Manchester United 0-0 Leeds: Diego Leon catches eye in friendly draw

Young full-back Diego Leon impresses during Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Leeds in their pre-season friendly.

www.bbc.co.uk

The first paragraph. "Whisper it quietly but Manchester United may have found a little gem in young full-back Diego Leon."

They never fucking learn.

Edit: I see @TShed got here before me but I'll leave it here anyway!

Highlight of this footballing clinic was a "short pass" delivered with a "delicate touch you would not normally expect of someone Leon's size", despite him being a "little gem". He's 5'10".

Stone obviously gone to Stockholm to do a unbiased objective report for the BBC on 2 English clubs playing in a friendly

Can’t understand how his output never mentions any role the rags opposition had in a game which was clearly dominated by Leeds if you exclude shots at but ended up nowhere near the goals

And dedicates his report to some no mark 18 year old kid ffs “whisper it quietly ……” bollocks another second coming on its way pmfsl

When I pointed out that the 8 (at least) articles Stone has penned on their website today might suggest some bias towards the rags, my comment was deleted in seconds. Perhaps I should have just called us cheats, that would definitely have got past those cunts.

And the 5' 10" giant only played 45 minutes, you'd think he'd completed a whole fucking season!

Doesn’t seem to outraged about the millions pumped in illegally via interest free owner loans at Liverpool, Arsenal, Brighton and Everton. The rapture for that is coming in October via our lawyers.

Or even his beloved Wrexham for that matter.....

Double standards. I just loathe him more than any other of the media shills and my god the competition is high.

As far as I can tell, the only pre-season friendly to get a write-up on the BBC

Whisper it quietly but Manchester United may have found a little gem in young full-back Diego Leon.

And exactly why the BBC Sport section needs to be defunded by the taxpayer.

Fucking criminal abuse of public money .

Exposed by his own words there, which is hardly surprising as he is a sinfully thick ****.

Putting aside the arguable tautology of whispering something quietly (is it even possible to whisper something loudly?) the only reason there would be to whisper it at all is because of the previous track record of young United players being heralded like this before turning out to be a bag of unadulterated wank - so why say it at all if you are expressly acknowledging the previous history?

The thick **** can’t help himself. He is a fucking disgrace. Really hope Pep starts treating him with the contempt he deserves next season. Merely being dismissive doesn’t cut the mustard with this malign ****, I’m afraid.

 

[Aba452]

Noticed the nytid way was on sky showcase. Gave it a miss as I'm on a man Vs food marathon and its much less barf inducing watching the fat chap guzzling food like a latter day Caesar than watching the turdiest of turd polishings by these sad bastards.

 

[Earlyriser]

Re the Ian Herbert article it is still up on that website after 6 days which must be a record and tells you a lot. Either that or management are hoping City sue them for everything a la Trump and The Wall St Journal so they can sack him

No it's not.

His last article, attack on City, was up for over a week. After that it slowly dropped down the main page.

Totally agree mate. In the days of streaming a and much better programmes and multiple choice then fuck it off. I don’t watch anything from them anymore. Paedo and sexual predator harborers and we are expected to fund this.

Wow liverpool redefining how add ons are structured into transfer deals
Who,d of thought it

 

[manimanc]

Aw isn't it cute that the media are sugarcoating Liverpool spending north of 300m and saying they can spend another 200m and still be within the PSR regulations.

I didn't think the media liked clubs spending lots of money as it ruins the game.

Just think of these poor NHS workers on a pittance as well.

I'm dreading those first mumbled syllables and hesitations at the 1st presser of the season from the thick ****:-

"Err...Hi Pep....errrr...." emerging breathily and nasally, with a trademarked annoying slightly high pitch, then a feeling of immediate dread due to instant boredom enveloping the press conference room and spreading worldwide via the internet - into our homes and offices - as the realisation hits us: you just know it's him - again!

Another Slimy Stone season awaits us.

Never sure why the BBC routinely gets the first question. We, or Pep, should also make sure that every time he is introduced he is referred to using the title the BBC gave him in recent complaints correspondence - the Manchester United correspondent.

It also begs the question that if, as the BBC maintain, he's their united correspondent, why he's even attending our press conferences?

He should either cover both clubs in an even-handed fashion or they should send someone else to the CFA.

The fact that the BBC allowed him to attend the launch of the Tag Heuer sponsorship, blatantly promote it (and potentially acquire a branded watch for himself) then defend that as an act of public interest, demonstrates what a bunch of lying snakes the BBC are when it comes to defending their constant cock-sucking of their rag darlings.
