Disco Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 OK, apparently it's not Harry Potter. It's worth watching just because I hadn't realised how posh he is. Was having a bit sly deeks at the matchday programme while the Irish lass next to me was reading it and his thing to take when stranded on a desert island would be a magic set n all. Probably only moved up here to live near Paul Daniels ancestoral home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Garth Crooks has two Man United defenders in his team of the week, despite them conceding three goals and it has a midfield of Ryan Giggs on his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect I can guess which 4 games Garth Crooks watched at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main story is how 'Harry' may not be able to make the game tonight due to problems at London Airport.... Who gives a fuck?! EDIT: Oh, confirmed. Breaking News. Harry won't make it now.

That won't stop the BBC in their quest to get Mike Ashley's adverts in as many football articles as possible. Good result for West Ham at Upton Park this weekend though, wherever that is.

JCONA Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have too like, got this stock response Thank you for contacting us about the reference to the Sports Direct Arena in our programmes. We acknowledge the controversial nature of the new name for the Newcastle United football ground. As of the 10 November, the Sports Direct Arena became the official name for the ground as chosen by the club. It is not the BBC's place, as an impartial public broadcaster to decide or debate on whether this is correct or not, rather to report on the matches which take place on the field. By changing the way we display the graphics or refer to the ground on our programmes ensures consistency with every other ground which has a sponsor, be it new grounds that came with a sponsor like the Emirates, or old grounds that have changed their names like Bradford City’s Coral Windows Stadium (formerly Valley Parade). We'd also like to assure you that we've registered your complaint on our Audience Log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that’s made available to all BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive board, channel controllers and other senior managers. The Audience Logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions on future BBC programmes and content. Once again, thank you for contacting us.

Wullie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Completely talking out their arse as far as the Olympics goes - and they know that for a fact, hence the change to the name of Coventry's ground. Some serious agendas deep in the BBC regarding St James' Park imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So we'll forget that we've done exactly what we said we're not 'allowed' to do for another stadium in the same sentence. Righto. Would seem such a petty thing to outsiders but it is right annoying. Coral Windows Stadium? Really? I feel grateful for Sports Direct Arena now tbh.

wormy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Really? We need to find an article with 'Valley Parade' used so Static can pass it on in a reply.
