Media Thread 2020/21

[norman]

Pep has acknowledged many times that for his system(s) to work “you need great players” who of course cost money. But the money City have spent has been within budget, has been forensically examined and cleared of any FFP issues and therefore City in fact do not have that big an advantage financially, certainly not the other so called elite teams. Except possibly City are not weighed down by crippling interest payments or venture capitalist owners so we get to watch the result of a great coach with great players. As has been said why don’t the media question how other clubs are run? They darent because they need the click bait.
In the long term, if City keep up this level or near it, the narrative will have to change as it increasingly is contrary to reality.
in the meantime the hate spreaders, naysayer and doubters can do one the silly so and so’s

Have we been accused of ruining football again-yet?

My favourite member of Abba is the one with the really nice bum....and the two women are quite nice as well.

I like the blond one, think he was called benny

Any mention of City's game today and Pep's managerial achievements after 500 games etc removed from BBS Sport's main sports thread...you'd never know the WHU game ever happened unless you check today's football results or look halfway down the specific footy section.....

Some bitters are sure in pain in BBC Salford Quays HQ..

 

[Centurions]

Not a single mention of the rag cunts in that article... haha they’re that transparent they could be a fucking window!!

Be grateful they didn't think to use 'former Man City youth player' instead.

What's this obsession Sly Sports have with "who can stop Manchester City?"

Of course this is a rhetorical question.

However, I've cast my mind back to Last season and I can't recall one game where the dippers went into it with the tag line attached #stopLiverpool

It was regarded as a foregone conclusion that the dippers would win and win comfortably.

Could you imagine the pre-match build up in the media if it was the rags or dippers going for their twentieth consecutive win?

It's the hoping we fail angle now.

When you've won 20 on the bounce I can't see what else they're going to lead with to be fair.

If you're a journalist working for a top paper could you gain as many twitter followers if you worked for your local paper having to write about missing dogs?
Would you want too?
Could you win an award for one of your pieces writing for the Skipton Herald?
Should your daily achievements be set against a backdrop of if you could?

Exactly.

SUBSTITUTION​

Man City 1-1 West Ham
Ferran Torres off, Phil Foden on. It really is an embarrassment of riches.

Perhaps the Beeb should qualify that statement with the fact that one cost us nothing and one was bought for a relatively cheap £20m?

Embarrassment of riches is a reference to our squad depth as a general point. In this context it's unfair to take the word 'riches' too literally.

I'm sure there were plenty of other barbs from the BBC, but this doesn't read like one of them.

When you've won 20 on the bounce I can't see what else they're going to lead with to be fair.

I can think of many angles they could lead with, and no-end of follow up articles, pre-match articles, catch-up features, records to break lists, trophy’s to be won speculation, best team ever pronouncements, academy analysis, ‘what has gone wrong with’ rivals comparisons... they just need to delve back to their 19-20 season output and replace Liverpool with City.

the porcine squadron is overhead if anyone wants to watch their daily flyby.

Dan Walker just announced The City bench cost £305M.
West Hams team less than a million.
No correction from his fellow idiots

BT sport bemoaning City's subs bench next season

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Don't think Peps comments on money was a good thing, he should have emphasized that our players are great regardless of what we paid and reminded the media we bought many of them "on the cheap" relatively. Look at this shit the Beeb put up, as some said, if they say it enough it will be the accepted truth

The fact the BBC run these trolling social media comments from people as part of their main online match feed says it all. No attempt at impartial coverage at all. Can't they just report on the match? If they were covering an interview with Boris Johnson as a live online feed would they include trolling comments from Labour supporters. It is just bloody bizarre. The BBC has a legal requirement to be unbiased because of the way the public pay for it. It is not asking for much.
