Does anyone actually know what he did and to whom? I guess nothing criminal as there's been no charges brought.

Stelling is a good man and excellent broadcaster (or at least he was), but as a fan of lowly Hartlepool he’s always been somewhat detached from the fiercest rivalries in football and has expressed his own disdain for that side of the game on numerous occasions. The reception for Judas on his return was so widely covered and anticipated that those in the media who wanted to virtue signal or put across a case in defence of Campbell had plenty of time to draft their hand-wringing monologues criticising the reception. It wasn’t just Stelling. That back then it was quite ordinary for Sky to overlook the NLD and Merseyside derby for live coverage is a sign of just how detached they were from the intensity of local rivalries.
Well they only got 1 or 2 games a week and one of those had to be Man Utd.

Saw a headline without reading the article which mentioned sending a dick pic and asking for bikini photos
If he'd sent an actual dick-pick or similar photo, it would have been a criminal offence. My reading of the issue is that the BBC was made aware of his "flirty" texts to younger female members of staff and saw them as a potential abuse of his position, i.e. the BBC acted as they should have done in the earlier case of Huw Edwards.

Just seen that it was a separate allegation from a woman, not at the BBC.

McCoist on TS says he thinks we will finish 5th and outside of city arsenal Liverpool we have as good a chance as any to win a cup under Ange with the right draw

Fair assessment. It appears like there is a top 3 in City, Liverpool and Arsenal (🤢) who are clear of the rest, with several clubs including ourselves fighting for that 4th spot.

Would be bloody lovely if we can compete for the cups this season.

The commentators were talking about UTD as the camera was flicking to area's of the crowd. They settled on a guy surrounded by empty seats and the commentator remarked "he's lost the match and all his friends by the looks of it".

BBC:

From the first whistle, Spurs were all over United like a rash :D, the tone set in the third minute when the magnificent Micky van de Ven raced like a white flash from inside his own half, leaving a succession of United players in his slipstream before setting up Brennan Johnson's simple finish.

United started dreadfully and went into a rapid decline, somehow surviving until half-time as Spurs carved them open on countless occasions but could not add a second.

Ten Hag claimed the red card shown to captain Bruno Fernandes three minutes before half-time "changed the game". It did not. United's manager is deluding only himself if he believes this. It made United's task even harder, but Spurs were threatening to run riot even before Fernandes' dismissal.

If it was decided to stage a world straw-clutching championship, Ten Hag would have a good chance of winning with that one :LOL:

Phil Mcnulty:

Tottenham produced a magnificent display to outclass 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford and pile renewed pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

Spurs, even without injured Son Heung-min, tore Manchester United apart as they set the platform for victory with a first-half masterclass, the only mystery being how they only had Brennan Johnson's third-minute goal to show for their overwhelming dominance.
