I made one ages ago, specifically about Martin Keown and their response was that "obviously individual pundits have their own bias and that is why we have several" or some shit. No he isn't biased, he's religiously anti-Stoke. Fact.

I am going to complain to the BBC about MOTD2 last night. I have complained before about negative coverage of Stoke. If other people feel strongly enough they should also complain. BUT- stick to the facts, dont go over the top, no bad language. We pay licence fees to the BBC and they need to be more mindful of the views and feelings of people in Stoke and indeed Stoke supporters everywhere in the UK. But I dont think we should boo Ramsey. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Here's a reasonable comparison: How often are Chelsea on TV...loads yes? How often do you see Petr ?ech. Loads yes? How often do you see Petr ?ech wear that silly head protector? Every time yes? How often do the commentators refer to why Petr ?ech wear's that head protector? ...not too often I'd guess? Last time I remember was a couple of seasons ago. At that point I went: "oh yes, 'Hunt', I think I remember that". You compare that to the Ramsey-Shawcross incident. It gets mentioned EVERY f'in time. FFS, Arsenal make Chelsea look classy. And that really takes some doing. Absolutely spot on. And the worst thing about it all is that Cech's injury was actually, potentially life threatening. Was it an accident? Only Steven Hunt knows that. But as you say, was it mentioned every time Cech touched the ball? No.

Strange how it never gets mentioned eh? Whereas with Ramsey....

Standard response to a BBC complaint - "on balance, we think we got it about right"....

"that tackle" pisses me off why don't they ever show a slo-mo of the real cause of his "horror injury" the fact that Bendtner was holding Ryans shirt making him late on the ball, and the fact that if you see the shape of ramseys leg between the ankle and knee that it was all but broke before the tackle, but as we know we're stoke city and get blamed when they want to.......Wankers one and all

My reply from the BBC "I understand that you were unhappy that reference was made to the Aaron Ramsey's broken leg suffered from a clash with Ryan Shawcross back in 2010. I can assure you that the remark was not intended to reflect badly on Stoke or their style of play.Kevin's remarks about the match were merely his own viewpoint on the game.All our match commentators and summarisers are expected to call the match as they see it and in this instance Kevin reflected what happened to Aaron in the previous meeting with Stoke. The programme does not have an axe to grind with Stoke,however,i do recognise you found this reference unnecessary and unhelpful when Arsenal play Stoke next" What utter bollocks

I'm surprised you got that much of a response from them.

I got a reply too:
Thank you for contacting us regarding BBC One's 'Match of the Day 2' which was broadcast on 22 September.
I understand you found it biased and offensive for the programme to refer to the tackle which injured Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey in a match against Stoke City in February 2010.
Impartiality is the cornerstone of all our output and we ensure our presenters, pundits and production teams are aware of this to help us deliver fair and balanced coverage. Senior editorial staff, the Executive Committee and the BBC Trust keep a close watch on programmes to ensure that standards of impartiality are maintained.
The BBC has issued detailed guidelines to programme makers in order to try to minimise the risk of gratuitous offence. It is inevitable that certain things which are acceptable to some will occasionally strike others as distasteful and the only realistic and fair approach for us is to ensure that the range of our output is broad enough for everyone to feel that they are catered for at least some of the time. We would never deliberately set out to cause offence, however I am sorry to read that you were offended on this occasion.

I think...
