Why does the BBC web coverage of tonight’s game between the rags and Villa state: Dion Dublin - Former Manchester United striker on BBC One.
Have they conveniently forgot he played 10 times as many games for Villa?

Yep, BBC rag central

I think Dublin has conveniently forgotten. It’s climbing all those stairs?
the whole commentary is nauseating. I muted after the reference to ‘the gaffer’

 

[Chris in London]

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.

the problem with their team of the year is that City would put 5 or 6 past them

Seriously I have it on very good authority that in between his legs he is built like one.

I always knew he was a massive prick

Dion seems like a decent bloke to me to be honest and he wasn’t biased to either side. No issues.

I mean he played many more games for Cambridge,Coventry, Villa, Norwich and Leicester than he did for the scum.

Played about as many as he did at the Scum as he did for Celtic.

Might as well be Celtic.

Strange commentary tonight

no mention of the empty seats

no mention of how much the rags squad cost compared to Villa

unusual

 

[mike1923]

Also no mention from the commentators of how Shaw had made 7 fouls before he finally got booked

imagine Dinho making 6 fouls and not being booked, given that he invented and trademarked the tactical foul

Was watching something recently and Dublin was described as a manchester united legend! Anyhow here is the relevant appearances/goals for all his clubs.

Senior career*
Years	Team	Apps	(Gls)
1988	Norwich City	0	(0)
1988–1992	Cambridge United	156	(52)
1988	→ Barnet (loan)	1	(0)
1992–1994	Manchester United	12	(2)

Legend = 2 goals!

The BBC are fast descending to Daily Mail levels of click bait and utter fùcking nonsense. Guess that is what employing ex-united employees gets you at Media City!

Dublin is more of a Homes Under The Hammer Legend than a United Legend.

To be fair he’s scored more league goals for them than £100m squad fringe player Jadon Sancho

Might as well be Celtic.

But he got his cock flattered by the rags in the showers.

He'll always have an hard on for them

 

[Barcon]

Didn't even know he played for the filth. I always think of him as a Coventry player.

I’ll just leave this one here without comment …

Roma had more English players in starting XI vs Juve than Man City at Swindon

ROMA had more English players in their starting XI to face Juventus this weekend than Manchester City did at Swindon. Jose Mourinho’s men hosted Juve in Serie A on Sunday with three English s…

What a joke of an article, “Roma had MORE English players in their most recent match than Man City did vs Swindon”

We have a fantastic stream of academy talents coming through, besides the fact we have several first team English internationals. Most of whom were out because of Covid

I know the standard of journalism generally these days is terrible, and I’m not one to cry agenda, but why always us?
