Two clubmates playing against each other, especially two well known for playing exceptionally well in tandem with each other, in the final is a legitimate point of interest, and Salah and Mane are two of very few players to have competed in the tournament that your average BBC Football reader will have ever heard of. I never see the point of inventing a pro-Liverpool bias where there isn't one. There are so many genuine examples to point to that it is a waste of energy.

I never see the point of inventing a pro-Liverpool bias where there isn't one. There are so many genuine examples to point to that it is a waste of energy. Well perhaps, it brings up the point of whether 10-15 years ago the BBC referred to teams as "Drogba's Ivory Coast", "Essien's Ghana" and "Mikel's Nigeria" in the same way? Of course editorial team and outlook may different since then, but I wonder? I just googled it and there is a line in a BBC article from 2020 about the Togo team bus attack in 2010 that says: "Drogba's Ivory Coast and Michael Essien's Ghana were drawn in the same pool." Perhaps I was too hasty! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chara Report post Posted February 4 Away from the present theme here (and you can never be "Too Hasty " CM!)...tipping my hat to "Innocent Until Proved Guilty" but I can't help comparing the media handling of JT to the High Courts for a "lip reading" accusation during a particularly brutal game ...not making light of any issue ... to the two ( add one other !) Manchester based players accused of real sickening abusive criminal behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of the hate towards JT is from rival fans who are finding something to stick the knife in with, grasping for straws, jealous their teams didn't have John Terrys of their own.
