Just looking at the BBC Football FA Cup page and if you click on the scores, you get the report, including the attendance. Apart from one game that is, where they seem to have forgotten to include the official attendance.

Bet you can't guess which game is missing the attendance figure?
Actually they did. 50,000.
 
Wasn’t sure which thread to put this in but just watched the Bernardo and Paul Lake interview and it was superb. So great to see the club ensuring that former players like Paul are involved in stuff like this and gives the current players more of a feeling of what the club means to people.

They have done this ever since the days of LVG...(when I 1st started noticing it). Anytime there is a doubt (unlit top tier, camera angle escaping directors cut etc) on the 'this is manshesternitid you can't get a ticket, always sold out' myth being busted (again, and again and ...etc). I haven't looked for the past couple of years, but it's been going on for a decade at united's cheerleaders across the water at the beeb.

It's not just me then.

They've definitely got a policy of hiding certain attendances, (especially for the lesser competitions) before eventually revealing a suspiciously high figure

You could see huge gaps in the build up to Eriksson's goal v FC Twente, but sure enough they still claimed a laughable 73,069

Similarly they'll eventually claim 73,511 v Fulham despite even their own fans commenting on the empty seats.

This one?

 
Micah Richards is a fucking class clown but the novelty wore off on me a long long time ago. I am more of a fucking ambassador for City than him the tarquin ****.
Martin Keown is a bitter tarquin ****. Rather Liverpool win 25 premier leagues more than Arsenal win fucking 1 more.
Basically the media are all cunts which is why I dont really read it or listen to it anymore.
 
Is Howard Webb still on their payroll, or does he just do it out of love?
He is probably still scared shitless of the GPC.
Will be interesting which of the spineless referees come out with stories of how MUFC controlled the officials, when the GPC snuffs it ?
No doubt one of the shithouses will spill the beans, as their dirty brown envelopes stopped in 2013...
