Biased reporting of the PFA Shortlisting

Friday, April 16th, 2010

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.

Drown your sorrows! At least you should know how this lot operates.

Maradona helps out his Man Utd Pal!

Maradona gets the Chelsea players out of bed and into the cold by setting off the fire alarm in the hotel hours before the fixture at Old Trafford. Chelsea go on to lose 3-0, which I’m sure pleased Maradona’s countryman Tevez! Maradona of course is no stranger to cheating!

Curbishley wanted Man Utd to win?

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley refused to speak after Manchester United won 4-1 in a game pivotal to deciding the title. Assistant Mervyn Day played down comments which seemed to suggest the West Ham boss wanted Man United to win the league in preference to Chelsea.

“He felt Manchester United would be unlucky if they did not win the league, given they have been so dominant.”

I don’t think he said he wanted them to win.” Well he either did or didn’t - where there is smoke…..

“I know Alan thinks a lot of Sir Alex but that goes out the window when you cross the white line.” The Manager doesn’t cross the white line (assuming we mean the touchline of the pitch).
