Dear Football League Show
I am writing to express my vomit inducing disgust at all of you, especially Steve Claridge - who appears to be on a bet to screw up his face and talk rubbish more than anyone else on Saturday night television. Brighton and Hove Albion are EIGHT POINTS clear tonight at the top of League One on merit. Yet your biased and lightweight coverage almost resents us for it. We are not Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton so I suppose it doesn't matter that we are CANING League One. Even when rounding up the League One table Manish managed to make us invisible; "Huddersfield are now closer to the bottom than the top points wise, showing how open League One is"? Excuse me? I think he means "Huddersfield trail Brighton because they are EIGHT POINTS CLEAR and DESERVEDLY SO, let's all talk about BRIGHTON".
The same time last year, Leeds were six points clear and were being praised and discussed at length every single week. Gus's achievements in his short tenure here hugely trump Leeds' with all their money and expectation - and yet a segment discussing League Two striker ADAM LE FONDRE from some tinpot Northern hovel received approximately five times as much air time as our match highlights and subsequent discussion - the majority of which time was taken up with Claridge's uncomfortable gurning.
Shame on all of you. Especially Claridge.
Yours in absolute disbelief

Do you think they'll publish it next week?
