Pogba's free kick has just been described as a fantastic piece of skill, again, on Sky.

They have had a day now, to notice it was going ten fucking yards wide.

I noticed that this morning. Didnt see it but had heard a few people in media raving about it.

Watched it this morning. I think ten yards wide is being kind!

That's clearly wrong. You have inserted two vowels. There were no vowels in that Chesney guy. Just three letters - a random configuration of c, s and z to make up a name containing seventeen letters!

Fiz won't be happy ;)

Perhaps the Rags should buy John Stones. He made Maguire look good for England because Stones had the pace. I am only half joking.

Which half?

Let him have it. Just means it will go to his head and sometime in the near future he will be sauntering around the pitch thinking he's brilliant and it will cost them

The beauty of the internet is that you can retrospectively alter stuff and cover errors. The mail has inserted deflected into a headline that now looks weird. The rabing sbout the skill has gone. The BBC now tamely describes it as a set piece that found the top corner via deflection. And even the MUEN now describes it as an own goal.
Of course you don't expect truth from Sky.

New BBC Boss, Tim Davie, has said he wants to cut down on bias and opinion and become truly independent again. Maybe we should bombard him with the sports writers and presenters, like Dan Roan & silly Sally, who show obvious bias in their reporting!

If Sky had the option of reporting material factually, or having a red hot poker, or a poker at any temperature as long as it was red, rammed rectumwards, I think, on balance, they would choose the latter.

If only they had jobs to go to to while away the hours.

Conversing with the flowers?
EDIT: If they only had a brain.

I'm not one for the agenda but has anyone been on skysports.com tonight. Top story, United. Then Everton. Then cricket. Then Newcastle. We don't even get a mention

Agenda is a strong word and one that which some Manchester City fans struggle with.

The broadcasting media bias has been alive and kicking since 2008 when Shiehk Mansour took over. It started with ridicule "the 'project' yeah, like that's going to work". Then it was "It's okay spending all that money but the players have got to gel". Then it was "the Shiehk will get bored and sell up". Then it was "MCFC have bought the league with their ill-gotten oil money"

Somewhere in amongst that they branded our players as mercenaries. The media and other outlets will never credit our achievements the way they gush over the other clubs.

Manchester City are the only premier league club to finish in the top four every year since 2012. If we don't win the league we usually finish second but that's not good for the brand apparently.

The agenda, bias, bullshit; call it what you want isn't always what the media report it's often what they don't report.

The current narrative is everything the rags and dippers do is perfect and honorable and everything Manchester City does is tainted and ruined.
