Spent a few minutes trying to unravel who might have said what. It’s a tenuous pile of crap dreamt up by another Reach superstar. Enter Jack Flintham who the MUEN have appointed this year as ‘trends football writer’covering us and the scum.

According to the net Jack, (aka Alan Partridge football correspondent) joined the Reach from his SEO writer role at Lincolnshire Live, and has also previously served as community reporter at Lincolnshire Live.

Visions of the Partridge football sketch…. ‘Goooooal’

Fucking Lincolnshire Live and community reporting and what the cock is a ‘trends reporter‘.

A ‘trends reporter’ is literally a click chaser. Spend their days trawling social media looking for utter shite that they can quickly exploit in a manner that is as parasitical as it is cynical. Their very job title tells you that anything they produce is, by definition, literal clickbait

There are lot of people trying to convince the world that we are corrupt etc...I don't give a crap about that. But our owner has now managed to damage us so much more by embracing that mass murdering bastard in front of the world. Why didn't he just kill us off completely by embracing Assad's best mate Putin as well. The timing of this obscene act is so utterly mind numbingly dumb. I have been supporting City for over 50 years and our club has been totally transformed over the last decade. I never thought I would say this but I hope he just sells up and leaves. His embrace of that evil murderer who used chemical weapons on his own people is just too sickening.

You never thought you would say it even though you said exactly the same a couple of days ago?

Oh, seriously…

Would rather wank off Roy Keanes’s dog if they are City fans

Sadly for all the good that has been done for us the club and the east Manchester community hanging out with Assad is a huge own goal.

I see they have changed their headline to something slightly less offensive, the dickheads.

The government's official line is that they are opposed to engagement as they reckon it undermines the prospect of peace. Perfectly understandably from the diplomatic point of view, if not pragmatically, it is engagement they are against and, whilst Mansour's meeting was part of a new engagement, no-one has been personally criticised by the government. I wonder why that was?

You will be saying the timing is bad next.

Thanks Longsight. The MUEN have truly given up on us then. its like giving a hospital radio volunteer a slot on an established and supposed flagship station and expecting them to serve up quality radio to long serving listeners.
What a society we live in.

Their source for this is a twitter troll who pretends to be a “transfer expert”. Lol. Unbelievable they made this article

Unbelievable? It's Reach plc so anything is possible with any title in that group.

Now, why would the Institute for Economic Affairs be interested in the proposed independent regulator for football?

The IEA is part of a network of right-wing think-tanks with their origin, plus much of their funding (it's believed), emanating from extreme conservative circles in the USA. Think Koch brothers and the like. In fact, it's been revealed that the IEA received funding from the tobacco industry, via BAT. It's part of the network of think-tanks advocating privatisation of the NHS and climate change denial.

Given that, it's not a huge leap to think that the usual suspects (Glazers, Kroenke, FSG) are behind this. They don't want an independent regulator, as it removes their control over the PL, which makes me automatically think it's therefore a good idea. Having said that, it may also be that we don't want it either.

I took it at face value, challenging the practicalities of fan involvement in clubs, and the cost of a "regulator". Which fans? We had rival supporters clubs not too long ago. We'd want to know about the regulator who claimed to be from Altrincham but had relatives with season tickets at the Swamp.

And rather pertinent in pointing out how few clubs have folded: "This industry is almost unique in that most businesses in operation a hundred years ago are still around today".

And in other news, here's another example of how our media manipulate news:

Good article from Samuels in the DM online

"MARTIN SAMUEL: It's money first, glory second for the US owners circling Chelsea (just ask United and Arsenal)…"​

 

[Centurions]

I wish l had a pound for every person that Harris has blocked.

Where do you want me to send my pound coin? I only regret that I didn't abuse him, he blocked me just for being a Blue.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I took it at face value

There's your problem. You can't take anything this network of "think tanks" say at face value. Someone has told them to say it.

 

[SatOnTheWall]

There's your problem. You can't take anything this network of "think tanks" say at face value. Someone has paid them to say it.

A slight amendment.

Hanging out ! The leaders of one country met the leader of another country.
Johnson has just met the leaders of a country that ordered the murder of a journalist. Our leaders met the IRA, it's called diplomacy. It happens through the civilised world.

 

[Citizen Green]

Something I've noted also, the headlines of 'Government critical of owner Sheikh Mansour's meeting with Syrian president' from the Telegraph & BBC are totally false.

The quotes contained in each quote the government as follows:

"It is the UK's firm belief that - in the absence of a change in behaviour by the Syrian regime - strengthening ties undermines the prospect of a lasting and inclusive peace in Syria."

No where in there does it mention the UAE, Sheikh Mansour or Manchester City, in fact it doesn't even criticise the meeting. All very carefully worded, I wonder why?

Media shite hawks.

I imagine it’s something to do with reading Twitter, repeating it on a website which generates more interest and so making it trend then reporting it as a trend and so on. Kind of like when telly makes a reality show to create ‘celebrities’ who then go on every celebrity tv show.

A strange way to refer to the middle east only democracy, which offered salvation to victims of racial genocide in Europe.

The problem with Israel is that it is not really a democracy. The key element of The rule of law is missing. I won't go into detail but it affects the rights of Palestinians with regards to property, voting, travel etc etc.
The expansion of settlements on the West bank are not the actions of a democracy nor is the treatment of the Bedouin in the Negev desert.
I am a supporter of Israel's right to live in security, but, boy, do they make it hard sometimes.
