On the bbc - today, 3rd Septmber 2022

Jack Grealish, who moved to City from Villa in a British record £100m transfer in the summer of 2021, is also a substitute after missing three games through injury.

100million. Still. FFS. Fuck off BBC.

TBF, that is purely factual.

I left a couple of comments on Twitter not that it will make any difference I just don’t want him injured. He’s only young hope he’s made of steel

Vibranium I believe.

TBF, that is purely factual.

But not the norm when commenting on the vast majority of players from other clubs in other games.

That might be because none of them a the current British transfer record holder

It is , and as it’s Villa , entirely understandable.

Whether 85m Nunez is mentioned if Liverpool play Benfica in the CL?
Or 75m Dick van dyke is mentioned playing Southampton

Is never a doubt on not happening

But there is only one record British fee though, if/when someone surpasses it and they don't continue using it, then you'd have a point.

Openly advocating for a player to injure Haaland.

Classy.

The 'How do you stop Haaland?' theme is developing and the BBC started it.

Keown is continuing the narrative started on last week's MOTD. Lineker asked Ashley Williams: "How do you stop Haaland?", and he replied, half-jokingly, "I would make a red card challenge".

I don't remember any pundit saying the same about Kane or Salah, and if they did there's no way BBC sport would tweet about it.

Does "bringing the game into disrepute" not apply to those in the media?

There's no analysis of how to stop other teams generally only City.
