Maybe you're better calling them Shirley

How can that break any rules.

Despite it being an absolute truth, it's the kind of fact they are willing to airbrush from history in appeasement of the red shirts. They are more than happy letting red shirt fans spout absolute bollocks though.

BBC Sport can no longer be seen as objective or credible and arguably hasn't been for a very long time.

A nasty piece of shit

He repeated it on talkshite just after the window closed. The southern fat rag followed up with hoping we'd get relegated. Darragh; to his credit told him United have more chance of going down this season's which shut him up.

I get the feeling he was telling Crooks he's getting a shoeing in the breaks because of all the digs he was making about Liverpool after.

Crook didn’t say he hoped we’d get relegated, he told the Peterborough owner they were likely getting relegated.

As for the owner, almost always hugely complimentary to us, despite being a Liverpool fan, suggested we’d strung the process out with lawyers and that we’d likely be writing a big cheque, presumably for non-cooperation, as we all suspect. He then said he didn’t have any view on a points deduction or ‘any of that nonsense’ as that was for after the verdict came out.

It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard to be honest and, even if perceived as negative, I’d say he’s 90/10 in the positive for city column and I’m happy with that.

Thank you for the correction.

Darragh is one of the rare voices that's positive about us through his business dealings and support the club have given with loan signings.

BBC don't allow any posts defending the club or its supporters. They are disgraceful. I avoid their app and website now and I'm a lot happier for it.

My argument here is WHY should any football supporter avoid looking on a website that is owned by the British tax payer. There should be no bias of any form from the BBC so why should we as a club tolerate this shit day in day out. These cesspit journalists believe they are untouchable with regards City. I just think the club and us supporters could find ways of hitting back. Maybe plant banners around the lower sections of the ground with anti BBC, Sky and named journalists.
Just an idea, so don't have a blast back at me.
I do believe that it is an attempt by these scum bastards to quell the rise in City's popularity around the world. orchestrated by the cartel and friends.

Whilst I totally agree that any interaction with these tossers is win win for them, I genuinely am pissed off with my club for not tackling these racist, misleading arseholes and either banning them access to the club or in the extreme cases using the legal route to seek damages.

I replied to one saying "Surely this is libellous? Hope you enjoy your day in court ;)"
(it was an article about the Tim Sherwood retraction/apology)

It was also removed, promptly

The explanation was that I was impersonating somebody that I was not, namely our clubs lawyers!

Come on Lord Pannick let them ave it
 
Good old Darragh appears to have been told to be a little more critical of City, despite him being very complimentory in the past.
DON'T LET IT WIND YOU UP.
We have literally inflicted GBH on the cartel etc and the media will always try to get a nibble.
Smile, enjoy life and get the popcorn out in a few weeks

Some **** on Sky News just saying Manchester City spending the most money in the transfer window ‘as usual’. Then another ****, Harris, crowbars the charges in with tedious predictability, without referencing City’s denial, again with tedious predictability.

Would you say, all in all, balancing one thing with another and taking a broad view, that they’re a bunch of cunts?

This is exactly my beef, the BBC is tax payer funded, they have a duty to be completely unbiased but in fact are quite the opposite. Now I guess they could say they are only representing what the public at large want etc etc

Much as I would like to pitch up at media city and twat one of them over the head with a baseball bat, that would be very bad news for me (no pun intended) as I dont fancy the spending the rest of my life in prison. Hence it’s down to the club to do something but “the club” are just folk doing a job, they probably have little or no allegiance to the club hence don’t give two shits what the media say.

So we are stuck with it.

Just listening to Monday night club on bbc sounds playback from earlier. This arsenal love-in section is making me feel queasy. Thing is, they still haven’t questioned what it all actually means, and mentioned whether they think they’ll overcome liverpool …

They don't have to question what it actually means.

They've arrived as far as the BBC are concerned. Arsenal have dispatched MCFC and that constitutes a very successful season for the BBC.

The BBC do not actually give a flying fuck who wins the premier league, just as long as MCFC don't.

One of the reasons Tottenham get off so lightly with the BBC and their stern criticism of all things football, is that they've been our bogey team and that suits the narrative.
