It's 7.30am UK time.

Unless I can't see it, in which case I apologise, there is no report on our 3-0 win over Spurs on the main BBC Foootball page.

Not for one second do I think it would be any different if United had beaten Spurs 3-0, with Rashford scoring.

Come on Frank, smell the coffee. Apart from the smell, the Coffee is tasting more and more bitter.

I think I'll have an early morning cup of tea and read what the fans have to say about the performance on BM. That tastes much better. Refreshing, sweet and just right. Lovely.

Or I could read BBC United Sports, located at Mediacity in Salford, across Salford Quays from the Theatre of BBC Sports Dreams. There's a clue there, Frank. ;-)

Then again, I can f*** BBC Sport, the Daily Fail, the MUEN, the Daily Mirror, Sly Sports News, etc off and find the highlights of the match on another website and watch the match myself. That's one of the plus points about the interweb. Oh, News Now Manchester City isn't bad either. At least you can sift through the s*** and pick positive and unbiased articles from various other websites.

Just for you Frank. Who the f*** are BBC Sport and Simon Stone?! Thank you to the person who posted the highlights on YouTube.

My apologies should have said football. Seems an appropriate place to me. On the Express page now also.

More than appropriate but given the homepage is normally the place for major sports news im a little surprised it hasn't made that as well?

I mean and U15 United game made it there just the other day ;-)

Where? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport

Here! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football 24 minutes ago. Ha!

It's already yesterday's chip paper football sports news.

I watched the highlights earlier this morning via BM. Read match reports via various news now Man City websites. Where was BBC Sports then?

It's f****ing s***, Frank! And on top of that we've got Simon Stone gritting his teeth, bashing his laptop keys, and trying to give a fair and unbiased report on the match. It must be killing him. But keep on manning the BBC Sports barricades. You're doing a wonderful job, Frank.

Frank, you can keep BBC Football. Enjoy it! :-? Thankfully the internet allows me and 100,000's of other City fans to get City match reports and articles from numerous other websites. I'm off to watch the match highlights again. And to make myself a cup of tea. :-)
 
It's on the BBC Football page now. Uploaded at 08.30 am. I missed it as well when I logged on

In depth it is as well.

Pep says we played better, Poch says we have spent more than them so it's obvious we are a little bit in front of them oh and we got reminded that Ederson cost £35M.

To be fair it wasnt a great performance or anything so not much more to say from Mr Stone.

But yet at 8:20 on a sunday morning you were searching for a City report on the BBC? Admit it you love the BBC as well :-).

Love it? No, but pay for it? Yes.

Given that i expect parity and unbiased, balanced reporting from an organisation that is publicly funded and does not rely on commercial revenue.

Apparently all that is in their charter......

I am starting to think I was at that U15 game the amount I have heard about it :-).

Seriously great performance but still only preseason friendlies. Pretty sure if we beat spurs in the league 3-0 it will make the sports page.

So if you expect parity why would you expect a city preseason friendly win to make the main sports page? What about all the other sides who have played friendlies, do they not deserve parity as well?

The BBC are always going to comment and always have on populist sports/stories. Its the reason we recrive so much publicity. Maybe less than United but more than 95 percent of clubs on the football pyramid.

Thanks to the BBC the nation got to hear about it!

Luckily for the majority who probably just browse the homepage, last night never happened.

That U15 piece scuttled your ship below the waterline Frank and you're desperately clinging to the only remaining piece of flotsam right now ;-)

Again, the BBC are not driven by the need for commercial revenue and have no need to become the same as those that are.

Whilst they ignore that and their own charter they will receive criticism for it.
 
People need to face up to the reality that a greater proportion of bbc and other media audience is interested in Utd than in us. (And maybe in some other teams too).

And it will remain so for some years until they are eclipsed where it matters, on the pitch and in the trophy room.

Bleating on about not being headline story etc and boycotting the BBC is laughably scouse and won't change anything. What the team delivers, over time, will.

But you do not really want parity if you are honest?

Crown green bowling, badminton all the other minor sports receiving equal billing on the Main Sports page?

It would never happen and you know this as people would not wade through all the pages to view content.

I must admit since hearing so much about Uniteds thrilling U15 victory I have become a bit of a fan and am looking forward to hearing more about them. No update on the main sports page since - I want parity :-)
