Media thread 2022/23

Surely he was fired. He is a total amateur. The programme is a shit show.

He’ll still be presenting coverage of our final as his ‘grand farewell’ so depending on how the games goes I’d say it’s very likely he’ll throw the odd spanner in the works on the night.
I’d like to see us write to BT in advance that we will act on any dodgy comments about us by any presenter or pundit during the broadcast.

Wonder if the BBC will do something like this for Gundogan if he leaves this summer considering he's had a much greater impact on the league than Bobby the teeth

Bobby, a landmark in dentistry.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Will he be fit for the cup final?

Put your mortgage on it.

‘There’s a cognitive dissonance for me as a fan’: readers on Manchester City​

With Pep Guardiola’s side closing on a treble, Guardian readers offer praise for, and concerns about, City’s current dominance

The thing about this word “cheating “. Nobody who was interested in football before 2010 even considered that a chairman putting money into his club was cheating. Indeed that was really his only job. Cheating was match fixing or bribing refs or taking performance enhancing drugs. Then FFP came in and it gave everyone whose club underperformed the chance to excuse themselves by blaming others of cheating to beat them. The media fell into line at the behest of the establishment (as with politics). Any person over the age of day 20 who says that financial shenanigans (of which all clubs I am sure are guilty) is tantamount to cheating in football is just deliberately deluding themselves.

Yep,the biggest mouths are obviously the ones now most effected by our success.....the ones,who prior to our reinvention,had no competition and had everything their own way,especially,due to their manipulation of the league and the invention of the cartel.....the distribution of wealth and access to the best players.

'Cheating' was invented by those cunts,it most definitely wasn't an issue......but now it has bitten them on the arse,and destroyed their dominance,suddenly it has become one.

I've also noticed cheating on the pitch isn't so much of an issue either.....

Next time I see that Cuntis in Neighbourhood.....

Hard to miss him, innit? He's a big lad.

I actually fear for pundits health if we win the treble! Their level of hate and pain cannot be healthy.

This is the point that is always lost. United and Chelsea were allowed to spend unlimited funds and run up huge debts to enable them to win trophies and no one else could compete with them. The rules were changed purely to stop us. The idea that United's spending was organic is just ridiculous. Their owners (even before the Glazers) ran up huge debts and didn't put a penny back into the local community or the club's infrastructure. Their debts have grown not been reduced. Their model is totally unsustainable but is approved by the PL which frowns on owner investment.

Also the present ffp was written up and introduced in record time by no other the that slimy kunt Gill a die hard rag the impartiality was there from the start with premier ffp and he changed it revamped it so many times since it was introduced, one of those changes helped his club and was a way of curtailing wages increases!

She called us cheats on talksport. So hold the praise.

Talksport….it’s where the cheats go

And the pissheads

This guy nails it....

Absolutely fucking mint and from a yank as well...stand up and take a bow sir

This guy nails it....

He certainly does

He kind of envelops his chair.

Not bad for a septic ;-)

He absolutely gets it.

 

[hello]

Have any of these "journalists" come up with an actual reason why 1999 rags were better? Other than just rag-bias?

City 2023 have far more PL points, reached the FA Final without conceding and reached the CL Final by destroying Bayern and Real Madrid.

We've scored 3 or more goals 21 times this season, including in games against Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Rags, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

By every measure possible, there shouldn't even be an argument.

They could at least let us win the fookin' thing first, before "reporting" on how shit it is.

The rags conceded 2 goals against juventus and got twatted in the final by Bayern so it’s the bestest cl win ever. 3-2 is a more convincing win than 4-0 if you’re a knobjockey stealing a living like oli holt.

I liked Chelsea in 1895. Great line
