Its wierd, when Wigan dominated the game, I used to curse Hemmings for being too pro Wigan, although I guess its hard not to wax lyrical about a team that were as far ahead of the pack as they were then.

Phil Clarke's never bothered me in that sense, in fact there've been time since he started that he's been very pro saints, even in comments in the derby.

What riles me is that Hemmings seems to have picked up little practical knowledge about the game in all the years of commentating on it and, instead of being pulled up on it, has stevo sitting next to him who not only struggles with basic rules of the game, but also fails to actually see what's in front of his eyes. Hemmings's love for the dramatic and cliche means he spouts torrents of bilge at any oppotunity and only tend to get corrected when Clarke pipes up (which is limited being 3rd mic).

I think a lot of people jump to the conclusion the Phil Clarke will automatically be pro-wigan before he's even opened his mouth, even if he's being impartial, so the guy can't win. Eddie Hemmings on the other hand, is just a pillock, plain and simple
