Media Thread 2020/21

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I assume like every other media who talk about our failures in the CL, there was no in depth look at the last 4 seasons when major key incidents have ALL gone against us in the QF stage inc the most corrupt matches i have ever seen v Dippers

We both know the answer to that.

It’s interesting how if an expensive signing under-performs at United, then the blame is immediately placed on the attitude of the player concerned, as opposed to the club not doing their homework.

Make no mistake, if Pogba or De Maria, or the largely forgotten Mkhitaryan had signed for City, then the likes of Custis and Talksport would have pounced upon the fee.

Instead, we get this oversimplified lazy bollocks that Pogba is a great player who doesn’t understand the club’s DNA
It was the same with Likaku who “didn’t play the United way” (whatever that means), but has since never been replaced.

Bloody hell, Lukaku. I keep forgetting about the £80m they spunked on him. So they have paid more than we have ever paid for a player for Pogba, Di Maria, Lukaku and Maguire. Funny how it never gets mentioned.

Well they did save a few bob on Alexis Sanchez

Evertonian Renegade Offspring.

Fancy me not realising that;)
I thought it was 'ero as in 'eader but not if you have allowed an Evertonian cuckoo in your nest.

Talkshite gone full PR overdrive with St Marcus this morning. They sent our Trev to report on it the trolling bastards.

Hes not signed another letter? Shirley Not? Is there nothing he can't do? OBE in the New Years Honours. Other Buggers' Efforts.

He's long since flown, M. He's spreadin' the Toffee and City Gospel among the Tarquins of Islington.

So he still has some City Leanings
That's not too bad.
My lad went over to the dark side for a very short period. All the dads in our avenue were blues but all the boys were hypnotized by all the ads for the new PL and Sky.
Soon rescued him and prepared him for York away years later.

Grandson No2 six months old has the full City kit, and Dad was forever mithering as to where it was when I said I was gonna buy the little tot one. And he would have been wearing it alongside his Grandad had we been allowed into Wembers on Sunday!

They’re going to have a hard time explaining tonight’s magical night under the floodlights in Istanbul.
Looking forward to the headlines for once.

“Struggle”, ffs.

The wonderful BBC can't quite make it their main football headline of course. Salford rag media in denial again, lol.

 

[mccity]

It's funny to see that the BBC website is going in rather hard on United.

But looking past the fact it's United, it's pretty sad how any media presence, especially one as reputable as BBC, can go from treating a team like they're perfect when they're winning to sticking the knife in when they're losing.

Where's the Giggs story gone? BBC buried it as 5th story down in Welsh football section below Cardiff injury concerns. Talk about burying a story...

BBC this morning openly laughing at the shambolic first goal.

Strangely been deleted now, wonder if we've had a word?

I take it that was for City's 3-0 result?

Yes.

 

[Metalartin]

Yes.

I don't City would respond to that, sounds like an editor spat out his morning coffee at how stupid it makes them all look and made them pull it.

 

[Centurions]

Maybe, although their change of heart could have been caused by a quiet little friendly chat from someone at City, pointing out how stupid it looked. It doesn't always require the big stick. Softly, softly is our preferred option.

What did it say? - can't see it now it's been deleted

Aguero put his hand on lines woman's shoulder kept coming up on my Twitter feed from the main sports report feeds for days after. There were articles in the Guardian about it. Innocent until proven and all that but wife beating seems a less serious offence if done by a player from one of their favoured teams.
