Eurosport reporting Stelling having a go at the bias shown by the BBC for Blythe Spartans. He may have had a gripe, but it was received humorously in the studio as Stelling having a chip on his shoulder. He admitted it himself.

Well, he does have a point. The BBC have abused their own charter to some extent. And if anyone says... oh, come on it's only Hartlepool Utd v Blyth Spartans, then they've missed the point entirely.

I'd would hope Stelling would have said something similar about BBC bias if Shearer had gone into the Pool's dressing room.
 
Sandwiched in between matches against Arsenal and Man Utd? Home to a L2 or non-leaguer please, where we can rest the whole first team but still win.

Would also give us a chance to check out some of the kids (and for more than just 20 mins).
 
A non-league team in general would be good, wouldn't mind it being away either.

A non-league team away would be a nightmare. Do you realise just how good our pitch Nd most premier league pitches are? The risk of injury would be huge, let alone our lads just not knowing how to play in a **** pitch

Remember Pards' famous comment about how Southampton are a racehorse that doesn't like mud.
 
In a way I'd rather have a non-league team away. It would make things interesting. Of course the BBC would turn up sniffing an almighty upset so we could get humiliated on national TV. A non-league team at home would be boring. A 15,000 attendance with a simple victory. If we are at home Liverpool or Spurs please.
