Who the fuck is Dan Roan anyway?

Never heard of him if I'm honest.

You are Pep G and I claim my £10.

What is ‘sports washing’? Do they have to wash their kits more often? ;-)

it's like a very expensive car wash, except they queue up players and send them through for a scrub. The waxing and polishing hides and prevents ffp build up.

Just watching the 2014 LC win over Sunderland on Sly, after Ferna leaving there isn’t a single player of that team left at the club

So that’s why Jack has to wear his Alice Band? I see. Mmmm

There appears to be no Editorial control over Roan. He is allegedly the "Sports Editor for BBC News" whatever that means. He seems to flit around the world reporting things based on his own political prejudices. Today he has gone with a film crew to get 30 seconds of footage of the Newcastle United boss at a Pro-Am golf event.
Why isn't he in Switzerland covering the fraud trial of Platini and Blatter which opened today? This is the criminal case after CAS rejected Platini's appeal against his ban. So in this case CAS were the good guys. The media, especially the BBC, portrayed CAS as the bad guys when they cleared City and overturned our ban. Mind you I am sure Roan will get a nice lavish free lunch today at the Centurion Golf Club in Herts. Another example of the fearless journalism we have grown to expect from the BBC these days.

He certainly won't be behind Russian lines asking random genocidal maniacs what they think of Putin ruining Ukrainian football.

Another good friend Mr Roan of the impartial BBC joins in on the act:

Was the brief word 'fuck-off'?

Dan Roan - let me remind everyone what this 'cockroach' said after the death of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Roan was overheard saying: “The mistress who died in the crash … otherwise known as a member of staff … ie mistress.

“If you were a billionaire, it’s relatively expected, so we shouldn’t judge.”

The fact he wasn't instantly sacked for this gross statement tells you everything you need to know about him and his bosses.

That goal by Yaya, one of the best I’ve seen at Wembley. When it left his boot I turned to my brother asking him why he was shooting from there, I looked a bit stupid a split second later. Nazri straight after as well, Wembley went mental.

Was Roan's ban from the Etihad ever lifted?

He did a news report from the Etihad the night we won the league and he was stood at the very bottom of Joe Mercer Way near the car park ;)

Yeah, that was special. I was right behind the goal about 4 rows back watching the game though a sea of players when the ball came arching in like a missile. Absolutely stunning strike.
