The bias is inbred. SSN  Premier League news says "Tottenham can cut gap to Aston Villa in 4th place to just 4 points with a win"  that shows emphasis of course on Tottenham to get 4th.

It shows emphasis on Tottenham, because it's being said in the context of them talking about the game Tottenham are playing in tonight.

If it were us playing, they'd say something like "Villa can extend the gap over fifth placed Tottenham to seven points". Sometimes these things aren't conspiracies.

Indeed, feels like this is being a bit precious.

Just seen two Olympiacos fans rampaging down Navigation Street.

Well, walking along drinking sugar free Red Bull, sensible given their portly stature. The potential flashpoint outside the Turkish Barbers failed to ignite....

The point is they say just 4 ignoring that at this stage of the season it's massive 4.

That's probably because there's never anyone in them.

They're also trying to sell the idea of watching Chelsea vs Spurs to people tuned into their channel.

"Spurs play Chelsea live on Sky tonight, but given neither really has much to play for anymore probably go and watch the Villa on the other side?" isn't going to keep their advertisers happy.

Your obsession with balance and reason is very unhealthy, please stop it.
