Keown says 'City are anchored in the bottom half of the table' Talk about being negative.

Ole shifts the Balance

Guardiola languishes in the bottom half of the table,whilst Ole’s revival skills prepare Manchester United to retake the City bragging rights.


Liverpool beat Sheffield United in a rightfully emotional Anfield still in shock from losing their inspirational captain.

Marcus Rashford on BBC Breakfast for the SIXTH successive day this time as the lead item. 2000 doctors including eminent paediatricians are giving their professional opinion and concerns on child hunger. Even Conservative councils and MPs are saying the government decision is wrong. They are NOT following a footballer. They are doing their jobs.

The BBCs pictures include one of him on the pitch with a spray of sweat around him like a halo on the saintly figure they are painting him to be on and off the pitch.

And once they given the headlines and lots of red and white pics the programme gets down to the serious business of dealing with the matter.

No escaping him in on Radio 4 either
Insufficient vredit to the councils, supermarkets, restaurants etc for doing their bit in actually providing the food. Lots pulling together but a bit disappointed Liverpool is doing something and not Manchester.

While I understand the irritation of the media's love affair with Manchester United, not everything associated with them that appears on the BBC News should be seen as a bad thing or a slight on our club. I get that we are treated shabbily compared to some other clubs, but there are wider issues at stake here.

The BBC is run by privileged individuals who have come through the private education system & whose political editors are Tories. Our government is happy to live in a country with 4 million children living in poverty as long as its MPs & their friends & donors can continue to live a life of luxury.

It's precisely because Rashford plays for MU (& England) that his campaign is newsworthy & being reported on the BBC shows this government up for being the self-serving, uncaring bastards they are; something the BBC is reluctant to do.

Rashford has a platform. His status as a top profile footballer means he has admirers across the political spectrum. He's already shamed the government into paying for school meals once for those who are going hungry. He knows what it means because unlike most of us he went through it himself.

This is one occasion when being affiliated with MU & appearing on the BBC is actually a very good thing!

Yep, every shit scouse performance and defeat will no doubt get a Van Dijk mention somewhere in the story. Imagine if they had eight first team players missing, they'd try and get the league halted.

Yep, anyone who complains about Rashford doing this is a ****, pure and simple. Sorry but it's true and ironically, they're being as self centered and selfish as they claim he is.
