It's not that I missed it, I didn't

I just thought it was (obviously) inflammatory, as we were always going to get the "Clarkey is a @#%&er" chant, and made the club's fans look like nobs (of which there are more than a few, unfortunately) . Someone at Sky should have had a word with Clarke, and told him to do his piece elsewhere. This was "pouring petrol on the fire".

We all know every club has some fickle fans (ffs, there were even some boos which could be heard at half time v Stains the other week).

Personally I use the x30 forward button when his mug appears on the screen. His 'opinions' are usually ludicrous like at MM, when he came up with a statement about faster diagnosis of injured players and their removal from the pitch to get the game restarted. Since then I've not had any interest in what he has to say. If he's biased towards Wigan, so what? It'll make it taste all the sweeter when we turn them over (again).

But if Clarke had done his interview on another part of the pitch you know as well as I do that some of the kn*b heads would have claimed it as a victory in that Clarke was frightened to "face" the fans.
In any game there will be a remark from one of the commentators / summarisers that a "fan" will take exception to if they so desire.
What happens is that they forget the other positive comments made during the game.

no they wouldn't Rogues...no-one would have given it a second thought.

I can just imagine it, your average "fan" on the South Stand, saying to his mate "HOW DARE THAT @@@@'ED CLARKE NOT DO AN INTERVIEW INFRONT OF US, SO WE CAN'T ABUSE HIM"

It was inflammatory

I'm surprised we didn't get the usual Sky appology "We're sorry for the chanting, which may have upset some viewers, which you may have heard during Phil's piece" from Eddie

Phil Clarke - legendary player, legendary commentator.

legendary twitterer.

Of course, how could I forget!

surely you've used a wrong vowel, and too many letters there, Morleys...namely t e r e and r , if you're refering to Clarke

Knowing the south stand, there could have been another clarke they were aiming their abusive chants at.

too true, Moe

This has got to be something like the 5th or 6th thread about Phil Clarke this season

Phil Clarke always strikes me as bit of slime ball. He is to far up his own . Sky surely most rein him in a bit with his ott bias towards the pies.

Phil Clarke...... He's probably a nice Bloke but he's a Cock between two Balls....

lets not, absolutely, not forget that we Warrigton wolves swing the Ball from one flank to the other better than any other side I've Seen over the past five or so seasons......

but i just can not forget the time he taught us all "two outstanding examples of Wigan getting the ball out wide" to show what wigan "do best" and end up saying "alright the final Ball goes to ground" and "although that play breaks down".

its the same as Alan Hansen on Match of the day saying "the Spurs keeper is one of the best penallty stoppers in the country ...alright that one bursts the roof of the net..... and that one just goes past his hand.... but they are just two examples of what he can do"

he's a stupid lover like I say a nice bloke But he talks

It took him 12 minutes tonight to mention Wigan
