Quote: tank123 "Problem is the game interms of the media is not that important. And generally you will get the worst ones covering our games. As for Stevo and Eddie i do really think they know what they are doing, they will know that most Wigan supporters think they are biased so will play on it. I dont think that Stevo is that bad but Eddie is defenitley covering our games lately looking to jump on us.'"
Oh, I don't know tank123
If you've still got the game recorded, watch it back (I know it'll be painful
), and Eddie is literally praying that Wigan get back in the game, especially his half time analysis.
On the whole, I don't know why Eddie and Stevo get so much stick.
Yes, they can act like a couple of plonkers from time to time.
Stevo is biased to Leeds/Bradford, Eddie is a Wid, with a (definate) Stains leaning, when the Wids aren't in SL.
To those of you who think Eddie is a closet Wire...you couldn't be further from the truth.
I've known the fella for about 7 or 8 years, and he's NEVER had a good word to say about us, to me, especially under the Tony Smith era. All he's done recently, is acknowledge that we've improved 10 fold in the last couple of years. When we were 5h1te, he couldn't wait to "stick the knife" into us.
Apart from Eddie making the odd gaffe during commentary, these 2 are good BROADCASTERS. Yes, they may wind us all up, from time to time, but are we going to get someone better? It could be worse. We could get Dearden/Hunt on Sky
