Personally think Sky's coverage over the years has been excellent and contributed to the overall success of the PL.
It's a sport tho not a soap opera, you cannot just change the script of football pre 92/93 and act like it didn't happen. I cannot think of a better example than the insistence that last years top league title was the closest title triumph ever simply because they want to ignore the game pre Prem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_0%E2%80%932_Arsenal_(26_May_1989) Again that's your opinion. For many, last season would have been the closest ever. Think it's a bad example of sensationalism. Was a pretty incredible end to a very close season |

O Neil looked shot on MOTD last night, tho the question that annoyed him was pretty crass.
What did they ask him? |

As an example of sensationalism I could deffo have picked up many different examples, that was just the first that popped into my head. I agree last season was an incredible finish, no doubt, but to just promote it as something it wasn't simply because they just ignore history is bad, it's not a 20 year old sport just because they want to pretend it is. |

What did they ask him? one of the after match questions was 'do you doubt your own position, are you filled with self doubt'...he composed himself and replied with disdain but was shaken and his lip was quivering. |

Arsenal won it on goals scored, as the goal difference was identical. That's obviously closer. |

very rare for me but bought a load of sunday papers today
very very little coverage of o neill being under pressure if at all which considering 3 wins from 23 is amazing
certainly helps to be a media favourite at times

I think you have misread it George, Arsenal were leading 1-0 in the last minute and scored to make it 2-0. This brought the teams level on points and goal difference so it went to the next tie breaker which was goals scored. |

Why did Sky pull away from the trouble at the end of the Manchester Derby?
