In the middle of the article it clearly mentions Gross and Button failing to stop the goal by the imperious Rashford.
What more do you want?!

[Albion] Press coverage/"Big 6" bias - new low?

Blimey, if you're going to pick on every fan who refers to the Albion in the third person then you've got an awful lot of quoting and posting to do!
And long may it continue. Stadium sold out every week. Rubbish news papers have never heard of us. Nobody is phoning 606 calling for the head of the manager, or crying about how this 'once great club' is still a Big club, and 'I'm crying now'. We are not in the top 6 list of anything (goals conceded, points lost, being shit). Fans smirking. Sssssssssh!
Would you really ever say "they're 13th" when talking about our league position?

Chris Hoy nailed it about talking in the 3rd person. He was asked, What does Chris Hoy think about Chris Hoy?
"Chris Hoy thinks that the day Chris Hoy refers to Chris Hoy in the third person is the day that Chris Hoy disappears up his own a***"

Every Monday the Guardian has a brief comment on each premier league match over the weekend. Today's about our match was all about us and our chances of staying up, how WELL we had done against Liverpool and Manure, how we should be able to gather points in our next games, and how difficult we are to play against!

On a sort of similar note...wanted to know the Bolton-West Brom score tonight. I get that it's not the CL final but it was the only league game in England, WBA going for promotion, both former Prem, only a division below The Greatest Competition in the World etc etc.
I counted three tennis stories before you even found out the score. No mention of a match report. But minute by minute top story updates for Huddersfield v Citeh. Seems disproportionate.

I was talking about “Brighton” as if objectively and not as a fan thus “they’re 13th” , and so on not “Albion” or “we’re”.

You’re a Spurs fan Paul - it’s been clear for a long time.

I’ve been reading Red Cafe (United’s fans forum) and their post match comments. The majority of the posts were fair and balanced. Described us as an awkward side, never give up, hard to beat, disciplined, their (MU’s) bogey side, thuggish(!), and many more grudging compliments. Their views on Man Utd were also interesting - that the team ran out of steam on 60 minutes, did not know how to contain us after we scored, should have put the game to bed just after halftime, and were very nervous that we would equalise, the last 20 minutes they reckoned we had 66% of possession, and that Hughton substitutions worked and theirs didn’t.

If you want to know what the early editions say about the Albion, I think you'll find that the club is now providing a service.
