I don't deny your conclusion; my real point is how poor and unbalanced the coverage of the 'other' clubs is.
For example, watching the highlights on MOTD, ALL the comments and analysis was about Citeh, nothing about Villa. However bad the collapse was, surely a team leading on merit at that venue should have been treated with more respect than that?
Perhaps we should realise our place -that we are just there to make up the numbers, both in the table and in the media.
