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.

Or the pathetic debut dive by van de Beek in the penalty area. He's learning fast though.

Chalk and cheese mate. yesterday we witnessed insipid brown nosing of Liverpool and utd and their players and high praise for what was actually an average game with poor defending, compared to lots of negative comments on City, and clear disappointment when Cheltenham didnt win interspersed at the end with some fair praise of Foden, but not enough for him to be given the motm award.

YOUR COMPLAINT:

BBC Compliant BIAS, I doubt much will come back but all helps.

Why do you commentate on Man City and each game you show live make a reference to how much a player costs? Stangely enough Sky and BT do the same, almost like a media agenda. You also compare the cost of said defense being more than another team with Man City. You NEVER do this with other teams, but you ALWAYS do with Man City, I was just wondering why? It took you just 5 mins 42 seconds in the City game, all fans have cotton onto this ages ago. Why didn't you mention 90 mill VVD was injured in the Man Utd v Liverpool game? Why didn't you quote Pogba cost more than the Liverpool defence? The beauty was Cavani used his "experience" to win a free kick, not "That wasn't a free kick, he played that" like Danny Murphy mentioned against Man City 1 day before. This is coming from ex footballers! Shocking, absolute rubbish from the BBC and commentators. I feel the BBC need an audiance and you are playing to that. Absolute rubbish, garbish. I'd love to hear your reply!

''garbish'.....Are you Sean Connery?

This is absolutely right. Even in the MEN, if they were to run two identical stories about a potential transfer for Player A, but with one talking about United as the destination and the other talking about us, the former would get something like 7-10 times more hits as the latter. And the same applies to all papers, particularly the nationals. which are run by their SEO's (Search Engine Optimisation). It's simply comemrcial logic as the more hits you get, the more advertising revenue you get.

Even more so, the SEO's know that a story has has "Manchester United" in the headline as opposed to "Man Utd" will get significantly more hits, whereas it doesn't matter that much for us. And of course a negative story about us will attract both Liverpool & United fans, as the Liverpool Echo clearly knows.

However there is also a clear and deliberate attempt, particularly by the US-owned triumvirate who play in red, to discredit us wherever possible. With the rapprochement between the Saudis/UAE and Qatar, maybe the geo-political element of that will die down in time. This is the second and more insidious element of the negative media we constantly seem to get.

Nailed it.

I'll take that a little further. A City employee told me about the time, post a managerial press conference (might have been Mancini but it doesn't really matter) when they came across 4 journalists from the so-called 'red top' papers, all from different titles, discussing the line they were going to take in spinning something the manager had said.

And a senior club employee told me directly not that long ago that they know there is an organised agenda against us in the media and who's behind it.

Name and shame mate, who is it?

Romans avoid shock away defeat
It emerged late last night that the Romans have been accused of ruining ancient warfare and showing a complete lack of respect for the Britons.
Lining up the most expensive army in History, Emporer Claudius was still able to keep most of his key military personnel on the sidelines.
Key adversaries such as the Goths and Vandals have accused Claudius of reckless spending and financially doping the best legionnaires from Spain,Dalmatia and Morocco. In addition he has also been accused of ruining ancient warfare by the Greeks and Trojans who dominated for years.
The plucky Brits lead by Boudicca took a well deserved battle but the bald Claudius pulled off an undeserved victory with the Worlds most expensively assembled Army. Boudicca told a source that “ anyone could invade Europe with the money the Romans have but wait until the Senate money runs out” she further explained that Rome was a small state with no History.
After invading Gaul and Germania it is believed that invading Britannia didn’t count as they were all weak anyway.
Given the Human Rights abuse and obscene spending (the cavalry alone cost more than entire armies of the three conquered nations) moves are afoot to ban the Romans from future wars.
In an exclusive we can reveal that a secret meeting between key rivals including Vercinggetorix,Attila the Hun, Boudicca and Hannibal is likely to lead to the Romans being referred to CAW -Court for Arbitration in Warfare

I’m gutted to see this old chestnut regurgitated. Our owners have done nothing but good things for our club; for Manchester and for football in general.

I’ve emailed the club to ask why such articles continually go unchallenged

It might help if we all asked the club to explain. I know we can’t sue every paper as it would be an endless task but enough is enough

The ‘club’ aren’t arsed mate. I never even received an acknowledgment of my email below; Following the libellous tweet which I attached.
