Media bias against City

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Ex-pros carry more baggage onto MotD than yer can fit in the hold of a 747. Most of it is pretty worthless, unfit for purpose, snide, and would convince even the diehard Shearerites, Murphyites, et al that they know as much about football and football management that we don't know already as you could effectively fit on the sharp end of a pin. They might have been club and international stalwarts but as far as the grey matter between their ears goes, 'stalwart' is the last word to use.

I agree, one thing to pander to BBC majority viewers but another to allow Mr Shearers skewed opinions on a 6-1 rout to be broadcast as balanced opinion to that same majority.

Ok, but we all know that he's as Newcastle-centric as Ian Wright is Arsenal-biased. Take it with a pinch of salt, he's probably a very a disappointed man atm.

Interesting contrast between Shearer on MOTD and Wright on MOTD2. Shearer dresses himself up as an impartial pundit on MOTD and pretends to give reasoned feedback on both sides, which of course turns into drivel. Wright on the other hand, makes no bones about his support, and therefore sets a scene for his comments on Arsenal. Equally moronic analysis but we could forgive Wright as he's a fan as well.

This is just disgusting analysis. No credit whatsoever from the same prick that thought Aguero would be a flop.

My point was regards how it looks from BBC point of view. Presumably their non City supporting majority of viewers would also not agree with Mr Shearers views which does little for their attempt to pander to the masses.

Even Garth Crooks sees this and tries at least to redeem some semblance of fairness for BBC pundits.

That's bad even by the general standards of City reporting

Sick of MOTD. Even that great win they managed to focus on Newcastle.
