I wonder if the lack of City coverage of this pre-season might be connected with the fact that they went on tour much later than everyone else... makes sense to get people out reporting than at home waiting for a team to go off and play twice in the US.... Just a thought not a defence but it makes sense.

We must have all dreamed the game or BBC's finest are all tuck up in bed under their gigsy duvets.

That’s their Summer Duvet, the big thick Winter one is the Jimmy Saville version.

We’ve only had two pre-season friendlies! The other one was covered too, btw.

You had to navigate the the City page to find that. It wasn't on the BBC football page at all and the Bayern score/report wasn't up for 4 hours until after the game ended.

Do you really think the BBC treat City without bias? They have sent Stone, the supposed Manchester correspondent, thousands of miles to cover all things United with live reporting from their friendlies and stacks of incidental content, and City seem to get a begrudging score check and minimal report when they can be arsed doing it. It's pathetic.

It’s a pity we can’t write to Barry Took about the BBCs football coverage!

One for the older City fans.

Fair enough I didn't see that post, it must have been near the top of their page for about 10 seconds.

Are you implying we get the same coverage as utd Ric when you defend the BBC?

To me it looks like he is merely correcting the mis-information you posted and isn't implying anything!

 

[Pollocksheader]

Do you want the same coverage united get?

I always found it nauseating.

There’s an in between, I for one don’t want more coverage than required, just a balanced one for all but we know that won’t take place. It can’t be denied the coverage of our last two games are much less than united and liverpools, that’s without question.

Radio 4 “Points of View” letters read out in plummy voices with Barry’s caustic wit assessing the content, used to love that.

This is another strawman argument. I have never said this. Some were claiming that the BBC hadn’t covered last nights game though, or our previous friendly. I just pointed out that this wasn’t true. We’re heading into Trumpian territory if people are taking exception to that.

They did a post match report for last night's game but they clearly didn't send a reporter. That article was the equivalent of doing your homework on the bus to school while asking your mates what they had written

If Trump was a City supporter he would have led a march over to Salford long ago to shake those fuckers up a bit.
