We can see the BBC narrative coming from a mile off.
MoTD will open with pictures of cobbled streets set in Salford. Portraying a history of working class, salt of the earth people with the Salford City club badge laying in the rain. David Beckham picks it up and rings Phil Neville (change in narrative as Gary is contracted to Sky) to create a 'proper Mancunian club'. Cue a picture of the crass of 1999 followed by a montage of their 'success'. The scene moves to a 1990's style Tele in Salford City football club bar of the FA Cup draw and Dion picking out Salford City.
A silhouette of the Etihad under an 'eastern sky' appears with a brief montage of our success. Cuts to real rags lifting the cup last season and City players looking miserable. Something about mighty empires falling with the montage of Pep self harming. "Can Salford make Manchester red again?" the narrator says.
Fades to Mark Chapman introducing Ginger Pig, Phil Chuckle and for 'balance' Andy Cole.
