Media thread 2022/23

What the press/media are forgetting about Haaland when comparing him to ex players is VAR.

Van Nistelrooy, Rush, etc etc how many of their goals would have been ruled out by VAR ? Van Nistelrooy would only have about 5 goals if VAR was around back than !.

All Haaland goals are 100% legal goals something you cant say about strikers before VAR

Another thing about these old goal scoring records that we keep hearing about. Dixie Dean, Pongo and their mates, is there was no such thing as an own goal back then. Or a cross that narrowly avoids everyone and goes straight in. Anything remotely within touching distance of the striker, they claimed it and that’s the end of it.

Contrast that with the gushing coverage given to Wrexham and their new owners and cash injection

Time the dinosaur hacks moved on from the butcher, baker, candlestick maker, scrap metal dealer, second hand car salesman, local builder, TV hire shop owners of misty eyed yesteryear.

You simply can not compare yesteryears game with the modern game, even into the nineties players were often out on the piss, todays game is highly technical and much more athletic , top players are athletes in their own right

Sly spurts spews
Liverpool march on with stunning win over big spending Fulham and Bellingham chooses Madrid glory over Manchester (City) millions

Ahhh, that would be the RM glory that sees them sat in 3rd place in La Liga, a cool 14 points behind leaders Barcelona, and 1 point behind their city neighbours.

I'd love us to get Bellingham, but not at all costs. if he wants to win things and work with the planet's best manager, he comes to City. If he wants a warmer climate and more money, then good luck in Madrid.

 

[Sky Blue]

Pongo probably had a Park Drive hanging out of his mouth whilst scoring all those goals. Keepers probably did too.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Even in the opening exchanges,he was cringeworthy in his desperation.....almost begging the ref to book both Dias and Walker.

The bias is not right,a commentator should display impartiality,and while Neville can offer good insight......he is anything but fair where we are concerned.

The **** talks more bollocks about his time at the rags than he talks about City while commentating on city games He’s a sad sack of shit.

 

[BrianW]

You rarely see bitter in pubs anymore.
It's all been injected into the veins of every Rag, Scouse and Arsenal fanboy. With the so-called pundits getting a booster every week.

i hope someone will show The Viking this video before Chelsea match

I heard this on the way home from the game. Debut season, and has just broken most modern day records in the modern game - pure entertainment.

Also, WTF was the other knob on about saying Pep had under-achieved.

 

[Sky Blue]

Neville's bitterness was off the scale last night. Horrible yonner ****.

 

[i went to rotherham]

Foden has been so marginalized this season he's only appeared for us 45 times and has been involved in 22 goals and assists

Ah, but don't forget, we have a much bigger margin than anyone else, according to the meedja.

Where do you start with this?

Jude Bellingham: Why Real Madrid move makes 'perfect sense'

England midfielder Jude Bellingham joining Real Madrid is in keeping with their strategy of buying the world's best young players, writes Andy West.

[IrishBlueSince92]

He was bemoaning a West Ham player, Bowen i think, for not squaring the ball to Emerson who would have had a tap in
Yet thats what he tried to do only Ortega made a good save

strange they managed to get 2 controversial phone call on the trott when city go back top

just a coincidence you say

 

[manimanc]

This seasons comms are exactly the same as the comms when we was neck and neck with the tramps, absolutely identical.
All having a reach around if Arsenal win then trying to plot our downfall in discussions after.
All giddy and how many can Arsenal score, not once did I hear the other night how can Chelsea get back into it.

And last night, all about how can West Ham score and then when we score they immediately switch off, you can hear how flat they are in the tone of their voice.

It's not surprising but as a big player in sports media they are dogshit.

Shirley you're not suggesting a TV hire shop owner could ever take control of a football club? Oh wait...

Listened to this on way home, Embarrassing from Talk Shite

Amazing we have any new fans as is the constant hate fest injected daily into our eyes and ears via the English sports media, the bitter tag has definitely left us for them

 

[Chak19]

Neville was full of hope in that first half and at HT,it quickly began to disappear once that first goal went in,his devastation was impossible to disguise.....that bonus made me very happy.

Well what do you expect ? he's rag so naturally he doesn't want us to win the league yet again, the real problem is sky allowing him to commentate our games.

The comparison is that there is NO comparison.
