Don't know if usual "Manchester" reporter rag Dom McGuiness is on holiday but I notice the last couple of days they've drafted in well-known City sympathiser, Jamie Jackson. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, he comes across as a particularly ignorant sort of ale-house pundit.

What I find both hilarious and annoying in equal measure is the fact that they go on for ages AFTER a live commentary, telling their listeners that it was their commentary match.

Something like "And in the match between QPR and Liverpool, which was our live commentary game last Sunday, there were two own goals."

Why the fuck are they still promoting something that happened hours or even days ago?

They have been using him for quite a while now and I have noticed he doesn't have the balls to be so critical of City on air as he does in print.
 
Is this the same Jamie Jackson who was going on about City losing in Moscow last week, Here's me thinking it was a draw.
 
The problem is that they have 24 hrs a day to fill.

Once they have reported the facts it leaves about 50 minutes per hour on average to fill with:

speculation
lies
"banter"
playing Devil's advocate
provocative bullshit

and

adverts voiced over by "tough sounding" cockney types.

Who pretend to drink tea with 5 sugars, drive round in 8 year old ford transit vans and take a sharp intake of air through their teeth whenever they talk to pensioners.

Very good point. I think you should write to the Advertising Standards people.

Keep us informed please :-)
