BBC Verify....I watched Ross Atkins do a couple of pieces on politics prior to Verify setting up and he was I felt really good.BBC Verify - Marianna Spring is their fact checker in chief - the woman that lied on her CV to get the job.
Verify starts and he does something on us, pile of crap full of untruths. I was hoping he'd be on the ball but, like the rest of them, only when it suits.

The BBC gossip page is written by one of the Brontes but with Angela Rayner's grammar inserted to make it look authentic.I think the BBC gossip page is more of a 'wish list' for their red-shirted readers.

That’s got a potential for a creative wank that image.

I thought I'd best check.
She lied on her CV for a job application but when caught she said 'but everything else is true'.
The laugh is, she lied about working for the bbc who she now works for ....checking for lies.

She's made quite the career for a lying fucker telling other lying fuckers to stop lying, she even wrote a book about it.

Cool name though. Perhaps that's why she got the gig.BBC Verify - Marianna Spring is their fact checker in chief - the woman that lied on her CV to get the job.
The BBC went into lock-step with other international news agencies to decide which stories they deem are true and which they deem aren'tBBC Verify....I watched Ross Atkins do a couple of pieces on politics prior to Verify setting up and he was I felt really good.

More mindless rubbish to undermine City and promote controversy where none exists.
UEFA convention records the final score for coefficients so the result for City v Real Madrid was a draw - both on the day and over the two legs. Someone has to go through in a knockout competition and in this case it was on penalties. Previously decisions have been made on away goals, the toss of a coin or currently on penalties. It maybe pedantic but you can lose the tie and win or draw the game
Had City played at the Etihad first and lost on penalties away at the Bernabau would they still claim City had lost at home so the record could not stand? As City fans we have come to expect this level of puerile pettiness from our detractors who cannot accept our success.

Those are the competition rules they signed up to. If they hate them so much perhaps they should fuck off and play in another competition whose rules are more to their liking.Moving the goalposts after the event to try and hamper City. Sounds familiar…
That's how these things work isn't it?

Correct, we keep being up there with the best and the media have to pander to the also rans for their needy clicks.More mindless rubbish to undermine City and promote controversy where none exists.
