The Evening Standard's Tottenham bias
|
|
All papers have their pets likes and dislikes, I have long time thought London's premier rag was reasonably fair until we won the race for the O/S
From that moment we represented a serious challenge to Tottenham and perhaps, in time, to Arsenal and Chelsea.
The smears and outpouring of jealousy over the O/S in the Standard and the BBC, bastions it would seem of the Yiddo medja have been borderline hysterical.
The back page banner headline in yesterdays Standard though, takes the biscuit,
OFFICiaL - Spurs will be London's biggest club!!
they will have 1,000 more seats than Arsenal (Who have 18,000 more seats than Chelski yet the blues are officially a bigger club)
I don't know whether its time to can the standard, but, as a cavalier, there seems little point in reading its sports section...

With the exception of Ken Dyer, it became a shitrag when the russian bought it. Got rid of lots of staff too.

It's pretty self evident there is a spurs agenda in that paper. That headline last night was a joke.

Gone the way of most newspapers full of syndicated news about the news nonsense.

Well, it's free and I still wouldn't read it, more like a gossip mag these days.
I couldn't care less what the press say about us though, the future is good for us, let everyone else worry about it.

It's a headline, headlines are designed to make people read the story, and under the plans revealed, they would have the biggest club stadium in London.
Really nothing to get upset about

Shouldn't the headline have read "SPURS WILL HAVE MORE SEATS THAN ANY OTHER LONDON CLUB!" or is that too much to fit on the back page?

I never really care what the papers write even if it's about us.
From meeting many a journalist 20 odd years back, you learn that they are generally a set of cunts and that most things they write can never truly be believed.

goose - I make you spot on. By the time they have paid for the stadium they will be so far adrift of Arsenal and Chelsea they may as well be in a different league to them.
I saw this headline myself and although it didn't upset me, I did find it annoying. Cunts.

The headline clearly just meant they will have a bigger capacity.
However, I have noticed a few of the writers in the standard seem to have a bit of a hard on for spurs, although to be fair Ken Dyer is always waving the West Ham flag.

Think yourself lucky!
I live on the South Coast and the Evening Argus bias towards Brighton is overwhelming, never as much as a mention of West Ham! I have decided to boycott it until this changes.

Ive said this before in the other thread, but i think that the NFL are going to fuck Spurs over big time on this. The only thing they really offer over Wembley is one changing room thats suited for NFL. Wembley dont have to worry about a retractable pitch because so few 90k events are allowed and there's not much overlap with the national team. Wembley has better connections, more hotels, and generally a better atmos for the many fans from outside London that follow the game. It also doesnt have the stigma attached with following a 'London franchise' based at WHL if you support a different football club, especially a London club.
All Wembley really need do is a bit of internal arrangement to create a couple of bigger dressing rooms in the bowels of the stadium. NFL meanwhile use WHL as the 'threat' that they often employ to get Wembley to give them the best financial deal.
