The Daily Express. Probably worse, if not the same as the Daily United. With United articles running into double figures every day. The latest. No journalist name, nor link. (another signing?)

The idea that Pep even came close to joining the rags is fanciful. The complete plan: Pep, Soriano, Tkixi was in place many years before.

When was the last time Rashford scored a goal or even played in a football match? I ain't seen any coverage of anything he's done on a football pitch for a long time.

Is that relevant?

He's been out injured since the start of the season, but I don't understand why he's only allowed to speak if he's in great form and scoring every week?

One of the things I find interesting is how much the media self-propagates these things.

I don't believe Newcastle fans would be dressing up as MBS if the media weren't so unrelenting in telling them that they should be ashamed of PIF buying the club.

I genuinely think that if you asked those people, they don't love Saudi Arabia or MBS, they're just trying to stick the fingers up at everyone who's telling them that what they should think about it.

The Newcastle fan on the 9320 podcast on Friday made a really good point that for 10 years everyone has told Newcastle fans what they should think. People constantly talk about how they shouldn't be that upset about Ashley because it could be worse, how they think too highly of themselves and should be happy existing in the PL, and now what they should think about the takeover.

So the media tells them what to think, they rebel against that, then the media says how outrageous that is, which just hardens the fans position.

100 percent agree. I see it very simple. If Pep wanted to join the rags he would have. No talk from dirty grandpa would have persuaded him either way. The problem with the scum is they can’t understand why he chose City. The complex truth is too hard to handle.

In summary, United are fucking shit, Pep knew it then and he knows it now;)

Yes but quite often stuff starts at local fan level such as Red Tissue or a group of fans at the ground for example 'empty seats' or 'Emptihad'. It floats around until it gets on media websites like the MUEN or through Simple Simon at the BBC and it grows legs. Other clubs' fans pick it up and soon it becomes a football fact despite plenty of evidence giving the truth.
The media does lead fans but it is a two way street. You cannot imagine the proper reporters of not so long ago jumping on the fans' banter/insults and using as if it is Gospel.

The slave trade was exactly that - a trade, and it was far more extensive than the taking of Africans to north America. Indeed slavery was evident in Biblical times and has been ever since, while the slave trade as we know it did not begin until 1564. Wars between African kingdoms and tribes provided a rich supply of prisoners to be traded with whoever wanted to trade. Slavery was not considered abnormal and was as normal as children having to work. Attitudes can and do change in the face of events and in the UK slavery was ruled by the courts to be unlawful on the UK mainland in the 1770s, the conditions of passage provoked a reaction and the transportation of slaves was banned in 1807 by us and slavery abolished in the British empire in the 1830s. Of course it continued and even thrived elsewhere. But the idea that the slave trade was ever a simple matter of whites pillaging Africa is nonsense: Africans had been trading slaves for many centuries before white Europeans arrived on the scene and continued long after the law put a stop to it. Indeed it continues to this day. So the answer to your question is "very probably".

When William the conk beat the Anglo saxsons in 1066 one of his first things he did was to abolish slavery in England.

Great post. The media is full of London-based posh boys moralising about what other people should think. It's none of their business. Without overseas investment from China and the Middle East Manchester would be an economic basket case. Successive London governments have done fuck all for the North West and the North East.
I live in Lancashire where 10,000 jobs are directly linked to Saudi investment at Bae. The posh boys have made a fortune from the property market in London (propped up by Chinese, Russian, and Middle East money). I despise them.

So after reading that the headline should be...

Pep snubs fergie and joins Bayern Munich.

The bald fraud didn't give Lord of Trafford fergie the courtesy of a phone call as he had requested, in other news we also understand Pep didn't even pay for his half of the meal and left the bill to Sir Alex, no wonder he ended up at those financial cheats Citeh.

Wankers
