I think the actual term is "As long as the lie is repeated often enough, most people will believe it". But it will always be the same, whatever we win they will keep pointing towards the money, FFP or whatever while completely ignoring the fact that the likes of Liverpool have managed to earn and spend as much. Nobody ever mentions Chelsea either, who under Abramovich seemed to have a bottomless money pit.

Media manipulation is definitey a thing - and has been going on for years.
I remember reading an article years ago in a magazine called 'Creative Review' – it was in the early days of photoshop and detailed how it was being used to manipulate stories... even just simple details... for example, they highlighted the story of Dawn Griffiths who's baby daughter was stolen from the Hospital - but was found safe and returned. A photograph of the happy mum was taken, but before publishing it was edited - they didn't think the mum was cuddling the baby close enough, so they moved them closer together for maximum emotional value.
Another was of a riot, where the rioters and police were moved closer together to make the incident look more serious than it was etc. etc.
A couple of days ago, before the last game - an advert on Twitter showed Pep and Klopp together - the photo had Klopp with his arm around Pep, and was at a strange angle so he loomed over him... this was definitely a deliberate editorial choice as it made Klopp look like he was dominating Pep... this is the sort of shit they do nowadays in the age of digital media... psychology is definitely a big player.
I know we all call bullshit on this kind of stuff, but I think City definitely need to start cleverly fighting back - the way Pep's been acting of late, and now Soriano... I think it's a sign the club have had enough.
 
Tinpot media pundits carving out a career by just being anti City shocker.

Join the queue behind Collymore, Harris, Delaney etc.

What a bloody miserable twat Jordan is.
Jack Grealish wasn't 'kicking off, he wasn't starting a fight, being abusive or Insulting or assaulting anyone.( Certainly not from what I've seen or read).
Footballers do have a bit of a reputation it must be said and old Jacky boy does sometimes come accross as a bit of a 'geezer'. However, from what I saw he was in good spirits having a few beers celebrating getting a Premier lge winners medal, he was affectionately taking the piss out of his team mates (and laughed when he got it back) and I for one found him quite funny!

In fairness, and I think Jordan is a total c&@t but he had a slight point. Pointlessly putting Almiron down was needless, uncalled for and frankly a bit weird. Especially considering the season Grealish has had.
 
BBC headline on 2200 news along with piss up and lie-gate report:-
'The great Mo Salah is going to stay at Liverpool for next season but the future is more uncertain'.

Arseholes. The second cause is the key one but will they explain the significance.? Raz left and was booed up to this date but at least he earned the dippers about 50 million.

The idiots think what he said is great, but he's just running his contract down and will be gone for nowt next year.

Can't see the moneyball gimps letting that happen so I reckon he'll be gone if Real put a bid in for him.
 
Look it’s gonna be a long boring summer for radio stations who focus predominantly on football

they’re going to court controversy and clickbait stories every day with one presenter taking one view and the other taking the opposing view in order to get a debate going, over the smallest of talking points

Don’t listen to talksport would solve the problem

This talk of running the contract down next year is just to shit Liverpool up into either offering him a daft contract or letting him go to Madrid this summer for a reasonable price.

I love it - knowing that they spent weeks putting this crap together for the title/quadruple celebrations. It's the TV version of those premature title winning shirts on eBay getting sold off for 50p
 
I for one don't want the media to fawn over us no matter how great we are.
It's the media bias that makes everyone else wants them to fall on their arse
Yes it's a piss off and at times childish but you hear fans away from the red tops laughing at them as we do.
All we need is unbiased reporting spread across the board and that would do for me.
