I’ll just leave this one here without comment …

Premier League 2021-22: Mohamed Salah, Aaron Ramsdale & Declan Rice among your best players so far

No Ederson, no Cristiano Ronaldo, no Romelu Lukaku - but which players are in your Premier League team of the season so far?

www.bbc.co.uk

I don't really give a shit about this but I did complain to them about the scores that Raheem Sterling got in a particular match (the ratings from readers returned 4.75, the second worst of either team and where Bernardo scored 8.8 and Raz was nominated MOTM by Sky) because I pointed out to the BBC that it was not made clear that the scores were being manipulated and that their data collection wasn't picking it up. This was the pointless response ...

"We appreciate your feedback about the page on the Watford v
Manchester City match of 04 December.

Your concerns were noted.

This is where feedback such as yours is very much valued by the BBC as it tells us what users think we're getting right, and of course what they think we're getting wrong.

Please be assured that your concerns were sent to senior staff at BBC Sport via our daily report at the time."

I'm surprised the players and club aren't addressing this sort of negativity but they've probably come to the same conclusion that most City fans have - the BBC are irrelevant. This poll proves they are not interested in addressing online hate towards players (for whatever reason) or reporting standards nor want to listen to criticism of it.

Tariq Lamptey who has played 2 full league games all season? Shane fucking Duffy who has been dropped, and played 1 out of the last 7 league games? Tells you all you need to know about the validity of this team. Ruben Diaz and Joao Cancelo say hi from 35% less goals conceded (from 2 games more) and double the number of points. The filth and bile towards us from the written, tv and Internet media has a huge impact on shit like this. Let’s wait for the bbc manager of the season vote, little ole and rag nick can share the fucker

It appears to be the same 'voting' arrangement as that PL team, can't remember who it was, instigated a vote on their website for one of the change kits for the upcoming season. Well, every crap-hat 'n shithead voted for the most ludicrous option available and the idea was withdrawn - although MANUre seem to have followed it up with some choice change of kits. The BBC team of the season so far is just another instance where statistics are used and not understood because the instigators want a particular outcome, which is graphically displayed. Just more bullshit 'n bullshine from the nation's broadcaster. Wonder what John Reith would make of it?

they don’t care because it’s a soap opera

nevertheless from the BBC’s point of view they should be concerned because it makes THEM look stupid & unreliable.

I don't need to tell you but former Director-General of the BBC, John Reith, said famously that the corporation's mission should be to 'inform, educate and entertain'. Well. I suppose one out of three isn't bad if you consider that comedy is a form of entertainment!

I must say that when I saw the 'chosen' eleven I just guffawed, so perhaps it has fulfilled the notion of comedy! I wonder if Frankie Boyle was charged with sorting out the TotS?

Or is it? They employ Alan fucking Davies as a “comedian”?

SOCIAL GIANTS

United top of the (media hits) league table.

Neil Ashton working his PR magic again.

Probably include Red Cafe in that, and the Goldbridge YouTube channel.

Yep. All they have to do is add a clear disclaimer to the results pages saying the scores are not the opinion of the BBC. The problem from my perspective is that they validate them by using the highest score to award a MOTM and then go on to do this "team of the year so far" nonsense where one would expect there to be some representation from the team leading the table by a substantial margin.

2 questions

1. Do they count the people taking the piss out of them

2. Any idea when the parade will be.
