Maybe I am imagining things but there has generally been a remarkable cooling off of aggression towards City in the press. In the run up to the Derby and even after a good thrashing there really hasn't been much to take geat offence to. Herbert aside. Or maybe I take less and less notice ....

That might ofbeen down to a couple of losses ;)

The thing is the masses lap this shite up about their suposed historicall pull over over City. Someone should should point out that ambitious 26 year old footballers don't give a fuck about united's history City have been the dominant club over the last 10 to 15 seasons, they remember that.

He’s absolutely thick as mince as well. The standard of coverage of the national game on the national broadcaster- especially when compared to games likes cricket and rugby - is a National embarrassment. When did you learn anything by listening to these pundits? I don’t usually watch the pundits on MOTD but did after the Derby. Theo Walcott could barely get his words out and everything he said was incoherent hot air.

I’ve watched one MotD this season, seen Rooney and haven’t given it a thought since. Waste of space.

Another United article on BBC United - Mediacity.

www.bbc.co.uk

Manchester United: Are club showing any signs of progress under Ruben Amorim?

Senior Manchester United officials remain fully supportive of Ruben Amorim and insist on most statistics the Reds are performing better than last season.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

The comments are brilliant.

The BBC are just trolling you at this point.
"
BBC articles and headlines for Man Utd in a single day:
Are Man Utd showing any signs of progress under Amorim?
Mainoo doesn’t have the right partner.
Amorin needs to “relax” approach.
I am not going to change formation – Amorim.
Quality not there – Scholes

'Analysis' articles in the past 7 days about the following clubs:

Liverpool: 3
Arsenal: 6
Tottenham Hotspur: 7 (including Levy fall-out)
Bournemouth: 3
Chelsea: 7
...
Manchester United: 22.

This needs to stop.

Really, do we need yet another United story BBC. Its beyond a joke now, you are not sponsored by them, we pay the license fee and expect equal coverage of the other 91 teams. Why is someone else bar the Usual BBC United official PR Stone writing about United again.

Actually, I do think we should all start raising formal complaints to the BBC on this, as it is genuinely becoming an issue in terms of imbalance / impartiality (and reader irritation!). I will make a start!

Simon Stoned's day off, but he left strict instructions to keep the quota up

When you stop paying the licence fee it becomes the daily mail. Good for fixtures in all sport. The documentary stuff would be made anyway. The rest is shite.

In the entire history of Manchester derbies the goals scored by both clubs are level, 278 each. Where is this historical pull over city?

Smith didn’t say they had more historical pull. He said that playing for the club that finished fifteenth last season, that isn’t in Europe, that is currently in the bottom half, that has a long standing record of ruining footballers, whose stadium roof leaks and that has just sacked all the dinner ladies is ‘glamorous’.

If he thinks that is glamorous fuck me I'd hate to see his missus.

Thing is, if Donnarumma had signed for United and made his debut on Sunday he’d have immediately turned into peak Barry Siddal.

Taking football allegiances out of the equation, why would any rational footballer sign for that club during or approaching their peak if their principal ambition in the game was to improve as a footballer?

Operation keep them being mentioned still in full swing...paperboy was a rag in a piece on the main breakfast show and a small bit on that dick in Spain who won't cut his hair (how long ago was that 'news'?) on the local news.

Made me laugh that, the paperboy that keeps buying rag stuff via his soon to be redundant paperboy job. An old job that's now just for an aging, mostly out of touch demographic, with a penchant for yesterday's news.

Quite apt.
