Media Discussion - 2023/24

[WillinGlossop]

I looked this morning online to see Haaland & Guardiola win uefa awards… came up with Hindustani times, Dubai news, Pakistani news, Vietnam news , Chinese news, Japanese news, USA news etc etc etc not one bbc or sly sports news article… the blatant articles on both about the England women’s coach winning her trophy but nothing about City… the PR at City is being shown in shirt sales and media across the world whilst our media shun any positive news about us… the jealousy is there for all to see… the media in this country is in a campaign to save United at all costs…

It’s called context. Which comparison would you prefer? The UK has historically had one system, other countries have theirs. It is a valid comparison when the point I’m making is some people think the bbc should be stopped. My point was just because it has faults that’s not an argument for stopping it, because I think if that happened most people would regret it afterwards, and not realise what they’d missed.

Maybe a referendum’s needed. I’m sure that would settle it …

Don't think the issue is about not liking the BBC, it's all about having it forced upon us .

 

[its grim up north]

We went to Berlin after the Dortmund match and joined a load of Ajax fans in a sports bar for their Union Berlin game.

The regular "scarfers" were sound and all respected City, even though they idolise Tent Peg.

10 mins before the game the Ajax Ultras turned up and took over the cellar bar. Probably 100 of 'em. Didn't engage with them after being advised not to by the scarfers. When Union Berlin put the first half penalty away they kicked the living shit out of about a dozen Berlin fans. The riot police locked them in the cellar, turned the power off and kettled them out at full time.

Absolute nutters.

100 ultras set upon a dozen Berlin fans? Wow, must be hard as nails.

 

[Corky]

Did Pep and Erling win anything the other night ?

Page four in news on City site, we buried it well with a load of other stuff.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Guy has axe to grind every day. News is today we made 400mil from academy sales once it opened.

Look at this gem from Delaney - being called out for it in comments. Lol

Completely ignores the fact that a club has to develop academy players that other clubs want to buy. Which we absolutely do.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Orchestrated, planned, premeditated.

It’s actually quite sinister how the narrative can be shaped

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Of all the football pundits across British broadcasting, Gary Linker is the one I least dislike, which is likely the highest praise I can offer. ;-)

Fair comment.

On the other hand, it's like saying Hitler was your favourite Nazi

 

[foggy1974]

According to Max Rushden on the guardian pod, Sterling now looks like the carefree Liverpool Raheem Sterling. I wonder where we went wrong.

Don't remember us playing Luton every week

 

[foggy1974]

Met a very bitter Blades fan on Sunday on the train. Hostile about “oil club” City. Said our spending was obscene. No awareness of the truth about our owner. I put him right on investment in the community etc but he was too brainwashed to get it.

Should have asked him what he thought of Sufc Saudi owners

 

[WestGorton]

It's a people kicking a bag of wind around and they get paid to write about it. I made a big mistake trying to do something that mattered.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

She used to be on their Youtube channel. Best was when she was spouting off that we'd left the grass long to hinder liverpool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better still, when the dippers signed Takumi Minamino, she proudly announced him as THE "crown jewel" of the RB Leipzig side that had Erling Haaland banging in the goals in the same team at the time.

Talent spotter, she ain't.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

I've seen one or two games against Luton that i'd rather not remember though.

Only Gary is allowed to make comments about Nazis.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Got to say it's not my go to station but fucking hell ....no idea who the fuck the no-masks are sat in the 'hot seats' special WTF to that cockney guy...they proper love the dips tho. ;

 

[Fordyboy46]

Those twats they get on Sky's transfer centre know absolutely fuck all about who's moving where. I swear they just pick them up off the street if they look the part and like football.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

That must be SSN. Turned it off many years ago and can only think that it’s now full of YouTubers and no-marks. Obviously with a nice face to front it.

 

[nmc]

BBC News was an utter disgrace - agenda clear and obvious. Racist and pre meditated.

 

[TinFoilHat]

What have we learned from today's deadline day?

Rags are apparently stronger and made some great early signings.

City are weaker for fucking Cancelo off.

 

[fitzy blue]

Hopefully some of those games will never be repleated.

Surely no one has said that we're weaker without the person we jettisoned and then went on to win the treble treble (3 leagues in a row etc..)? Why am I asking, of course they fucking have.
