Biased reporting of the PFA Shortlisting

We are aware that the media is biased towards Man Utd but it is seldom this obvious! The BBC website has the following article entitled: 

Man Utd striker Wayne Rooney shortlisted for PFA award

Further the article states:

“Rooney is joined on the four-man shortlist by Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea striker Didier Drogba and Manchester City ace Carlos Tevez.”

Implying Rooney was first on the list and the others were added to make up the numbers?

I cannot see the equavent aticle headlined by “Fabregas of mighty Arsenal shortlisted to win PFA award” or similarly biased pieces toward a particular player or team on the same website. So there it is the BBC are closet reds.

Didier Drogba Chelsea 2009/10

Needs to prey to be in with a chance with the media already on the side on Man Utd.

    It’s about the way it’s phrased though - biased.
    Phil McNulty is a giant manu fan - you only need to read his work
    to get that feel instantly. They are obviously trying to get back in Taggarts
    good books for upsetting him all those years ago!

  4. Scholes Says:

    Rooney is the best footballer in the wolrd!
