Media Thread 2020/21

[Neville Kneville]

Just listened to talkshite whilst making a brew.

Euro league draw.

The most boring radio I've ever heard. Alan Smith reading The Mayor of Casterbridge, would be more entertaining.

Surely people haven't tuned in deliberately for that ?

 

[levets]

Think that was the year all four sides in our group, were actually domestic champions?

Correct mate.. and uefa referred to it as the ‘Group of Champions’ rather than what it was.... group of death

 

[Kippax77]

The BBC still have a article open on Arsenal womens equaliser last night....then nothing about the result and relevance of it. FUCKING peado's the lot of them

 

[Maly]

Thanks I suppose they had to have a reason.......if they finish equal top with same goal difference would it decide the league?

Yes as has always been the case, or certainly in my lifetime.
Pts
GD
Goals Scored

So, LiVARpool are getting hailed for getting £23m for Brewster, an academy player who never made the first team.

Seem to remember City getting stick over last 2-3 years for selling academy players for millions even though they weren't good enough to make City's first team.
Here's an article from last year slating brilliant players City let go. (Most were offered contracts, but refused!)

Sick of the Liverpool can do no wrong and City can only do wrong bias across all the media!

Yes. Dortmund, Real Madrid & Ajax. City finished bottom of the group after drawing all 3 home games and losing all 3 aways. However, in the final game against AJax at home with the score at 2-2 Balotelli was fouled in the area in injury time but the ref bottled it and blew for time instead of giving a clear penalty.

Only 22 minutes of transfer talk on Jadon Sancho during the SSN Transfer show on 7pm tonight.

Only 42 mentions of "Manchester United" tonight.

The highlight of the segment was the host grouping Dan James in the world class signings made by Ole. :lol:

It can only mean "world class" compared to their other recent signings!

Sky will be surprised when they go bust in three years while the TV contract goes to a streaming service like Amazon. Their business model appears to be some sort of extension of MUTV and LFCTV.
They must be stupid if they think they can survive by providing propaganda for just one section of their potential audience instead of providing good content for the vast majority of football supporters. They have destroyed themselves, just like the tabloid press.

This what baffles me. I know from speaking to fans of other clubs that they are thinking the same thing. Instead of watering it down in recent years, they've gone further and further out on that particular limb. And the football channel is their flagship too. Commercial suicide in my opinion but roll on the day when Sky finally expires.

Believe you me, it might not be that long until that day comes. They like everyone else have taken a massive hit during covid, add to that the rise of iptv and things aren't looking that rosy for the twats . Shame.

It really is an illness...

He also thinks Coronavirus should be treated like any other illness like a cold or flu by the club

Dharmesh & Karveh will end up on YouTube, trying to outgun each other by shouting the words "Manchester United" into every sentence they can. They were genuinely at it every 30 seconds on average for 22 minutes last night.

Sky even had Gary Cotterill out in Dortmund to report live during the segment to say "Yeh, nothing's happening."

I swear some of these pundits will end up in homes with tourettes where they constantly shout " Manchester United" at each other !

Sky are like a dog with a bone. The Sancho to the rags story died a death weeks ago when Dortmund played hard ball with the fee and the time limit yet they are still flogging a non-story as if the transfer is imminent.

It's bad enough with the muppets in the studio hyperventilating in their self induced excitement over this non-event but the desperation of sending Cotterill to stand outside Dortmund's ground while absolutely nothing is happening or will happen beggars belief.

 

[dajd1984]

Did anyone see James Gheerbrant’s piece in the Times on October 1st?
Very critical, stats based assessment of our current woes.
I agree with almost every word.

How Pep Guardiola’s defensive flaws are undermining Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is one the greatest coaches of all time, maybe even the best. Sixteen months ago, when Manchester City clinched the Premier League trophy on the f

I don’t have a problem with them using it on SSN. Its a 24hr gossip column and a complete waste of anyones time.

Issue I have is the commentators are still saying “if united sign sancho” during their games. My fault for watching them, but its not their job to discuss remote transfer rumours

They are obviously told to do it. Keeping the twats relevent is scripted and deliberate, absolutely no other reason to do so.

Yes, their income depends on keeping the raggie ’fan’ base on side. Putting all their eggs in two baskets, rags and dippers.
