Of the 6 Championship games televised from now 'til the end of the season, Newcastle feature in 4 of them.

Where's the fairness in that.? Big club syndrome strikes again.

Sky is a television company and not a governing body thus fairness is out of the window.

I'd come up with an analogy here but I think we're all intellectual enough to know what I'm going on about.
