Of all the sycophantic bastards towards the rags in the media the one that really stands out for me is the BBC Football site. It is obviously controlled by a legion of rags who angle every story possible in a pro scum way. Just take a look at tonights preview of their FA cup reply with West Ham in all its toe sucking glory.
Manchester United
• Treble-chasing Manchester United boast the best record in the FA Cup, with 18 appearances in the final, 11 of which were won - five under Sir Alex Ferguson.
• This is the fifth successive time they have been drawn against fellow Premier League opposition in the competition, and the 20th in 25 rounds. When Fergie's men last qualified for the final in 2007, they faced fellow top-flight opposition in all six rounds.
• The Red Devils have only gone out in the third round once under Ferguson, and are looking for their 150th clean sheet in the FA Cup.
West Ham United
• The 1964, 1975 and 1980 winners, who last made an appearance in the final in 2006, have failed to get past the FA Cup third round in three of the past five seasons.
• They have also been beaten on each of the last six occasions they have been drawn against Premier League clubs in the FA Cup, and have not knocked one out since Middlesbrough in the 2006 semi-finals.
• Four Premier League clubs were certain to fall by the wayside when the third round draw was made.
The Dirty B*stards!
