I never said it was a surprise.

It’s blatant.

The pen is mightier than the sword" is a metonymic adage, created by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that the written word is more effective than violence (storming the press box on Sunday) as a means of social, political or football change.

And don’t we know that as City fans.

Politicians are just as bad, if not worse than journalists, when it comes to lying.

It's your life, but may I suggest that you maybe care too much about a headline some copy editor wrote who probably never even watched a match that involved two teams you don't support?

Off topic I know, but think this typifies the BBC. At the end of the Wales v Ireland rugby International on Saturday which Ireland won by 24 points, Gabby Yorath stated Ireland must be worried by their 2nd half performance. It was left to Martin Johnson to point out it was game management and Ireland had more gears to use if needed. Yoraths narrative made it sound like Ireland had clung to win by two points instead of maintaining their 24 point half time lead. There are at one and half million UK residents on the island of Ireland surely they are entitled to unbiased reporting. The BBC are agenda driven and will refuse to report what's in front of them if it doesn't suit their narrative. I have several times had a moan about radio 2 sports news at 8 30 am, but the classic example was City ladies easy cup win over the ragettes. The sooner the poxy BBC becomes subscription funded the better.

By referring to her as Yorath, a name she hasn’t been known by for a long time, it could look like you’re the one trying to push a narrative here. Are you honestly trying to suggest bbc sport is infiltrated by a pro-Welsh agenda? If so, fair enough, but it’s a new one on me.
My own view is that bbc football is the pits, the lowest of the low, but for other sports, and the organisation in general, on balance they do a decent job. Happy Valley, Six Nations, Would I Lie To You, Newsnight, a doc series on the history of hip hop music; Radio 1 Essential Mix; just off the top of my head some things I’ve really enjoyed in the last 2 weeks.
Edit. Oh and Silent Witness, and Norton, and Take A Hike ;-)

Super Sancho etc… seem to be the headlines tonight! Would that be the same if we drew 2-2 with Leeds at home?

Apart from Mike W, she was the only reason worth watching Sly Sports News. She even made Jim Shite look good looking.

Even in her later years on Sly, she could command an audience. Where dId they come from? ;-)

The massively disappointing big-money flop is now having a better season than Haaland etc etc etc

Sky reporting the Rags actually had a great result against Leeds, this against a team that had scored just 4 goals since the World Cup. Then lauded a Sancho goal that was fucking bad keeping but the commentator was jizzing himself. Ffs, the narrative is fucking sickening.

As we are all getting our books out, can we see how much Raggy & Dipper PR pay these jokers.

Everyday I feel like I’m reading “the emperor’s new clothes”

She is Welsh it could be as I suspect her personal opinion. That’s the major issue, bias in whatever format but for this one I’m going with good old fashioned ignorance.

I watched “the overlap” & I just wanted to say fair play for having a go to @twosips. You didn’t have all the answers, you wouldn’t be invited on if you did but you came over as a fan & managed to call them out for a few things. You said you all hate Man City & Neville was offended, nearly came out with some of my closest friends are blues. I’d have asked well would you be happy for City to be cleared & then we realise everything is ok & sporting merit decided it.

What I would recommend is brushing up on finances, you’ll be smashed with it every time so even if you find it boring you need to get it right so reach out to someone. It took balls & everyone is hammering you but you held your own.

Now I’d like to say to Neville you arrogant fucker. Saying that City must be fiddling as how else can they get higher revenue than Rags & Madrid without considering…..

Rags in his words have been absolute disgrace, leaking roof, shit training ground, poor recruitment etc etc

What makes him think the commercial dept is better?

Covid

Servicing debt

Not in the champs league

Onto Madrid & they aren’t in the EPL so you got City in the 2 highest paying comps & those only in 1.

If I’m not right no one’s questioning our recent accounts so stick your arrogance up your arse.
