The programme was a big bag of bitter rag piss, coughed up by the BBC at the rag's request, with much handwringing over City sending all their academy kids to St Bede's private school. It featured a lengthy interview with Dave Horrocks, head honcho of Manchester youth feeder club Fletcher Moss Rangers, only the BBC Sports department being little more than an infestation of rag cnuts in a sack, they neglected to mention that Fletcher Moss Rangers is almost exclusively a feeder club for the rags and that friend Horrocks has a season ticket at the Swamp, and instead attempted to pass the bastard off as a 'neutral'. A 'neutral' who just happened to describe City's private school education policy as 'immoral' and alluded to City making underhand approaches to parents, and so forth.
Oh and the other two 'guests' were Andy Mitten, editor of a rag fanzine, and James Ducker, a sycophantic rag hack who hates us.
By the way, based on the current annual fees, it would have cost the rags about £1m to send all their kids to St Bede's as well, a drop in the ocean when one considers their £400m pa turnover. That they choose not to, but would rather woman and whine about City doing so, tells you exactly what a cheapskate club they truly are

Couldnt have put it better...saw the programme, total rag love in.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Couldnt have put it better...saw the programme, total rag love in.

The question should be...................."when isn't there a total rag love in".

And the program hinted that City were bribing parents to send their kids to the campus

Let's be fair - the 'neutral' Rashford-club coaching, multi-united youth player providing, old trafford season ticket holder said that. The BBC didn't.

Bastard City, offering kids a full education, whether they drop out of the academy or not.

The article appears to be a lot more balanced than the radio broadcast.

Can assure you that he is not remotely respected at the Guardian.

Is there somewhere he is respected? Don't some Utd fans laugh at his bias as well? (Or was that Ogden?)

This morning on talk shite ( don't ask) The little #unt previewing the scums game with the Spanish scum could not blow any more smoke up their arses if he tried, going on about the two biggest clubs in the world and a almost enitlement that this game should be played out by these teams and what a great spectacle it'll be.. Yeah fuckin right it will ! No game with that boring arrogant twat is ever a spectacle! So I then turned it over to news on another station.. and BOOM !! Manchester Utd are going for their 4th trophy in 12 months. WTF !!! Why, all of a sudden are friendlies and charity Shields being counted as trophies? ?? Why, I'll tell you ##ckin why, because them #unts are shopping at Aldi in the trophy stakes and winning 2 grade B cups doesn't sound half as good as winning 4 trophies in a year.. which is a f##king lie anyway, because they won the amazing coveted charity shield against Leicester on 7/8/16 so even that claims a ##cking lie ! I f##cking detest them with every breath I take and all the vile properganda that goes with it. Rant over, back to sticking pins in my Paul Scholes doll.

But no mention of mourinho blatantly tapping up Gareth Bale. In fact it's been encouraged by the media

Of course it is. They could spend 300 million on bale and pay him 1 million a week and the media would paint it as a historical moment for the premier league, hailing mourinho as a genius.

Only this morning i saw an article on the BBC about how Matic is the last piece in the united puzzle and they are now destined for greatness. No mention of blowing 50 million on a past it 29 year old who chelsea didn't want.

50 million for a fullback. It has now become a cliche for the dullards.

But this is why some of us get upset at bias reporting. The agenda is set; the clueless pundits begin repeating and suddenly the bias reporting becomes the accepted truth.

Now that happens if I don't listen or do listen, whether I do read it don't read it.
That is why ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

Not necessarily City related, but did anyone watch the sky debate thing last night with Carragher and Redknapp? The narrative around VVD and Couthino was sensational - Saints need to man up and know their place in society and let him free to the bigger club (straight faced I tells ya and not a peep about the Sterling scenario ie wanting to move to a bigger club so should have been left go). Then said in the next 3 min slot that Cou cou should stay at Pool another couple of years cos playing with Hendo and Can is the better move instead of going to play with Messi and the rat.

Redknapp, straight faced, even said "putting aside our obvious Liverpool allegiance this is the right thing to do" at one stage.

Carra said in the VVD discussion he's worth 40 to suit the narriative, then 5 mins later when discussing the 100 mill on offer he said "full backs are now going for 50 or 60 million and VVD is worth 70 million, thus Cou cou is worth more than 100 million". Couldn't make it up, there in one 10 min chat you had the whole media bias summed up.

Sigh.
