    Apart from the bit at the end from Shearer, ZERO coverage on how much of a god Robin Van Persie is. It was all:

    "Chelsea are crap"

    "Chelsea leave too much open"

    "Chelsea are ****"

    "Arsenal should have lost"

    "Szczesny should have been sent off"

    Ridiculous.

    AND THEY'RE STILL CALLING HIM ****ING 'SIR-CHESNEY'

    I like him being called Sir Chesney just as much as I love it when they say The Arsenal. It's a great nickname for him. Sir Chesney. Better than Knave-de-he-er

    See Hanson try and intimidate Lineker.... That guy is such a wierdo when it comes to Arsenal. I hope he loses sleep every night over our 89 championship victory.

    You also note during Chelseas 3rd goal, how the commentary just went silent when Santos was fouled, and then it just gets a slight mention during its replay, but not how it was a free kick, just that Santos is wanting a free kick for that challenge by Luakaku

    NOw the Man Utd game finished and they hardly analysed it. The commenator said that Everton should have had a penalty right at the end but in the studio they didn't even bother picking that out.

    But no news really, British media is heavily Man Utd-biased and more anti-Arsenal. Probably can't stand the 'lack of English players in our team'.

    Dave - that kind of block happens dozens of times every game and is very rarely picked up by refs, trouble is when they happen in the lead up to a goal they become more noticeable but I can't criticise the ref for not spotting it.

    The guy is going senile. When he analyse these days, there is a like 5-10 seconds pause a lot of the time where he has to catch his words again. Also he is just a caricature these days. As for Shearer, good grief, what a boring man.

    I've said it over and over again - sack the 3 'wise monkeys' - who aren't wise - not funny, boring and SO biased.

    Tired and well past their sell-by date. tedious.

    I don't see it that often, and that blatently, and it was pretty blatent.. Other than that, no word of the penalty Arsenal should of had when Cole missed the ball and caught Ramseys leg, just because he didnt go down, no penalty given, when it was indeed a clear foul.

    Oh come on, what possible reason would they have to hate us? Didn't you hear Hansen the other week when he said it would be a shame if we dropped out of the top 4? Or how their pundits always go on about how good our football is? Where is your evidence for thinking they are biased against us?

    They love you guys in comparison to "lucky" us!! Jeez I can't stand any of the pundits on there and as much as it pains me to say it, Alan Shearer is the worst with his boring tone :(

    They overlooked a few things but they also praised us loads yesterday, and Shearer did point out how impressive RvP was. Whilst Hansen saying Walcott had a poor 'football brain' after his hatrick against Blackpool was a bit harsh and more importantly inaccurate I would put that down more to poor punditry than some type of bias, he is still complimentary about us all the time. Perhaps the reason that some fans of all teams feel like the media has an agenda against their club is because we are all a wee bit over-sensitive to criticism rather than there actually being a conspiracy.

    I have to admit they're tedious.

    It's not great to watch. The trouble is they're not that ineresting as people.

    I like Shearer, but he is boring, Hansen I have a lot of repect for but does rate himself exceptionally highly.

    Lineker I have completely gone off. He's a lightweight, soft, boring individual, scared of any argument/debate which is what is destroying the show.

    BBC is too PC.

    P.S still loving the signature Samurai! Ta.

    Another thing that gets me is the order of the games.

    Our derby was in the "and finally Wigan played Blackburn' section.

    It's actually still relevant to a lot of people BBC, despite it not being what it was.

    I think Hansen used to be a good pundit but is now complacent and just uses cliches instead of coming up with his own opinion. Disagree with you about Lineker though, I think he does a good job of presenting and its kind of hard to get any type of debate going when half the pundits hate it when someone goes against their opinion.

    Yeah I can see that. Hansen is overbearing with his opinions, but still think Lineker lacks a backbone.

    Shearer adds next to nothing. It needs a few commentators/genuine experts, not just retired players.

    It has needed spicing up for years now.

    - p.s i never see you on the Pool board anymore mate!? KPR was banned ages ago if thats what was putting you off!
