Why is Sky so dismissive of the smaller sides?
There were twenty minutes of chat after tonight’s game, with the pundits, the Spurs manager and Son.
Not a single thing about Palace.
Before the match they showed the Spurs line-up first, even though we're the home team!
If Sky thinks only supporters of big clubs are worth catering for, perhaps they should charge the rest of us lower subscriptions.

When match officials & media come to SP, what happens:
Match officials get changed in a portacabin -
Meedia get to use a room off of the family bar before the game & then the match commentary team climb up the gantry in the AW -

How are they treated at top 6 stadiums ?

No wonder there is a bias, even if its an unconscious one.

Maybe when we have the new main stand the facilities offered to these visitors will be better & then we can perhaps hope for a more even playing field with how they treat us.

To a point this is true. But not to show the home team line-up first and to spend so much time pitch side with Ange and Son separately was disrespectful to the home-team.

The Spurs love-in across the media is obvious - not jus at our game. it’s been across the early part of season up until now.

This is also true, but, not to worry, Sky have just won a 'Diversity' award & are very keen to let people know about it.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Last night, as I was leaving for the game, my wife called to say there was an item on the TV about Palace. So I poppewd into the siting room, to find there was nothing about Palace. Don't know what channel it was, but I know it wasn't Sky, because we don't have it.

Maybe (definitely is) paranoia but it always seems to happen to Palace. If we're playing a club who are higher in Sky's Top Trumps rankings the coverage is all about them. If it's a cup tie with a lower league club it's all about the plucky underdogs. We beat Man United it's "What's wrong at Old Trafford?"
Despite being a Premier League club any half decent players we have are regarded as purely temporary until one of the Big Boys clubs crooks a finger.
No one likes Millwall and they don't care - well I do. It really honks me off.

Thanks to Neville and Carragher it’s all bout Man U and Liverpool even when they are not playing.

Carragher in particular annoys me - useless and biased pundit and commentator - so little different to when he was a player then..!!

What really gets me is when he talks about Englands “Golden Generation” as if he was a major part of it - no Jamie you were a squad member at best and often not even that..!!

Anyway after the “spit the dog” incident shouldn’t be anywhere near the Sky commentary/punditry team..!!

As others have said it all about top 6.

1. Top 6 club flying. "Let's enjoy some of their glorious football".

2. Top 6 club not flying. "Crisis at big club let's discuss in depth".

The benefit of sky is that the subscription includes free of charge foreign language during commentary even though It is not possible to decipher quite what language is spoken.......foc spitting and throat snot clearing sounds are also included.
