The way bernado/ cavani race incidents were reported says a lot for me

Polar opposites from within about a 12 / 18 month period.........

In terms of the way the BBC production team portrayed our game yesterday compared to the way the Rag's v Dipper's game today was night and day.

For a start, they picked apart every decision that went in our favour, even showing lines on the pitch to make Jesus's goal look marginally offside. Not a sausage when Greenwood scored, even though he looked well off to me in real time. BBC didn't even note it. No mention of 'tactical fouls', and giving Pogbad MOTM was a joke.

I get your point, but that's exactly what it is mate (the name of the thread should be reverted back in my humble opinion).

If I am the sports editor at the Sun (yes I know), and I hold my daily / weekly staff meeting I am going to ensure that my remit (to sell newspapers / obtain clicks for my sports section) is very clearly drilled into my reporters and writers to find me the stories and opinions that will sell.

That in a nutshell is a clear agenda set out by myself.

What do we think the remit for the sports editor at The Mail or The Star or The Guardian is?

Exactly the same.

Negative City story + Positive United / Liverpool / Arsenal stories = lots of papers and clicks.

In short, I get to keep my job for another week at the paper..........

Much of the written and broadcast media tends to copy each other in many respects, such as one has a cooking competition or something like Love Island and they all come up with something similar but with football they do seem to collude with each other, carefully but there is something there.
I am convinced money changes hands along the line. Formal advertising is not cheap and promoting clubs as they do will be the same.
At least they won't be having a go at us tomorrow - too busy passing in the rags pocket.

I am just glad he found a flattering picture of me.

He used to he on the radio a bit and the Mirror used to occasionally use his Echo bullshit but not heard of him for a while tbf

You could literally get anyone in to do their job. So its beyond me why you'd pay more than £300k a year for 3 pundits doing 30 minutes a week

When Ian Cheeseman was first in bother something came out about David White in some way and it emerged that BBC at that time were paying guest summarisers just £35 per show.
