Right on cue - I had to stop at 'Both are hugely talented players' before my sides physically split..............
On the main piece about Garnacho being dumb, they talk about strong rumours of Barcelona looking at Rashford...and there's also an entire separate piece about Rashford wanting to play for Barcelona, which has been one of the main sub stories in the football section for over a day.
It's comical, if it wasn't so blatant player PR, (and Stone spinning...like an overwound free gift wristwatch... for the United club).
My latest complaint to the wonderful impartial BBC. It’s becoming a hobby this. Got quite a few going on and am not accepting their generic responses. I just keep going back no matter how hard they make it. I’ll keep you informed on this one
Dear BBC Sport,
I am writing to express my disappointment at the lack of live coverage on the BBC Sport website and app during Manchester City’s match in the FIFA Club World Cup last night.
Given that Manchester City is England’s most successful club over the past decade, and was representing the nation in what is widely regarded as club football’s premier international competition, I was surprised to find no live feed or in-game updates available. Instead, the main story during the match was a report on Jude Bellingham scoring for Borussia Dortmund against Mamelodi Sundowns — a match that had taken place two days earlier and bore no immediate relevance.
This lack of coverage stands in stark contrast to the extensive attention often afforded to Manchester United, including live updates and full reporting on off-season friendlies in far-flung locations. These matches, while less significant in sporting terms, have even warranted BBC Sport sending senior journalists Simon Stone — at licence payers’ expense — to provide live reporting.
As a paying licence fee holder, I would like a clear explanation of the editorial decision-making behind this disparity. Why was Manchester City’s Club World Cup match — a competitive fixture in a major FIFA tournament — deemed less newsworthy than a retrospective article or a pre-season friendly?
I look forward to your response and a justification for this editorial choice.
Kind regards

Why do you think the site changed to 20 posts a page - it was the only way they could fit them on lengthways.

top hole!
Very good but you’ve got the Bellends mixed up, it’s obviously Jobe, not the other tosser who plays for the arseholes in Madrid.

'kindred Spirits'...they have both made Sancho look reasonably well adjusted.
Doh. Considering the toss pots got my name wrong on my last complaint I’m not sure they will notice

The stats for both players suggests they are hugely average players. Totally bizarre hype around them.

What a shock. A PL poll that doesn’t think Kompany even belongs in the conversation.
Yet Tony fucking Adams and Camel Gob do.
