Bias

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Jimbo and I heard a classic line in the pub on Sunday whilst watching the Man Utd vs Arsenal game. The referee, Graham Poll, gave a free kick for a hand ball by a United player. The co-commentator, Andy Gray, defended the player, saying he couldn’t really get out of the way. And then we had the following conversation:

Random annoying bloke sitting next to us in the pub: “Andy Gray is really biased.”

Me: “Well he hasn’t really got any reason to be biased towards Man Utd.”

Annoying bloke: “He’s biased towards everyone.”
