In truth, if the media (certain parts of them) had any scruples, they'd be ashamed.
SSN this morning decided to show the most expensive "current" prem league side.
Emerson in goal, 3/4 defenders...VVD the exception.
2 midfielders.
6 City players
Only 3 for the rags.
However, this was playing a 4-2-3-1 formation.
So actually, depending on the formation, you can twist this one of many ways.
It was all pointing to City spending money.
Yet, no mention that the 4 most expensive signings (VVD, Pogba, Lukaku, Martial) weren't City, and 3 of the most expensive, are Rags.
One of those items where you can move it to suit the message the broadcaster wishes to deploy to the viewers.....the message is clear.
City are the bad guys...the rags are the good guys, and simply can't be put down in any form.....ah well...shit happens... sadly, we have to live with it.
One day a broadcaster will have the bollocks (as does Martin Samuels) to air the truth, one day broadcasters won't be afraid of the "establishment", one day......maybe.
