I have since been informed it is actually Jess Glynne which hasn't made me feel any better.

I don't think she adds much personally, and being an ex gooner isn't a great plus factor either.

Anyway FF is still shite and Nedum should find another income source instead of working for the cunts at the BBC - imho .

Start saving them all, compile it all into a book, publish it, sell it, make money, expose the paedo protectors at the Beeb (again), and finally have all your HYS comments in the public domain.


I'd buy it anyway.

Thanks, after one chapter it will make a good doorstop at least :)

Amazing the BBC are.

I wouldn’t argue with that on current form yet I’m sure it was a top 6 not so long since when their beloved Ushited were in 6th.

I guess shoe horning them is difficult now though when they’re 13th (or whatever position they’re in at the moment).

Also, pretty sure their beloved Ushited were further away from the leaders than what we are behind the new top three.

Nailed it. You can easily quantify it as well.

Look at the engagement on Twitter that Sam Wallace (Telegraph) gets for a story about, say, an England game. Then compare that to the engagement he gets for a City-related story. The latter gets vastly more views and likes, often by a factor of ten or more. They will actually be judged, and sometimes even remunerated, on this basis.

His editor will say "Sam, your average engagement is well down this week so you need to boost it. Our SEO executive says your stories about City's PL charges usually do the trick so bash one of those out, the more lurid and apocalyptic the better. There's a good lad".

This is precisely what is all about. It is a catastophe that independent journalism has virtually vanished from mainstream media. The reason why the BBC publishes so many hateful comments from the pubic at the bottom of their sports stories is that it increases engagement with the site, especially from global football fans. The BBC sells adverts overseas. This is a total dereliction of what the BBC should be doing ie providing an impartial and balanced coverage of UK sport. It really is a death race to the bottom.

Iirc, there was a book when I was a kid from Alan Coren (was it?) that included fake letters he sent taking the piss out of celebrities and politicians, along with their replies.

You should do it with the BBC complaints department. It didn't do him any harm ....

I posted on here a few weeks ago about a similar experience I had, when at the local village club I thought I heard the singer being announced as 'Some c*nt from Preston'. Turned out he was a 'Country and Western singer'. A subsequent trip to the GP's Practice Nurse for ear syringing has helped no end ever since..

Speculation would be rife about any club that was up on 115 charges. That's just the way of the world. Just shit for us it happens to be our club. I suggest we hire the worlds best IT squad to stop the hacking of sensitive club information. Even the dippers were roaming around our recruitment database for info. We must of had monkeys running the IT department during this period?. Pity the scouse clowns weren't hacking our database during the last 2 transfer windows.

That's all true but the way City have been treated by major elements of the UK media is much wider than speculation and started way before any allegations were made by the PL.
