Fucking sky sports news. One big rag advert every fucking day. And that's with the sound off and not even watching it. I mean fucking hell, been showing their goals from 20 fucking years ago in their 'rag piece pre-match. Then we the Rashford fucking petition (good on the lad) popping in every 20 mins. Fuckoff bastards, i'm glad i nick your 'product'

It's the yellow card conversations that annoy me, every single possible yellow card and they make it a talking point for City. Yet the same can happen for the opposition, in the same game and they barely mention the incident. So it's not even just United/LIverpool bias, it's anti-City bias.

Noticed BT trotting out the "City spent £400m on defenders" for the thousandth time on Tuesday, along with "they paid £60m for Cancelo to sit on the bench" for no apparent reason. Cancelo was £58m, wasn't he? Not to mention the Danilo fee was key to that transfer, which they wouldn't ignore for the rags or Liverpool(net spend la). They were just waffling before it, because City happened to be winning comfortably, which they hate. They can never focus in those games and have to find something to be negative about. BT are worse than Sky and the BBC are worse than them both, that's how bad our TV coverage is in this country.

He said he wanted the old players back then listed Pep as well as Iniesta, Puyol and some others. Sky have managed to twist his words in record time and now they're gospel.

Manager in last year of contract gets linked with moving back to old club. Shock horror. One way to put an end to these stories. Sign a new contract.

Many years ago I heard the great newspaper man and editor Harold Evans being interviewed, during which he commented on recent trends in news gathering in general. He said that the problem with the new breed of journalists being brought into the media was that ‘they find it easier to sound off rather than find out..’

Apply that observation to our latest crop of sports ‘journalists’ (step forward Delaney, Roan et al..) and it sums up their modus operandi.

’Be partial.. and don’t let the numbers/facts/truth get in the way of a chance to create click-bait’ is how these people work. They should be ashamed of stealing livings in the way that they do.
 
Before I believe anything in the papers. I would really like to read it in at less 3 different papers. One from either something along the lines of the Times of the Guardian, then either the Daily Express or the Mirror. Then either the Sun or the Star.

Really? Those are all the ones that went after Stirling, the daily mail as well. The better sources are on twitter, the papers have to print something every day, they know nothing

Since he's promised to never play (some of) them again they are their fringe players. It just shows what a piss poor squad depth they've got.

Why are you complaining?

Only 4 of those players started the Spurs-United, 2 of them played Spurs-Burnley, 3 played Spurs-West Ham.

They put out a second string at best. 3rd or 4th choice in some positions.
 
Sky sports news this morning...STILL talking about Van Dijk injury as one of their leading stories 2 weeks after the incident.

There's 6 at least who couldn't be classed as fringe along with the second coming of Bale....we'd be castigated for having spent a fortune on a big squad that can't perform.

Has he had the op? There wont be a great deal to say about him other than woke up had breakfast etc
Oh of course that the world is managing without his great leadership.
The other great hero's name mentioned a lot on BBC Breakfast of course to introduce a clip from Stockport where nobody mentioned him, just ordinary people who volunteer to feed and look after kids all the time. Best of all happy kids and adults appreciating what is being done with the kids doing it very eloquently.

Spurs haven’t spent a fortune though and that’s reflected in their squad. They have a very good forward line, but that’s about it.
