Might as well change the headline to: "Anna has (7) pictures for you [500m]" and be done with it.Tweet

I've seen it done for games we've played before, but not all that recently. I can't remember seeing it when other big sides play the likes of Burnley.Did anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads? I have literally never seen this information presented during a match before; not even when Marine played Spurs at the weekend.
And Gary Neville (aka 'Dead to me') made some comment about one of our players costing as much as the Burnley XI.Did anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads?

The celebration complaints are odd. I hadn’t seen much of that before this week. It may be different for lower league players but it surely doesn’t really matter for top division players? They’re in their ‘elite sport bubbles’ or whatever they call it now.BBC have been covering last nights win all morning by mentioning we are top of the league for 2-3 seconds then talking for the entire rest of the slot about how hugging after the goal goes against social distancing rules.
EDIT that’s despite all the other PL games involving hugging after goals, which goes under the radar mysteriously
Agreed. We agree quite a lot now I think of it....can't wait for the Sancho train to start up againSorry if it goes against the narrative, but I think the media are very much excited by us doing well, and seem to be loving it. Maybe because it's setup the game on Sunday brilliantly well, and it'll change if we win, but right now? They seem to be enjoying Ole putting us top and in the title race.
I'd like to know when they have done that before. Did they cover the Burnley-City game?Did anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads?

Him saying that Shaw missed the ball and deserved to be sent off when he clearly touched the ball was the one that got me last night.And Gary Neville (aka 'Dead to me') made some comment about one of our players costing as much as the Burnley XI.
It's on, dealio will be doneio. Never in doubt mate.Agreed. We agree quite a lot now I think of it....can't wait for the Sancho train to start up again
The maguire handball one really annoyed me. As soon as he seen the replay is was 'hmmmmm'. feck off....it was nowhere near a pen. Yet when he seen the replay of their handball he didnt say a word.....very annoying.Him saying that Shaw missed the ball and deserved to be sent off when he clearly touched the ball was the one that got me last night.
We will rejoice soon enough, man.It's on, dealio will be doneio. Never in doubt mate.
I like Jadon but at the same time still wouldn't want Jack to go to City/Liverpool either, anywhere else I could live withIt's on, dealio will be doneio. Never in doubt mate.
No, if anything I found it quite interesting. Don't see what they've done wrong here.Did anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads?

Idiots who must have never played a game of football in their lives.The clowns on ESPN are claiming that Luke Shaw should have been a red card and not a peep about the Maguire header.
My YouTube is full of people talking about about us being title contenders.Sorry if it goes against the narrative, but I think the media are very much excited by us doing well, and seem to be loving it. Maybe because it's setup the game on Sunday brilliantly well, and it'll change if we win, but right now? They seem to be enjoying Ole putting us top and in the title race.
I did. I don't watch the scousers enough to know either way, but I'd be surprised if these little graphics pop up in their gamesDid anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads?

It took Klopp 4 years to get to this point, many people seem to forget that.I just love watching pundits like Merson and redknapp have to change their nonsense oversights from one polar stance to the opposite. Carragher saying to Keane “so you think Ole is the one”... well he at least needs the same time klopp and better managers got.
A bit like the 06/07 season when Rooney and Ronaldo started the season on fire, and we were a breath of fresh air compared to the tyranny of Chelsea.... then we won 3 in a row and went back to our rightful place as most hated team in the league.The press are praising us (to an extent) at the moment, they want to build us up so they can bring us back down to earth if it goes wrong.
Can't stand the media.
Yeah exactly. Their full of shite.A bit like the 06/07 season when Rooney and Ronaldo started the season on fire, and we were a breath of fresh air compared to the tyranny of Chelsea.... then we won 3 in a row and went back to our rightful place as most hated team in the league.
I feel the same anytime I see the host, Dan Thomas, on the screenI wish someone would punch Craig Burley.
Nor me I thought it was odd, filling time or something, then camera went on DVB and said as much has he cost! What it was all about I dont know , never seen it in a City game !Did anyone else groan a little when Sky put up their little graphic showing the comparative valuations of the Burnley and United squads?

I agree, it’s adds some excitement, if we lost and then lost Sunday and Liverpool started to run away with it then it wouldn’t be nearly as marketable. At the same time however it’s a great opportunity to give united a kicking to get those sweet sweet clicks.Sorry if it goes against the narrative, but I think the media are very much excited by us doing well, and seem to be loving it. Maybe because it's setup the game on Sunday brilliantly well, and it'll change if we win, but right now? They seem to be enjoying Ole putting us top and in the title race.
It's funny to see the argument between Steve Nichol and Shaka on the Shaw incident. Never thought a dipper would stand for us.I feel the same anytime I see the host, Dan Thomas, on the screen
The others have their biases due to their past clubs which I get but he's a special type of annoying and I'm not sure how the other panelists stand him at all.
Regarding this, it is only measurable if you know how many times they have done that before for other clubs. Have they done that with City this season? Or Liverpool?I think there's a lot to be said for not reading into a lot of the stuff being cited in here as ABU. Not everything is against us and I actually think a lot of people are rooting for us.
- Sky showing squad values is just facts, if you as a United fan don't want to accept that we have spent huge sums on players then you don't live in reality. I doubt City or Liverpool fans care they have spent big, difference is solely in silverware..
I guess we need some City or Pool fans to pipe up here as I don't watch any pre match coverage for them unless it's against us. I do remember Sky articles from previous season's outing Liverpool as biggest spenders on agent fees but you're right - if after the season ends it's only us they have compared in that way, then it is biased.Regarding this, it is only measurable if you know how many times they have done that before for other clubs. Have they done that with City this season? Or Liverpool?
If they have then fair enough, but I haven't seen it.
What was the relevance of it?No, if anything I found it quite interesting. Don't see what they've done wrong here.
I'm yet to see another example of Sky doing that. Can anyone share?What was the relevance of it?
Are we to see that everytime Burnley play one of the top sides? I doubt it.
I don't keep a record, and I don't watch Sky in particular, but I've seen this at least 100 times over the years. It's also extremely common for commertators to mention suff like that.I'm yet to see another example of Sky doing that. Can anyone share?
Just to do a comparison? Perhaps praising Burnley for holding their own for most the match when one of our subs is the price of their whole starting 11.What was the relevance of it?
Are we to see that everytime Burnley play one of the top sides? I doubt it.
