There's a nice simplicity to the statement.

“The BBC apologises to fans offended by this”. By their statement? Or the fact Manchester United ARE rubbish?

Strange that they’ve apologised. They’re not going to lose a libel suit for that.

As true as it currently is, it's really weird that stuff like that can reach the actual broadcast.

A lot of other top teams have been rubbish but you don't run this as a headline or not make statements. Not sure why people are surprised at the apology.

We are rubbish so I'm not arsed about it. Although it's not a very professional look from the BBCs point of view

People are actually winning titles. Who gets on the ticker tape? We do. We are still relevant guys. I take it as a win.

I thought calling a spade a spade was a banned expression, due to some spades actually preferring to be recognised as flat shovels.
