Phil Clarke has made no secret that he is not a Leeds fan. There was the thinly veiled accusation that we cheat after last years Grand Final. Clarke seems to pay little heed to the commentator's rule that you should remain neutral and this is one of the reasons why he is poor at his job.

Time for a change Sky.

IIRC it wasn't that thinly veiled.

It doesn't bother me so much that we are fairly obviously not the most popular team with the Sky crowd, but I do think it's time for a change of personel. They are just boring to be honest.

i think you're being paranoid really. I don't think he's anti leeds but i think he prefers saints style and sees them as the best team, despite us being champions. He's made numerous comments showing this over the past 18 months.

In terms of anti leeds he's very quick to pick up on when decisions go our way.

you are a saints fan. idiot

Lets tell it like it is, he's a schizoid real person who seeks punishment and abuse on an internet forum, its a mental illness that can be cured by subduing the brain but only if the person seeks help, thats a big step to make so instead we have to put up with the likes of him and others - its the price of popularity.

In all honesty who care's what phil clarke thinks???
F#*K HIM!!

Phil Clarke isn't a Leeds fan, he's a St Helens fan.

If Leeds played more like St Helens Phil Clarke would give them more credit.

Listening to his (and Bill Arthur's) commentary on the Leeds - St Helens 2003 semi final had to be heard to be believed. They made David Doyle-Davidson sound sane..... well almost.

Would that be the one where we went 7 points in front with 30 seconds to go, and Phil still reckoned Stains could pull off a victory?

Probably. I can't remember any specifics from the commentary (without getting the video out) but I recall the win was only enhanced further by stuffing it up the commentary team as well as Saints.

Phil Clarke is like the current spot I have on my backside, occasionally it causes some annoyance but generally you forget it is there and eventually it will disappear and will be then be irrelevant.
