I really thought, and hoped, that when Labour came to power they would sort out the right wing bias at the BBC. Couldn't have been more wrong.

And England's tactics after the red card were pretty similar to Arsenal's a couple of years ago at City, apart from the criticism we got obviously.

That "I'm not racist but" line really winds me up. They think that by adding that to the start of a sentence, that somehow allows them to be as racist as they like.
