Aah..the BBC..
Actually it was worse.yesterday when they first put the walker lockdown breaches 'article' up...they deliberately put it right next to marcus rashford Feeds the Country propoganda......
This Juxtaposition of two English manchester footballers off field activitoes...on the Football pages of the bbc..illustrate the power of the media .to influence our minds a certain way.utd is good City is bad.very bad.even if we have to drag up something that happened months ago to prove it.
They could of course just chosen to comment upon Walkers upgrade in form which has led to him being close to 50 caps for England,or remarked upon Rashfords inability to trap a bag of cement ,but that would be talking about football wouldnt,t it.....
The bbc ,we all agree on City..,are deceiptful,childish,snide and off point.
But.. some of us lap up everything else they say... on other matters as tho it was The Truth.

It seems to have promised so much yet delivered so little - a complete opposite to the advertising blurb. Is that fair?
 
Guardian sport has no mention of Messi to City at all. The closest you get is small link to the "catch up" section right near the foot of the page with Sid Lowe "After Messi, Barca will never be the same" dated August 26th.

I am checking all outlets for info, many i never usually read and i am being reminded why. Independent is the same with the Telegraph just behind them in the gobshite stakes. The Times are the same as well.

Think his father-in-law is a City fan, as I recall. Used to get on a coach to games from The Royal Oak in Didsbury. Maybe that's why he seemingly dislikes us so much!

Checking their site regularly all morning they had no mention of it in the main footy section. There was a singular article 2/3rds of the way down their footy page tucked away under the european footy section. The main headlines were about the utd dutch chap and an opinion piece on arsenal + some dipper stuff. Not even a mention of the biggest transfer sage inthe history of the game. I would have thought it at least merrited more than what i saw, which was nowt unless you scrolled far enough down.

They have a couple of side articles now which is better than it was. I just get the slightest feeling if this was utd or liverpool there would be wall to wall coverage.

Are we talking about the same paper that employs Delaney & Evans? Or is "OK" some sort of street slang for "bitter bastards" that I'm too old to know?

'Too old to know.' A lovely expression. I can see my sons being asked that a lot.

Couple of nice balanced articles from the BBC today about the decline of messi and Walker breaking lockdown restrictions and getting a telling off/dropped by Southgate. Still no news about the white footballer from Utd being guilty though......

The seeds were spread densely by united pr and all the media outlets watered them.
Only a couple have admitted his convictions still stand. None of the rest will do anything about the error and as result the great British public will treat him as innocent until his appeal.
Walker was far from the only footballer to break the lockdown rules - seems half the country did it in front of BBC cameras - but he gets the stick even more than the lying Dominic Cummings.

It worries me that with the BBC and others, lies are becoming acceptable, accepted and expected.
 
James Cooper Sly's Rag reporter playing the raining in Manchester .... while reporting from Trafford. He gutted to report that Stretford won't be bringing Upermecano in. In other news the Earth is in fact round.

Some chaps who cultivate a full beard look fine, classically masculine and graceful. Cooper on the other hand looks like he could do with 20p for a coffee. Bless!
 
Jim shite on sky last night screaming at the camera that messi's move to the prem is getting ever closer. But he didnt say to which club. Either he can,t mutter the words Manchester City or he,s joining Jeff Stelings saturday panel. Either way what a coupe that would be

PB just reminded me.....my subscription renews on Friday so I've just ditched them today. I had high hopes when it started out, maybe some unbiased and insightful writing. How naive I was. It's ended up just another pile of bollocks pandering to the masses.

is it like in the Harry Potter books where no-one’s allowed to say Voldemort? If they say ‘Messi to City’ that will make it happen?

Cooper flits between Carrington and that spot outside the stadium along with the BBC creeps like Roan !

Compare and contrast when raggos are on every five minutes and the have to squeeze as many Manchester Uniteds in as possible. I swear half of them will have tourettes in old age where they confinally shout out "Manchester United" in their demented states !!
 
The good folks of the impartial press are rancid. From Kelly Dogleash's stunned silence to Vinny's thunderbolt, the odious creep asking Pep if he took backhanded immediately after clinching the domestic treble. CAS and all the poisonous lies that have been stated as facts. Let's face they're all a bunch of wet ladies' front bottoms.

What I do find especially disappointing is that only a few years ago our local news programmes were genuinely good representative of our region and positive about all North West sport. That's certainly been corrected to the usual Red suspects with a vengeance. I don't particularly care what our Stretford based friends do or the Dibdabs. But it is a bit much to put up with willful ignorance and blind contempt daily. I don't think that is the same as wanting unblinking propaganda like the shites but a little objectivity seems a big ask. Long before we had any money we as a club were a huge part of the local community. I think with Alex Williams that will always be a huge part of us. Ultimately that's more important than having the media brown nosing us. Really hope Leo's unveiling starts with a video of him walking through Piccadilly Gardens and through a wall of screens into an empty press conference at the Stadium to which none of twunts are invited. One can but hope! Sorry for the rant; back to the Messi threads his dad's probably finished his lunch and has some afternoon appointments.....
