One of the girlies in there, Grace, hasn't done that much wrong, but is on the recieving end of a huge wave of public disdain. One of the pyscho-analytical dykes on channel 4 said they think it's because we, as a nation, love to root for the Underdog. Grace had put herself in a Queen-Bee role, and the public resent this en-masse. She assumed the role, rather than having it bestowed on her, and now the Great British public are holding her to account.

She's lied, bitched, backstabbed and been generally unpleasant since Day 1 making her quite possibly the most unlikeable person on the planet (with the possible exception of Nikki).

Apart from that, she hasn't done much wrong!

[Naturally this is any of the home nations but in their absence they covered Eire. Following on from that observation I pointed out that we didn't have any cries of Eire bias by the media, it was just taken as natual as they were the only close team competing.

So should the media be taking about Wales, Scotland's and Northern Ireland during this competition that they have failed to qualify for. If you want less England coverage then it might help if you qualified in the future.

sorry but i live closer to Norway than i do Eire i think london is closer to France than it is Eire, many people on the east coast are closer to the Holland etc etc

the MEDIA followed Eire because not many players from abroad played in the English league wheras Most of the irish players played in it.Also  they speak english in ireland. The media look for things to sell advertising (apart from the BBC but they have to follow the rest of the media or lose there viewing figures and then there funding) which means that the media will also look for someway of attracking englsih viewers/listener/readers as england out number the rest of us brits 10-1 due to the natraul english bias in the media its only natrual for the rest of the brits to look elsewhere for someone to support.
If another british team quailfied and england failed the media's best way to sell the story to the public is to go for the british angle and therefore try and drive the english towards supporting a british team proclaiming them british
so this world cup its England England England in 2010 if wales get thru and england dont it will be British Wales British
we live in a world where money speaks and the media is like everyone else they will look to protect there self intrest
