Its not just with City.

There was nothing on the Monday morning about the leeds v liverpool game in the evening.

It happens often.

It really shouldn't though, to be fair we have a BIG game the scousers v Leeds was a midtable squabble at best.

It is really strange. When you consider all the possible angles such as Pep returning to Bayern, Haaland a former arch rival with Dortmund, the tactical battle between Pep and Tuchel or the revenge battle after the CL final Chelsea win, or the European Royalty v the New Money team, Leroy Sane etc, just the whole PL v German football angle. It is just bizarre to do a snide piece about Ederson. The Ederson article would be ok in isolation but the timing is indicative of biased judgement by the BBC. They did a short article about City's ground expansion yesterday and, unusually opened it up for comments. The thread consisted of hundreds of snide comments by fans about City's poor fanbase (the Emptyhad etc etc) but they were not edited by the staff in Salford. The BBC has abandoned any concept of fair, unbiased, coverage when it comes to City. A disgrace really considering we pay for it. There is a cultural problem within the online team.

To be fair they exhausted the Tuchel bollocks to death before the 1st leg.

But sadly it blew up in their faces yet AGAIN.

BBC North West Today briefly mention that City are playing Bayern tonight and then spend 5 minutes featuring Rochdale, Stockport County, Salford City, Bolton, Burnley, Blackpool and Wigan. The absolutely pathetic, jealous, agenda driven cunts.

I agree. Just think they're really inconsistent rather than it being a City thing.

What was an anti City thing was allowing comments on the stadium expansion and having it as the 2nd top story. They knew exactly what they were doing and got the attention they were looking for.

Sky and the Mail did the same thing.

People used to say it was because the pundits came from successful sides and represented them but that doesn't explain how the scousers get represented so heavily now that their success is historic and the rags aren't far short of them.

Yup, something more to it probably.

I thought the snide article about Ederson was Bardsley actually defending Eddie?

Dead right they knew what they were doing.
They're like the Jeremy Vine show on radio 2, drop in a subject and then shit stir it between 2 factions

Did you read the "snide" article about Ederson?

It's actually a long in-depth look at why the people who say he's performed badly this season are almost entirely wrong.

It is not just anti-City. It is inconsistent but pro United and LFC most of the time. The stadium expansion story placement was deliberate of course. There are some indviduals in the online operation who are incapable of being impartial and do not have proper journalstic experience for the role they are doing. They are doing a lot of damage to the already damaged repuation of the BBC. It is part of a broader cultural problem.
To be fair to the BBC there are plenty of dedicated and honest people who work there but they are drowned out by the public school banter boys who rule the roost. The whole organisation is in a crisis which threatens its entire existence. It is not just a simple left-wing/right-wing bias issue either. It is much deeper than just politics.

Yup. I had exactly the same thoughts reading the BBC today.

It's one thing that it isn't poluar for the large fanbases of lfc and utd... but it's another when they won't even cover it for City fans.

If we win anything this year I hope the team present a big fuck you poster for the media.
