Talksport

The set up is very comical, and all done on the cheap (remember the World cup one where they were in the studio pretending to be at the game) most of the presenters and pundits have a dodgy past (with some so dodgy that they could not get near a main stream station) it's like the last chance saloon for quite a few they must pay them peanuts, I also question the advertising of so many products for the building trade out of the 100's of building sites I visit each year I have never heard it on (not many allow radios nowadays anyway) but we all know the modus operandi make an outrageous statement (the more outrageous the better) target it at a team where you know the fans are going to bite (Arsenal are a classic example) go light on Clubs like United in fact try and say positive things even when it's patently ridiculous to do so (Those Sky subscriptions won't sell themselves you know)

I have listened to quite a bit of it this season, and if you take it for what it is and don't bite it's almost bearable

It's even better if you don't listen at all :-)

Complete clowns. Pep's a failure if he doesn't win the CL over a 3 year contract but Fergiescum is the best ever after winning 2 during 26 years at Manure....

There's a similar point to be made about an article in the Telegraph, headlined something like 'Can Sterling be the saviour of English football"? As with Talksport, it replaces thinly veiled digs with gushing praise coupled with unrealistic expectations.

That said, I don't think that's specifically an anti-City thing, I think that's just the media generally. Think of the number of times that England have departed to a major tournament with a decent squad (that you'd expect to get to the quarter finals but probably not beyond) but with the tabloids saying that they are world beaters and we expect them to win the tournament with something to spare.

We live in an age of hyperbole and extremes.
Remember when people were ‘fans of' or 'enthusiastic about' something? Now you can be nothing less than 'passionate' or you’re really not serious.
Remember when people were 'ambitious' or were 'hoping to achieve' something , now you have to 'own it' , ‘ nail it' ,or 'smash it'!
This is just reflected in (or engendered by) the popular media - Sterling ( or for that matter Rashford ,or young Winks at spuds) can’t just be a serious prospect for improving England’s potential, they have to be 'saviours' or 'the future of'.
When these so-called journalists start berating top clubs (such as...well, us)for not giving young English players game time,they should maybe look a little closer to home at the unwarranted pressure they heap on these boys when they do.
They aren’t really bothered about sacrificing these kids’ careers on the altar of their own hyperbole in pursuit of revenues.

but Slur Alex did it by promoting youth from within and by not spending a single penny in the transfer market you see.
