Chelsea vs Everton is another game that's usually on Sky but instead they chose Stoke vs West Brom. Leicester vs Chelsea SHOULD be on Sky/BT. The last three title winners yet a 3pm kick off? Bizarre. However, I will agree it will even out. It will. I don’t get the complaints about not being on tv enough - it balances out. We were on TV second most last year I think. What I really don’t get is a close game between Leicester and Chelsea being on MOTD after a one sided game between arsenal Bournemouth, Tottenham Everton and Brighton West Brom. Apparently Linekar didn’t understand either.
September 10, 20178 yr Like most have said the tv coverage will even itself out. I do believe media bias towards certain clubs exists though. Just like last year they eulogize over Pep, rave over Liverpools attack, elevate Spurs English players, and worship a 6th placed team that's made 2 decent signings. Yet completely dismiss Chelsea. It took 13 wins in a row before the media gave Chelsea any praise, and still I felt they were hoping for Spurs or City to pip us to the title. I'm quite happy for us to go under the radar again.
