More raggy posturing…they never learn. I’m expecting this kid to be the regen of Maradona, Cruyff and Pele all rolled into one.

Just one of the daily Simon Stone articles on the Rags.
The 87 year myth about them having an academy player in a squad is peddled by the BBC as lots they class as academy players were bought from other clubs.

Is there a reason spurs only had 47000 at the game last night?
Not seen or heard any condemnation from the media how it should have been a sell out with 10s of thousands outside, full to brim from 3 o'clock in the afternoon just like the glory days of united and Liverpool.

Talkshite we're discussing it earlier. Their fans were saying it's because tickets were £60/100 each and had gone up massively this season compared to last. Simon Jordan, checked the stats online and said that even when tickets were cheap for European games last season, they still couldn't sell out.

Weird, if that's the case, why do media never call them out like they do us

It’s sickening.
Remember Marc Vivienne Foe.
That affected our players and Keegan.
I heard Keegan was in bits over it and couldn’t talk about it publicly.
We (to my knowledge and memory) never made the excuse.

Of course Jotas death will affect his friends and team mates. But using it as a de facto excuse is beyond sickening.

There are numerous issues with Liverpool this season which are not due to losing Jota.

Dublin is just a fucking buffoon who knows extremely little, fuck knows why the BBC love him so much.

The 87 year old record is having been mentioned everyday including Christmas Day by the BBC Sports department, they have like one of those H&S plaques number of days without an accident - "number of days shoehorned a United story in 31,776"!

It’s bollocks. There was a period of time when the only academy player on the team sheet was Johnny O’ Shite - who they bought as a 17 year old from Waterford Bohemians.

Waterford Bohemians are a junior club. (There is a senior club in Waterford called, apprpriately enough, Waterford and also a senior club in Dublin, called Bohemians).
That said, there are games where United claim one Wayne Rooney as their Academy representatove.
To he fair to the media, he's an obscure reference that the media may not know too much about but, if one digs deep enough, it turns out that he had played for the Everton first team (Everton in Liverpool, not the Cork junior team of the same name) and get this, may even have been capped for England and been named in the BBC's Team of the European Championships... all before United discovered him as a plucky 17 year old, selling dummies in a ginnel, and gave him one half of football in their Academy before launvhing his admittedly unheralded career.

Fucks sake have you heard that **** on Sly, I think he’s called Kaveh? (some pedantic **** will always correct me) talking like he’s Salah’s agent, impartial my arse

Kaveh Solekhol. The arsehole who, when the rags signed Donny van de Beek, said out loud that they'd got an £80 million player for £40 million. He was quiet when the rags subsequently sold him to Girona for 500,000 Euros after making only 35 PL appearances and scoring only 2 goals in his 4 years with the rags.

BBC complaint filed... I thought I'd done one on this subject before, but it was on a previous BBC complaint system

'
YOUR COMPLAINT:

Manchester United 87 years of Academy product  

As per a previous complaint. Manchester United have not had at least one Manchester United academy graduate in their matchday squad for 87 years. It is a myth and a lie, that is repeated time and again, by the BBC (and others).
The BBC website has it's dismissing of this myth in the matchday squad of at least one match http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9469712.stm
None of those United players in that match, in the matchday squad, came through the United Academy, including the oft repeated lie of John O'Shea, who was bought from Waterford Bohemians.
The "87" years lie, ended in 2011 after 73 years at most.

Even AI thinks it's the truth, until pointed at the bbc match report above, and then it did the equivalent of 'Oh...', after repeatedly saying that there was hundreds of articles that said it was 'true' prior to actually pointing it at a fact that blew the myth out of the water.
Can you please inform Mr Stone and the rest of the BBC sports department, that it is not true and to completely desist from repeating the lie, despite what the majority believe is "true", and to ensure at every opportunity that anyone repeating the lie is censured.
'


I've done a few complaints before - about "City is state-owned" lie, the Robin Olsen 'Assault' lie, and the Liverpool Tragedy chanting myth being it's all about Hillsborough lie.

You might as well read the Daily United/Liverpool, the Mirror, the Sun, the Express, or one of the other Red Shirt Cartel tabloids.

Man City, 7 headline letters, and that’s it, is next to the Women’s football article.

As you say.
