Prior to the Club World Cup, the BBC's Dan Roan made it clear that the BBC were hostile to the Club World Cup due to alleged connections to Saudi Arabia through the broadcaster DAZN, and that Saudi Arabia had a controversial human rights record. Then for the last month we have been bombarded with propaganda about the Lionesses.

For all the talk of Arab sportswashing, no one indulges in this more than the BBC.

Be very careful criticising the BBC or the Savile appreciation society will land near you with their microphones and funny hair.
 
Alongside the state broadcaster, the internet is now growing and a myriad of minor, niche organisations are online from Bluemoon to Stretford Paddock. These organisations gives people a voice but when ideas are dominated by conservatism and populism it's not always an alternative.

I always thought it was odd that City unlike Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal do not have a major fan channel but it's a good thing that we do not. After Man Utd bombed 5 players out of their pre-season training: Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, Antony and Malacia, I have noticed that Utd fans have become hostile towards these players.

I watched the Stretford Paddock video, "THIS Has Really Changed At Manchester United Under Ruben Amorim", on Youtube this morning. At ~33 minutes, their presenter Adam Mckola says he wants to go on record to say "Sancho is the biggest waste of space ever. the worst signing Manchester United have ever made. I can't stand the sight of him. Good riddance to him." That's not Man Utd's view but I think Utd knew what they were doing when they let the media know that the 5 players would train on their own. They used their own fanbase to apply pressure.

We don't have an AFTV or a Goldbridge, but we do have a lively presence on YouTube now, it's grown considerably over the last few years. There's some great City fan channels out there, none of them could be described as toxic, some of them are a bit bonkers, but for the most part they're fun and informative.
 
Looking at some click bait shit, an XI of players who forced a move by going on strike...... Berbatov, tevez and surprisingly sterling.

Equally surprisingly, no mention of vd Vergil or ten foreheads mane going on strike.

Just transparent how their multiple shills are putting out the message they earnt the right to spend as they're not that type of club.......

The comments on these articles reveal they're preaching to their target red cheeks audience.

But but Sancho himself said he had come home!!!

And don't get me started on that gobshite Mckola.

He is the epitome of the current red mardarses we have the misfortune of hearing. Fuckin big crybaby and all he lives for is the outcome of the 115, been used to winning everything and now they are not it's because of corruption and cheating.

He is the chief wanker amongst red wankers out there.

This is his head right now.

Everything Roan writes is biased towards his own personal politics. His coverage over the years of City has been despicable. That’s why he was banned by the club which has never happened to any other media person.

Laughable they can put snide digs in like that when City spend but Liverpool spending when they haven’t posted a profit since 2022 is seen as a well run club going about its business. Bringing Trafford back shoes how the academy works in getting young players out gaining experience and having the option to buy them back if Pep thinks they will make the grade.

The rags and dippers haven’t been able to replicate City’s academy in how it identifies and develops talent that then recoup fees from other clubs for players. It’s made City a billion since the CFAs construction in 2014 but they don’t want to talk about that.

Where was the BBC's concern about the human rights of the victims of Savile, Rolf Harris, Gregg Wallace and Huw Edward's (and those are just the ones we know about)?

Wasn’t much concern from the BBC when their chief sports editor was at the scene of a helicopter crash at the King Power stadium and laughing about the relationship of two of the people who had just perished. If it was someone associated with City acting like he did you can bet your mortgage he would have been penning articles pushing for that person to be sacked and how bad an organisation City were.

That ban was a long time ago, does it still hold today?

Come to think of it where were the BBC during the grooming scandal, post office scandal, MPs expenses, banking scandal, scores of corruption cases and neglect of patients in multiple health trusts, the infected blood cases. They were lagging behind on all these stories which were broken by journalists with a lot less resources. why don’t they investigate what is happening in the UK outside the London bubble?

They weren't arsed about those victims, Huw kept getting his huge wage though when suspended.
Shame on the BBC.
If I lived in the UK no way would I pay that license fee.
 
Oliver Holt is writing countless articles about Newcastle, it has became a main topic for him.and Barcode fans have no right to complain about Isak situation...
and of course how PSR is good if it stops Newcastle from killing the PL.
if Liverpool wins next 5 titles in a row that will be lauded I guess.
 
“If Liverpool fc donated just 1% of their obscene £400,000,000 summer spend on mercenary footballers to their struggling neighbours Morecambe fc, a great grass roots club with a proud 105 years history, would stay alive, shame on Liverpool, a plague on their house”



If I ever get a job in the mainstream media
