So we've been the media's team ever since that aeroplane crashed have we?..Jeeeeeze..there's nowt much I can say about that....except there must be an awful lot of very very old journalists out there.

The only reason U could have been pissed of at the "bias" commentary was because of the pain at seeing your team RIPPED APART in the 1st half. It's gonna be a long day before the Lions are afraid of the Zebras....as overheard on the Manchester Metro yesterday.

No LR; not sour grapes at all. We were beaten fair and square by a much better team. I really wouldn't expect you to admit to the fact that the media have been in love with Manchester United since 1958 but you know it's true, as sure as Keane is a thug.

Ok...so when the Daily Mirror spent a whole season shagging us in their rag cos we didn't do the FA Cup..and then ripped us apart while in Brazil...were they just being coy?

Selective or BAD memeories mate. Simple as that. Anyway...bottom line is this...who give's a shite?..Really....who cares? What if it were 100% true, that since 1958 Man Yew have been the media darlings?..Doesn't effect yer pitch performance does it.

Dream on..find any excuse that you will to continue the resentment...It's nice.

Keane a thug?..Oh aye..he looked the part yesterday didn't he.

(Excuse my language everyone else)

You really are an obnoxious piece of shite aren't you? The Mirror spent a little while slagging off Manchester United for not taking part in the cup. Other than that, the very same rag has been the number one culprit, you tit.

As usual, you miss or should I say evade the point. I know, as does everyone else on here that Manchester United are an awful lot better than us. What the hell has that got to do with the original point I made about the media though? Yes they're a good team - happy? Better than Newcastle United - ecstatic? Now grow up you puerile wanker and support YOUR LOCAL TEAM.

Support your local team......and U tell me to grow up...U cry on the telly and now you cry because of YOUR perception that the media LOVE us and hate...well...hate everyone else. The media huh......let's get this straight.....ONE journalist or ONE commentator tells a story as HE sees it and because it doesn't fall into line with your own ideas, you spit the dummy....lol...Oh boy....

I hope that wasn't you getting annoyed when you levelled the "Support your local team" at me....wanna tell me what MY local team is ya clever sod?.....or why I should support them?

This is sooooooooooooo funny...one rattled Geordie. Out-played on the park...he sees the inadequecies in his own side and 'cos Roy the Thug behaved, David the Kid didn't stamp around, the ref played a good game etc etc you have to find something else to MOAN about....lol....and they call US whingers and bad losers??

Face it...does it REALLY matter what Tildsley or Gray or any Daiyl Mirror journo says while yer losing two nil?

Andy, do you ever get bored of this? Either your wife isn't getting enough attention or your girlfriend isn't or something like that. The facts of life are (took a while to learn) commentary, newspapers etc, are a waste of time. So what, we lost. Isn't there something more constructive to talk about? Win lose or draw this is very silly really isn't it?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I much preferred LR from the previous BBS.

Well according to your little glossary, you are from Dunfermline (nice strip) but live in Warwickshire. If that were me sunshine, I'd be going to see Birmingham City or Aston Villa or West Bromwich Albion or anybody a bit closer to home. After all the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford isn't exactly local now is it?

If you can't work out why one should follow their local team, then I won't waste any further time today, trying to get through your moronic skull.

Glory hunting tosser. Just like the rest of them.
