have to ask as ive seen it loads of times, why do people say The Grauniad.or is it to not use their correct name

I think they were prone to the odd typo or tto

 

[percypawpaw]

I don't watch anything on tv, other than when City play, I don't listen to the radio, as the shit sprouted about City has gone on for years, and just winds me up, so stay away it does help not tuning into the crap.

He was a very mediocre footballer, my dad remembers him as a player

I remember him as a player and he was indeed shite. Very fond of elbowing opponents too.

 

[Mike Cledford]

Saw that too.

It's as plain as the nose on your face (well, mine at any rate!).. they don't even bother to hide it.. and yes, I shouldn't let it mither me but it does.. and it's not even funny any more..

I think l post more about the media. I like to think l would be the same if they were unfairly/dishonestly treated such as the invisible team in blue in Liverpool.
You must have seen the Glorification on MOTD and if you had watched this morning you might have seen another ad for the Glorication on the Andrew Marr show. How many more times before it is ceases. The red bias is dfficult to avoid to avoid let alone be mithered by it.

Coined by Private Eye around the early 70s because it was notorious for many typos including mis-spelling the name of the paper (Grauniad) at the top of inside pages.

And yet, despite our supposed comparatively larger budget, their recommended targets for both teams were identical

Shows the stupidity of the remark but that goes over the heads of many armchair fans.

I'm loving all these media cunts crying about the lack of entertainment we provided yesterday. When we were battering teams every week they were crying we were disrespectful, it wasn't fair, we were ruining football. Well there you go, now make your minds up, which do you prefer?

100 per cent right. They seem to have stopped moaning about Pep spending too much on defenders. No criticism of the usual bus-parking from the rags. If we had taken the chances yesterday it would have been a "Pep masterclass." I wish we had played like that at Spurs instead of allowing them to mug us. The media slaughtered us for being naive at Spurs. Yesterday Neville and Tyler slagged us the whole match for not falling into United's trap.

They were still at it this morning on Sky regardless of the fact that Utd were the home team & offered absolutely fuck all with the best midfielder in the world touching the ball about 3 times...

Ĺinekar to Wright and Shearer after the game on MOTD:
Which goalscorer should United be looking at?

Which goalscorer should City be looking at GIVEN THEIR BUDGET?

Good old BBC subtly supporting the poor and deprived against the big bad rich boys and nationally and internationally send a message out to the hard of thinking.

Ĺinekar to Wright and Shearer after the game on MOTD:


BBC new seating for 3 c.nts

Money talks mate, then she is bitter.

I remember going on strike and how people scabbed for sweeteners and promotion promises. Such times always sort out the wheat from the chafe.

she is a gold digger and sold her soul to the sun ? pity the kids seeing it when they are old enough to understand
dads do get the bad press and maybe john did a daft thing. but show me somebody who as not fucked up

 

[LongsightM13]

Couple split up shocker, just like thousands do worldwide everyday. If the relationships were perfect they wouldn't have split up in the first place lol. Woman seeing her good life disappearing on the horizon takes the thirty pieces of silver from the scum.

Stones has been stupid and let it affect his performances for too long. But her running to the papers after faiing to extort more money from him is a snide’s trick. He was also bankrolling half her family as well, paying them to do spurious ‘jobs’ for him like driving etc

 

[Paladin]

I think they were prone to the odd typo or tto

Hence Private Eye labelled them The Grauniad, and it stuck.

Spot on. If our forwards had anything about them we'd have won.the game reasonably comfortably. The Mahrez chance pissed me off the most, he took it like he was having a kick about with his kids in the garden. Shocking miss and De Bruyne's follow up wasn't much better.

 

[manimanc]

Dortmund have sacked their manager.
Awaits stories about klopp being linked with his old club, you know like pep with Barca.

Still waiting.
Awaits some more.............

 

[@BluePhil8]

Any updates on Cavani’s racist tweet? Googled it but all the articles are from a week or two ago? Because we all know the media are not partisan, I was sure they’d be covering it with the same gusto as Bernardo’s tweet. Seems odd.

Mahrez is just toss, but De Bruyne when he is frustrated lashes wildly at shots and skies them well over the bar. De Bruyne is one of the biggest concerns for me at present, just doesn't seem himself for some reason and is getting fucked off with several members of our team as well

Yes worryingly he hasn't signed the new contract yet so if he thinks it needs three years to get back where we were I see him being poached.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I was at OT in 1974 and you certainly didn't feel the love when Denis Law scored.

You and me both PB. They weren’t coming into the pitch to congratulate us at the end of the game

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

That prick who's on Sky every Sunday morning think he writes for the Mirror reckoned "even Arsenal have better options in attack than City" the clueless ****....

 

[BringBackSwales]

Patrice Evra is fucking clueless, why the fuck is he a pundit? Oh he played for the scum, makes sense now
