But you could tell that in the guys' mind the Premier League IS the world of football. He didn't even try to think of anyone outside the Prem. He said Messi and Ronaldo because he knows you have to include them, then he just thought of the best 3 players in the Prem currently.
Also, listening to the Sky Sports podcast (don't bother) the other day, it did show how Prem-centric people at Sky can be, as when asked their top 5 players in the WORLD, one of them responded:
Messi and Ronaldo (obviously), then Van Persie, then Saurez, then Bale. And the others didn't really...
This. He's never, ever, ever, ever said anything of note, anything that isn't immediately obvious to anyone with a brain, and his comment that no one had heard of Ben Arfa shows a shocking lack of knowledge for someone supposedly working in the game.
