Don't tell me they've bent the knee as they say on GOT!

They, and the entire media, have been "bending the knee" since the late 1950s - the date escapes me!

It's nothing new.

Interesting opening line...

That's pretty disgraceful.
It's also reaching quite a bit - Girona were in the 2nd division last year, so European qualification might be a way off.

Yet another complaint gone into the BBC re Newsnight. Pulled them up the other week re their website using basic fees for United and transfer fee plus add ons for our transfers. They tried to lie their way out of it as usual; truth doesn't seem to be high on BBC Sports agenda these days.

All BBC Sport content goes through Media City. This includes social media and internet content. It would be fair to say that the influences of the local football team has quite a bearing on their output. Remembering back to the Pete the Badge comment, highly likely some young intern being clever, and trying to make a name for themselves with their Rag mates. Absolutely no excuse for the BBC cover up that followed, but then what do you expect from an organisation that knew what Uncle Jimmy was up to years before it was common knowledge?

Not only can I give you the date but isn't there a clock somewhere that shows the exact time the arse-lickin' began?

The DT this morning in good old RagPuffery style have 56 column inches on why Matic is the shrewdest buy in the entire window, and MCFC, the only team to play their home games within the geographical boundary of the City of Manchester, have 14 column inches on why we risk upsetting Girona. If the Good Sheikh takes a hefty stake in the Spanish club Uefa rules state that two teams with the same owner are ineligible so Girona might miss out. What's the likelihood of Girona making European qualification? What's the likelihood of the RagDipperArseHaringeyMeedya coming up with a story about us that has as much chance of happening as DEB'e stuffing the Eiffel Tower in his pocket and selling it on Conran Street Market?

But not one to let an opportunity go begging, the DT, within the Rag article, happen to mention that CFC's owner is Russian and that he is a billionaire. And, yes, you bastards on 'ere have guessed right - they mention yet again that our owner is an Arab and he's a billionaire. And yer second guess is also correct - there's no mention within the 56 column inches of those dear people who own MANUre, or where they are registered or what their cultural or religious background is! Puzzling!

The one thing you can always lay at the door of the RDAHM is that they are consistent in their puffery!

There's not many who work for the BBC that can raise a chuckle from me, but Clive is one of 'em!

Watching newsnight and they are asking are the premier league doing enough to help grass roots by investing only £100m considering its new t.v. deal. Quickly followed by "that's only 2 players for man city". Had to laugh, they just can't help themselves

who said that, out of interest? Presenter or talking head?

Usual BBC bias this morning on 5 Live. Talked about Liverpool's game at Hoffenheim but not a mention of our game in Girona.
