Please forgive me if it is me reading too much into this section of an article about Bents injury at the weekend.
The article initially focuses on the physiological nature of Bents injury. It then pursues a euro championship slant before coming out with the following:
“Bent landed awkwardly after a challenge from Antolin Alcaraz during the second half at the DW Stadium, which the Latics share with rugby league giants Wigan Warriors, and left the ground wearing a protective boot.”
Now……
Is there any real reason in mentioning our so called “giant” neighbours at the DW stadium.
I don’t usually bother too much about articles marrying the two together, but I see mo real reason for rugby league to hijack a footballing piece of journalism.
I’m obviously getting old and cranky as I’m annoyed that this has even caught my attention.
