What has gone wrong with the Evening News? Would never believe it is the local paper. City are going into arguably the biggest two weeks in the club's history and they are writing articles that can only be described as destabilising

It is one of the worst performing newspapers in the UK (in a declining industry) . The main reason is that it has lost touch with its local audience and advertising base. It is hated as much by the Rags as City fans. It seems happier to attract clicks to its website from football fanboys in Asia and the USA than to listen to its local customers. That's a recipe for commercial disaster.
 
The Liverpool game is now sold out according to the OS
Think I will turn on Talk Sport for their half hour discussion on our fantastic fan base and how our tickets have sold like hot cakes.
just going to get some food in as i may be a while.

If you know they talk absolute rubbish in general and about us why would you tune in?

Not a dig but everyone moans about how talk sport is all made up, trolling, click bait garbage yet people still listen to it and report back on what they have said.

You are missing the sarcasm Frank
I am not reporting what they have said, just joking about what they won't say.

And that's always accompanied by someone moaning that someone has made a choice to listen to a radio station.

I like to know what people are saying about us. Good and bad, factual and made up.

Then the cycle continues. Talk sport speak crap, get good listening figures, so carry on speaking crap. If everyone is happy listening to that, why do we have people moaning about it?

Because it's a forum to discuss football and Manchester City. If people want to stop listening good luck to them. If people want to listen and then moan about it good luck to them.

I like to hear what people say about us. And I couldn't care less if it continues an imaginary cycle as I am capable of making a choice of listening to it or not.
 
Seriously, you're about nine million points ahead of everyone. You're very likely to break all kinds of records. Stop moaning and start enjoying it

Not sure its imaginary. Its long been established the more viewers and listeners, more advertisement revenues an organisation receives, more revenue ad therefore more likely to continue with the same content.

Also it could be argued the more popular it is, the more it influences peoples view and more the false narrative is spread.

You are quite correct everyone can make their own choice but then we cannot expect things to change in the quality or accuracy of reporting.

Absolutely correct Frank. Consequently, I do my bit by not buying a newspaper, listen to Talkshite or listen to commentary on any match on TV much prefer silence to the crap they churn out.
 
We really are such a bunch of mard-arse, easily offended wallflowers. For Christ's sake, get a fucking grip. It doesn't matter a fucking jot whether we get lauded to the heavens, or pilloried to Hades, the team will do what it does on the pitch irrespective of this tittle-tattle or this/that article saying we've only sold one ticket for our next game. Boo fucking hoo, they love Unitd, they love Liverpool, they forget we won the League Cup in 1970; we had 30,000 in Div 3. NOBODY CARES. Least of all the good ol' Sheik and Pep. And, thank fuck they don't. But wait, here's a piece in the Mail saying Pogba's better than Silva. Let's have a collective heart attack. Give me Brian Clark any fucking day.

Boo fucking hoo; they hate United and they hate Liverpool. They bang on about how we won the League Cup in 1970 and had 30,000 in Div 3. NOBODY CARES! Least of all the good ol' sheik and Pep - and thank fuck they don't but wait, here's another post in Media thread telling everybody that they're wrong. Let's all have a collective scratch of our heads and wonder why, if one "supposed agenda" on mainstream media is a but a piffling distraction then another "supposed agenda" on an utterly minor corner of the World Wide Web should cause anyone such anxiety... Give me Big Mal's Cigar any fucking day.
