How come they are such a big deal these days? They are just so dull and inconsequential. They are not even reliable for news, managers often use them to suggest a player is not fit and then they play the next day anyway I think the media just try to convince us that they are significant in some way.
I can't remember them having any profile in the 70s/ 80s or whether they had them at all.

I've never regarded them as a big deal. Newspapers and sports websites do, but they have column inches to fill and don't want to miss out on anything their competitors print. But it does no harm, does it? We fans can tune in or tune out as the mood takes us.

The BBC coverage of them seems obsessive When I went to the football page earlier the headline was '30 minutes to Wenger's press conference'!!! What were they expecting?

Minus-nine minutes to Mark Hughes press conference! It was due to start at 2.30pm: Link, tune in or tune out...
