You’d have to be f***ing stupid and thick as pig shi* not to know the Rags have got all the football media on their side in this country.

Call it the largest support, Internet clicks, or just doing deals with the football media behind closed doors, the Rags have well and truly cornered the football media market in this country.

BBC United-Mediacity, Sly Sports Football/News, BT Football, Talk Shite, the MUEN, the Daily United, the Express, the Sun, the Mirror, all the other papers, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Influencers, Internet Bots, etc, etc. The list is endless.

Don't think we could have any complaints about the BT coverage of last night's game. Two former City title winners in the studio and Robbie Savage waxing lyrical on City's performance during the commentary. However I think I'd be looking at it a bit differently if I was a West Brom fan.

Amazon sent me an email regarding their coverage over Xmas and this was one of the things I highlighted, there’s more than 5/6 clubs in the PL and it’s about time they all were accommodated for in regards to pundits.
We rightly kick off having Neville and Carragher or Rio and Owen or Macmanaman doing our games, if you was a wba fan seeing two ex city but also ex wolves and Villa players I’d guess you’d be pissed off too.

But Barry and Lescott played for both clubs

BBC headline today after the MU defeat last night - "Man Utd disgusted by racial abuse of Tuanzebe and Martial".

First - racial abuse of anyone, even Utd players, is bang out of order and is disgusting the perpetrators should be banned for life and is possible face criminal charges.
Secondly - this looks like a deflection from last nights defeat and making them out to be victims and deserving of sympathy.
Thirdly - no mention of what the abuse was or who the abuse is from.

Now I have no idea which set of fans this abuase would be from but I imagine Sheffield fans were all giddy and happy after last nights victory (I was as well) but I imagine Utd fans might have been in a bad mood and looking for scapegoats. So in a story to make you feel sorry the Utd the most likely perpetrators are likely to be amongst those that follow Utd (unless it was Chelsea again)

I'm not doubting the existence of the racially abusive tweet. I just wouldn't put it past such a vile club as to them 'manufacturing' this particular story to take the heat off their defeat. It's the kind of shithouse thing they would do using a fake Twitter account to drum up publicity, and I'm sure they're not the only club using these kind of tactics.

This 100 percent. The red istree clubs are devious bastards with no shame or morals.

We know that – it doesn't matter who posted it, it's disgraceful... but the press are loving it as it's distracted everyone from a woeful performance and result.
A more cynical person may even suggest these posts could be 'planted' on social media for just such a reason.

As well as that, if it happened at an unfavoured club, they wouldn't omit that the source was from within their own fanbase as they have so far. They'd use it in the headline and centre the story around it.

Not on the bulletin just before 0900 either.
Here is the News. There is none - due to unforeseen circumstances.

No sign of any goal highlights on 'NWest Tonight' either.. just the Everton and Burnley games.. Mind, they were probably short of time for the sports bulletin given that it was on with barely 10-12 minutes of the programme left.. But I was so looking forward to seeing their first class performance in once again scaling the summit of the Premier League.. there had been such excitement created by the build up to this much anticipated event yesterday.. heads should roll for such an omission..
 
In a battle of United vs Liverpool who would the media favour? Or is it dependent on circumstances? Or would it be some favour United and others Liverpool?

The actual frame they used when drawing the lines was also mostly in WBA's favour too as it was when the ball was leaving Cancelo's foot for the pass to Bernie
