I thought he was at the Telegraph - have I got the wrong bloke?

Aah..the BBC..
Actually it was worse.yesterday when they first put the walker lockdown breaches 'article' up...they deliberately put it right next to marcus rashford Feeds the Country propoganda......
This Juxtaposition of two English manchester footballers off field activitoes...on the Football pages of the bbc..illustrate the power of the media .to influence our minds a certain way.utd is good City is bad.very bad.even if we have to drag up something that happened months ago to prove it.
They could of course just chosen to comment upon Walkers upgrade in form which has led to him being close to 50 caps for England,or remarked upon Rashfords inability to trap a bag of cement ,but that would be talking about football wouldnt,t it.....
The bbc ,we all agree on City..,are deceiptful,childish,snide and off point.
But.. some of us lap up everything else they say... on other matters as tho it was The Truth.

Me neither. Mine finishes next week.

It seems to have promised so much yet delivered so little - a complete opposite to the advertising blurb. Is that fair?

Guardian sport has no mention of Messi to City at all. The closest you get is small link to the "catch up" section right near the foot of the page with Sid Lowe "After Messi, Barca will never be the same" dated August 26th.

I am checking all outlets for info, many i never usually read and i am being reminded why. Independent is the same with the Telegraph just behind them in the gobshite stakes. The Times are the same as well.

The Independent are normally OK.

The Independent are normally OK.

Are we talking about the same paper that employs Delaney & Evans? Or is "OK" some sort of street slang for "bitter bastards" that I'm too old to know?

They tooK two weeks to correct Tony Evans’ barefaced lie that we had been fined €30m by CAS

Along the lines? Messi to City, sick

Think his father-in-law is a City fan, as I recall. Used to get on a coach to games from The Royal Oak in Didsbury. Maybe that's why he seemingly dislikes us so much!

The Independent are normally OK.

Checking their site regularly all morning they had no mention of it in the main footy section. There was a singular article 2/3rds of the way down their footy page tucked away under the european footy section. The main headlines were about the utd dutch chap and an opinion piece on arsenal + some dipper stuff. Not even a mention of the biggest transfer sage inthe history of the game. I would have thought it at least merrited more than what i saw, which was nowt unless you scrolled far enough down.

They have a couple of side articles now which is better than it was. I just get the slightest feeling if this was utd or liverpool there would be wall to wall coverage.
