Media thread 2022/23

Apart from some of the most good looking girls in the world fuck off brazil. Modric at is age was man of the match for me. Probably the wrong thread but hey.

Take it you didn't get the staff writing back to you slating City and detailing every penny spent which I did after telling them the same thing. No matter how good Samuels is, and I think he is one of the best, is not enough to tempt me to subscribe again to the tomes.

If his articles appear on the same days regularly, I shall buy the paper on those days. MS is easily the best football writer we have imo. Gets to the heart of the matter. Took Liverpool apart on their ludicrous plea of poverty.

Don’t forget the corduroy trousers with an elasticated waste. I’d be lost without them!

‘Elasticated waste’ is a revolutionary concept: er… get your turds back?

"Pater will you take us to Anfield to watch Liverpool?"

"Don't be absurd child. We'll get nits and scabies and have our pockets picked by those dreadful oiks that live there."

Nanny will make sure everything is ok

 

[KS55]

Agreed..

I did all right academically but when I see stuff like some of the amounts people can get paid to write about the game they love, well now it makes one think about the choices that were on offer back then..

And as for 'careers advice', back in the late-60s the school adviser never said anything about how you might get a job involving sports journalism or one like, say, Stanley Tucci swanning around Italy tasting the food for the tv cameras..

As Yvonne Fair sang 'It should'a been me..!'

Competition for sports journalism at a high well paid level on a national daily is tough. A friend of mine became editor of a well known football mag. Pay wasn‘t great.

he doesn't work actually for a newspaper, he's a reporter with VIZ

Always knew he was a fat slag.

Be tough squeezing a whole state into a single snap

Lovely stuff.........

I find the best parts of The Times these days are Clarkson and Liddle (sad i know)

Liddle is a reactionary **** who hates City.

I had a letter published in the Sunday Times complaining about him back in 2012.

 

[theres only one carlito]

Interesting read. Not specifically on City but Sheik Mansour related.

World’s Richest Family: How Abu Dhabi’s Royals Made Their Wealth — Bloomberg

The Al Nahyan family owns Manchester City Football Club, a dozen or so palaces and invested big in SpaceX and Savage X Fenty.

Freelance page rates aren't what they used to be, trust me:(

Quite literally. Freelance rates are often lower than they were in 2000. I was recently offered a short-term contract on a national daily at £110 per day. Fuck that!

I know guys doing matches getting paid £70.

Once they have paid for petrol, they are probably losing money!!

I used to get £300 a game for Screws and then if you doubled up for the Monday, it was a £500 day.

Long gone are those days, eh!

Yeah, always found Liddle a bit cheap.

 

[chesterbells]

For Martin Samuel fans on here...

He's had enough of Daily Mail.

Watch this space... Next stop The Times for double his dough:)

I estimate that will be closer to £1m a year!!!

Two columns a week - nice work if you can get it!!

Congrats to someone who always gives City a fair sheikh!

Just catching up and saw this. Great stuff. It’s not just his City stuff and his fair stance on the club, but his writing in general that makes him a must-read.

Liddle may be many things but he is certainly no reactionary. Absurd.

Always wondered what that kid Jay from the inbetweeners was doing since the show ended. Now I know.
