Best/Worst Pundit

Nope. Nope. There is definitely no media bias towards Liverpool.

Kes what point are you actually trying to make?

RIP David Bobin

Recall David covering Reading when he was with TVS/Meridian in the early 90s. RIP.

I can also remember the piss-poor clearly-dubbed-on-later commentary he did for TVS' coverage of the Simod Cup win, not least for calling us "Reading Town Football Club"

Liverpool were on TV more than anyone else.

Thought Tottenham's number would be higher. Seemed like they were on every week.

You would have thought so. But they aren't quite the media darlings.

So basically they had the same coverage as Chelsea other than the extra game on the last day of the season when there's was a game that still had something riding on it.
Guess its all down to how many viewers they'll get for certain teams but the drop off from the top 6 is the interesting* bit.

Indeed. Liverpool have more fans = higher TV coverage. That's why Leeds always seem to be on way more than other Championship teams.

Only because their ineptitude against the "also rans" meant that their last game of the season happened to be the key game in the chase for 4th place

How do you know Liverpool have more fans?

I was perplexed why they chose to show the Liv v Boro game on the last day. A clear home win, when Arsenal were at home to Everton. A game more neutrals would have preferred to watch.

No - there was something riding on Arsenal v Everton too.

ok to be clearer....everything was riding on the Liverpool result

Arsenal required Liverpool to lose

But given a home win for Liverpool was a definite.......if it hadn't been a slightly higher calibre of team Liverpool were playing on the last day I would say fair enough.

I get that it's also about viewing figures. However, there needs to be a re-jigging of the prize money to negate someone getting more money through TV appearances. I don't think it's correct Spurs finishing 2nd yet getting less money than Liverpool and City.

[Silver Fox]

But the TV audiences are higher for their games than for Spurs games because they're better supported, as proven by the number of times you discover another Liverpool fan on here

Yes they are - which is what I've said. However, there should be increased steps in the prize money to negate the fact that one team is shown more than another.

Bearing in mind Liverpool's dire record at home to the lesser sides it was far from being a definite-if they had won all of those "definites" they would have been champions rather than just the best when playing the best.

IF

"Rather than just best when playing best" - well that's bias - but we know you're a LIverpool fan

It is factually correct though, Liverpool were the best team out of the top 6 when limited to just the games amongst the top 6.
