If Everton beat West Ham will the BBC do a top 7?

On one level, I don't really care that the Beeb journos are Man U obsessed. They clearly are though, and that is apparent to anyone who isn't a Man U supporter themselves (or those who just take any opportunity to have a go at us on here).
I don't care in footballing terms, because their opinions are irrelevant, but I do think it's sad on a different level. The BBC has a long and venerable history- in the pre-internet days it was often the best source of information for large parts of the world, and it's a shame for its standards to decline to the point where it too is becoming irrelevant.
I don't think there are dark forces at work, I just think it's laziness and lack of awareness (the same traits that make the London-based media find every detail associated with the capital fascinating whilst ignoring much of what goes on elsewhere).

It's the overall decline in their journalistic standards that I dislike and the lack of effort to be impartial and to look further than the ready-made stories on their doorstep- which is a significant part of their journalistic brief.
Having said that- it's only their sports department, and not very important anyway.

Whenever I criticise them it's usually for their poor grammar and spelling- a subject what is deer to my hart.

Does anyone recall the BBC being biased towards London based teams (or where ever they were based if not London) prior to them moving to Manchester?

I think there will always be some bias towards where they're based, its only natural that the reporters working there are mostly local based people that have a bigger interest in their local sides.

But, they are not "local" to anyone or any place in particular, they're the British Broadcasting Corporation funded by licence payers from Britain, local papers and local radio stations ok but not the corporation's website.
They pride themselves for being even handed when reporting politics etc, the same should apply to their football section.
Alternatively they could have a separate website especially for the benefit of the club over the road to keep them happy while they're sitting on their arses doing **** all in their Salford offices.:emoticon-0100-smile

"So far Jurgen Klopp has got his tactics spot on. Although this hasn't really been great football by Liverpool - it's more about the mistakes made by Manchester City.

That's because the ****s only gave preference to City by using Radio Manchester and their commentary team to assess the game, the match was also covered by Radio Merseyside and their assessor Jimmy Case who was more honest and less biased about the game than Paul Lake.

<whistle>

Shut up Page. Anyone with the gift of sight can see the BBC is biased towards Liverpool. Now this is largely due to most of your ex players being to rubbish to continue in the sport so Liverpool promoting agencies like Sky and the BBC hire almost all your players from a time gone by.

Well... Were you playing great football or were you playing intelligent football?

You're clearly getting mixed between their TV Sports dept and their website colleagues at Salford.

BTW, time has gone by since man u were successful, the Nevilles, Scholes, Keane, Ferdinand etc are also all from a time gone by.

Are your days so empty that you have to fill them by scouring the BBC Sport website looking for imaginary reasons to be offended and outraged?
