The press can hype them up as much as they want. We have slammed nine goals past them in the last three meetings.All the media have everything crossed for a dipper win, infact we're written off already after our defeat in Paris and Liverpool's amazing victory against euro giants Porto. I like it when it's like this, takes the pressure off us to then hopefully put in a top performance

What do the redshirts all have in common!For me, one can add the BBC sports department to the criticism levelled at its news department by David Mitchell. It is partial (especially in its football coverage); it is easily led by smart PR johnnies working for the likes of The Red Filth across town; and it plays at every turn (it seems to me) to the lowest common denominator (which is usually the fan bases supporting - in order - United, Liverpool and Arsenal).
So, I'd attack the BBC for its increasingly poor performance over the past few decades in the area of news and sports reporting/analysis whereas I'd defend its incredible achievements in bringing culture and the arts to us.
A large overseas following
What is on the BBC website that isn't shown on UK servers?
Advertisments
So why does the BBC sports department constantly pander to the redshirts?
Overseas website visitors which generates ad revenue

According to the muen, Liverpool are coming in to the city game off the back of a great result against Porto, and have an extra days rest after playing on Tuesday. Seriously, utter fucking amateurish journalism again, got to be the easiest job in the world

Far be it from me to defend Gary Chuckle, but as United players had been physically attacked at Anfield, a piss take from Neville is the least they deserved. It is absolutely shameful that Liverpool are unable to guarantee the safety of visiting players , as we found out at euro tie.Gary the rat never got locked up for incitement regarding shit at the swamp. why the rush for Zebra pants is beyond me ;-)
I think the issue was that ‘impartial’ became - ‘we must be seen to be impartial and get 2 people of opposing sides to speak about everything’.The BBC used to be impartial and critical of government cock ups. But now we've got a government who do nothing but cock ups, they've threatened them into toeing the line and they've, at least on the news programs, become a government mouthpiece.
Brexit destroyed them. They tried so hard to keep both sides happy they lost both.
Even if one view was agreed by a large majority (say 80+%), they had to show another person with a differing generally diametrically opposite view.
so they did that because they were getting flak for not showing differing (albeit minority) views, and then they got flak for catering for minority (opinion) views and giving them airtime.
damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.
…and somewhere within all that the ‘news’ lost the ability to just present impartial factsand became a useless talking heads soundbite driven ‘balanced’ viewpoints fact-lite pandering to the celebrity/15 minutes of fame style news … it generates eyeballs/clicks, but isn’t ‘news’.
why you need to ‘go live’ to a reporter (and camera man, and sound man, and runner and producer etc) to generally repeat/rehash exactly what was said in the studio before going to ‘our man at the scene’… I don’t know. If it was , say, a developing situation eg a war report, then that makes sense, but most of the time it’s a rehash of the initial spiel from the studio , or with some random who adds diddly to a factual story that could have been presented and articulated far better and quicker (giving more time to more news stories to be presented) by the studio presenter.
I stopped watching the news when it became talking head/interview on street driven - it became opinion led , rather than factual led.

Opening line of Guardian Liverpool v City preview by the journalist/troll Will Unwin:
"Manchester City fans have not been in attendance for a league win at Anfield since 2003", when "City have not won at Anfield since 2003" would be much simpler.
This is designed to make fans comment so don't do it! They want fans posting on their site, to generate revenue so don't give it to them. Clear trolling of City's fanbase so those City fans contributing should think about what they are doing.

It's fine - it's true, and your alternative is inaccurate. City haven't won at Anfield since February.

There are many articles that are worthy of this thread - to highlight the bullshit, bias and blatant hypocrisy.Opening line of Guardian Liverpool v City preview by the journalist/troll Will Unwin:

Didn't know the first bit!
Again why your obsession with reporting the Guardian and your obsession with reading what is clearly a long term hate campaign of our club and owner?Opening line of Guardian Liverpool v City preview by the journalist/troll Will Unwin:

Because it follows from their long term hate campaign and I am a City supporter. If the boycott was 100% effective it would seriously damage their coverage. Fans use it to discuss football generally. It would be damaged if it was perceived as partisan.Again why your obsession with reporting the Guardian and your obsession with reading what is clearly a long term hate campaign of our club and owner?
Supporting City is not about personal entertainment. Do you go to the matches?
I know that it's literally true but it's still designed to be a wind-up. It has to be. Hr knows exactly what he's doing. If he doesn't he shouldn't be a journalist. They must think about their comments for a while. It's their job not flippant comment on bluemoon.
If it was a one-off, I might not register but it's continual leading me to conclude that they are using City as a way of driving traffic.
