systematically cut out every single mention of it and binned them before reading what was left.

Ably abetted by Brad Friedel & Danny Murphy ,the sycophantic Mark Chapman managed to produce one of the most one sided reviews of a Game I have ever seen . Friedel said a few kind words about the Villa before he and his cohorts embarked on an in-depth review of Tottenham,s performance in which they managed to completely ignore Villa,s participation altogether and OTT praise of ' flavour of the month' ( in London )Harry Kane who,s 15 mins on the pitch and ' scoring' of a goal that came off a wicked deflection by Villa Defender , Baker , was apparently enough to make him ' Man of the Match' ?!. Friedel , who had no shame in showing his bias by using " we " when referring to Spurs , condoned the blatant ' in your face ' foul by Spurs midfielder , Mason that got Benteke sent off and stated that the previous provocative tactics by Spurs were the " spice" that Spurs needed .So apparently Friedel believes its ok to win by foul means then and get fellow Pro,s sent off (?) , I guess he learnt that at Tottenham ?, because he certainly did,nt learn it at Villa. ……..Godzvilla!
I think Friedel was in a tough position and you could see he was challenged by it at times.Spurs are his employer so he has to be supportive and can't be seen to criticize one of his peers even if he felt Mason should go. I saw nothing wrong with anything he had to say giving that we all know his situation.
