Absolute jokers. Sooner the cunts are shut down the better. No better than the Sun or Mirror websites these days. With its only decent use being the weather forecast.

Erm.....

Also a puff piece on the positives & negatives of The Rags transfer window. Cavani being quoted as a potentially good influence on the younger strikers. Someone else pointed out that he does not speak a word of English - not sure how he's going to communicate that positive influence.

By the medium of mime?

Erm.....

Haha fair enough. I stand corrected. All of it is fucking shite on there.



Sounds about right.

BBC Diversionary Reporting

We have witnessed this week the usual diversionary reporting to distract attention from the real stories, i.e. Liverpool conceding seven goals, the worst ever from a defending PL winner, and the most let in by a top flight champion for about 70 years ! Along with The Six Shippers from out of town, after all their defence spending and paying their keeper the highest salary in the PL whilst the United Way was to grab a youthful last minute Cavani `bargain`.

Instead, among others, we get another misleading headline from the BBC in typical headline writers style.

Soriano defends Man City spending

Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano defends the club's decision to spend over £120m on new players.

www.bbc.co.uk

It is good though that Ferran Sorriano was speaking at the Leaders in Sport Conference and hopefully his influence can grow now that the shackles of the UEFA case have been lifted and more attention can be given to driving City and the CFG forward.

There is though a lot of rightful outrage at the continuing distortion of so many City related pieces



and particularly the BBC and their infamous reporter Simon Stone, who has twisted a story line which could have been much better focused on substantial and serious items. Unfortunately it is now established that the Beeb`s Salford Rags Outpost at the Quays is more concerned about trivialising important debates about the structure and financing of the game and business, than the higher standards its football reporting was long ago nationally renowned for. That was before some recruits from Old Trafford literally crossed the ship canal.

Amazed that public money is allowed to pay for Stone's salary.

I really think the major question which the media should be addressing is Liverpool's sudden defensive weakness.
Whenever we won the premiership I am sure that our ability to retain it was questioned by the media! They almost seemed to be willing us to screw up so their favourites could move back to their rightful place!
Last season we scored more goals than them so a lot of their advantage was based upon defensive solidity, even though they actually only conceded 1 less goal than us over the season. Their ability to scrap out results was however based on conceding so few goals, especially before the resumption of the season.
Are their any articles addressing this issue?
Last season Liverpool conceded 33 goals over the season in Premiership!
They have already conceded 11 in 4 games. Only WBA have conceded more. If they carried on at this rate it works out as conceding over 100 goals over the season.
The facts are that whenever we gain supremacy, our position is immediately questioned and whenever they have the advantage everything is, brushed under the carpet and ignored by the media.
We need to pressure outlets like the bbc regarding their editorial choices, which appear to be inherently biased!

You’d think that a bit of analysis of the last 22 league & cup games would show scored 36 & conceded 37 & that they’ve gone out of every cup competition in the same period.
