One look at the media coverage and if you tuned into TS on the way home confirms that bias.

Anyway, let's just crack on.

ITV spent the first 20 mins of the 30 minute pregame on west ham.  The away side, on our apparent 150 year birthday party.

Great read Dave.

Rather disgracefully showed the away team before the home team too. Still, we reminded them of the true world order and sent the pie and eal eating sadsacks home empty handed.

I'm forever baffled by the media attention West Ham get.

[Legion]

Done.

They won the World Cup you know. Even their phone number ends in 1966.

More time spent on West Ham because of them having a brand new manager no doubt. Something they have on a yearly basis. It’s disrespectful is what it is. Having not seen it, did they mention about us being one of the founders of the league, or mention McGreggor?

The Founder!

The commentary throughout was so West Ham biased it was pathetic. Hardly a mention of the 150th Anniversary.

Anyway, fortunately, we made it through to the next round, and with any luck we'll never see that black T-Shirt ever again.

They did mention it, but it took second billing to G. Potter talking about how West Ham were such a marvellous club.  I was thinking it was like how it always is with Man Utd etc.  But for West Ham, who have been the very epitome of make weights for nearly all of their existence.  Anyway, yes time to move on now!

Brilliant take, Dave.

Great read Dave.

Thanks Daz.

My mind went back to us conceding a goal to Man City from a corner that was wrongly given. No such analysis took place then.
