Put the radio on this morning just after 6am to hear Natalie Sawyer say to Tony Cascarino "Do you think Ake meant that as a shot or a cross?" to which Cascarino replied " Give him the benefit of the doubt, I think it was a shot but he didnt hit it with any conviction"
Needless to say the radio went straight off again, but how can anyone let alone a supposed "football pundit" watch that goal & wonder if Ake meant it???!

It's always been about controlling the narrative. Sky's involvement in the setting up of the PL was always about looking after the interests of certain 'favoured' teams.

It was set up to make money, which it has done throughout the last 31 years.

Of course with Cascarino being a striker he would know the only way to put the shot where it went was a nice little sidefoot finish which is what Ake did.
And if he did hit it with any conviction it wouldn't have ended up where it did.

Remember talksport are paid to put us down at any given chance. Any other team in red scoring that goal and it would have had them wanking around the studio.

Fuck em.

It’s not that simple though, is it? Between them, united, Arsenal and Liverpool have won one title in the last decade, around a third of the lifespan of Sky, and yet the money keeps rolling in. Not denying that their narrative is geared to promote those teams, but the suggestion that the business model is predicated on those clubs winning things (as was implied) is demonstrably wrong. We have dominated over the last ten years and yet the business is still thriving.

Matterfaeces and that miserable big foreheaded ****. ITV surpassing themselves. AFTV would have been more neutral.

Really don't understand how he gets so many gigs. The bloke rates himself highly but he is a complete nerd. Thinks his own opinion is the best out there and is an expert on the game. In reality he makes quite bizarre observations.

That's true, for now, the bigwigs at EPL, SKY, BT, BBC, ITV etc etc know what's good for the brand and IMO we are at a tipping point, they need one of the "glory clubs" to be back, in their eyes we aren't good for the brand long term

They'll accept Arsenal breaking our monopoly for now, but Liverpool or The Rags one of them needs to be there or there abouts

Some balance would have been good wouldn't it, Dixon did actually say something like 'don't write US off yet' when 4 mins(?) of injury time came up.
In truth I think the official City website commentary is more balanced (obviously pro City but generally fair in their assessments) Did try and have the TV muted with the website commentary but it isnt in sync and is slightly out.
They said Pep was being miserable. He does look a bit 'narky' at times for sure, but as someone put on one of the threads last night all the questions were pretty inane ones about Arsenal and he probably thought 'here we bloody go again'!

I think ‘needs’ is hugely overstating it. Prefers, sure.

And ‘the brand‘ is stronger than ever, so that argument doesn’t currently hold much water.

What’s your reasoning behind the tipping point being now, rather than, say, a year ago?

Maybe last year Newcastle weren’t in the picture, so it was only nasty upstart City that spoiled the red vision of nirvana, this year Newcastle have performed better/earlier than expected, so it’s getting imperative to react to their nightmare scenario of no red teams
