Well, he’s still got the goals wrong to keep Vardy at the top but I don’t suppose it’s worth wasting anymore time over...

I see one or two blues have put him right about that

Wonder if he acknowledges his second error?

 

[Maly]

Ah, I just saw the logo. All the same, he's the MOTD anchor and a match presenter as well, it's his job to know and check this stuff. He's no more excuse for that than the MEN journo who wrote about the rags win on Sunday getting them within 5 points of us imo.

I read worse on the MEN yesterday. A reporter for our local rag claiming City are state owned. Embarrassing to say the least. Can’t remember the article mind.....found the article now

Tell lies often enough & the perception is it’s true. I hope one of you who can be arsed complaining about stuff takes our local newspaper to task about lying about who owns City

So lazy / careless on the part of the BBC ?

Absolutely not , yet another deliberate ploy to slight the club - utter cunts.

Clear & obvious

Fletch on bt continues the false narrative of how Liverpool are playing, full of superlatives.

Couldn’t be any more different than when commentating on us.

I noticed that. All he needs to do next is run on the pitch and give Alison a hug and a kiss.

The Ruler actually owns part of Emirates and yet City instead of Arsenal are highlighted!

Just for the sake of accuracy, ironic in this thread I realise, they highlighted both clubs (showed clips of both stadiums) in that 6pm news report. I wonder if the report will be edited in any way by the time of the 10pm news.

It's on Panorama now, do we have to watch it again at 10pm.?

The Liverpool game is that boring I’ve complained myself


Dear MEN,

As my local newspaper, I thought I should bring it to your attention that I find it ludicrous that one of your reporters is telling clear & obvious lies about Manchester City Football Club.

As a newspaper for Mancunians, presumably using Mancunian reporters, please can you explain how a supposed football reporter has written that Manchester City Football Club is ‘state owned’?

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-united-news-solskjaer-team-19839144

As a local reporter I’d imagine he already knows this to be a blatant lie, but if not, a simple Google search would have informed him that Manchester City Football Club is owned by the City Football Group, which is in turn owned by ADUG, Silverlake & Chinese Media Capital.

I’m sure Samuel will also be aware that football authorities don’t allow football clubs to be state owned, so my first question I’d like an answer to would be:
Is this part of a clear & obvious campaign to sully Manchester City’s good name?

My second question would be, is Samuel Luckhurst:
a) Thick as mince?
b) A truly awful reporter who doesn’t check facts?
c) A dangerous reporter who would be better suited working for Joseph Goebbels with the propaganda & lies he’s peddling to suit whatever agenda he has?
d) Being paid by an external organisation to peddle lies & propaganda to sully Manchester City’s good name?

Look forward to hearing your reply in trying to justify Samuel’s clear & blatant lies.

Regards
MW

Just watched the Panorama programme & the item including the Etihad & Emirates Stadium wasn't included. Maybe someone has had a word.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Ex footballer pundits and presenters know feck all about football so its a bit unfair to expect them to have Geography or Political knowledge.

Top shithousery from Mike Wedderburn!

I mentioned earlier that they showed Arsenal as well but after City

Hopefully, but that’s a rapid edit of a pre-prepared documentary if so. My guess is that it’s more a case of whoever put that separate news report together on the back of the Panorama programme was just being lazy as f*ck, making those links. Probably a red.

Ok mate, didn’t see your earlier post; the one I was responding to read to me as if it was only City. Yes, Arsenal was after City, but they showed brief clips of both stadiums together, one after the other. I realise it’s opinion not fact, but I wouldn’t classify that as necessarily highlighting City (over Arsenal).

Like granny lovers effort, the morons continue to think that goofy shinning it is an artform and a special skill. Well done Mike for keeping it real.

Yeah that crossed my mind too but I suppose nowadays it would be an easy job for a techy to quickly edit it. It would only mean cutting out maybe 2 to 3 seconds and adding in a bit more of the Indian Ocean footage with music (which was shown more than once). Your other scenario is equally as likely though !

I would mate when they showed us first yet Arsenal are the ones heavily funded by Dubai. Agenda for me.

We can all look forward to tomorrow's papers can't we.

Liverpool play U23s/kids and beat the odds on favourites for the CL in a stadium they weren't supposed to play in

 

[cheekybids]

Leipzig were actually the better team apart from a crazy 5 minute spell.

Words you won’t read anywhere, not that I believe they were but it’s all I’ve heard after the last 2 games. Will there be any questions about how many times they were opened up?
