Well there deffinately seems to be better coverage in other countries , any one remember when Paul Merson said he didn't think Newcastle-Sunderland was that big of a deal, and tried saying it was because "It's never been on Sky Sports and Sky Sports get all the big games". To think other countries get an in depth insight in to the derby is surprising when pundits in this country don't seem to have a clue, highlights the type of people, laziness and ignorance we get from people who cover our football over here.
