Media Discussion - 2023/24

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

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.

Rags have obviously added the BBC to their earlier purchase of pigmol.

 

[stonerblue]

Where do they find these utter morons?

Err, think youve answered your own question there

 

[Mifred]

Hopefully some of those games will never be repleated.

Bad pants?

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

We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for maintaining the illusion that we are an over-rated bunch of incompetent chancers, in parallel with promoting the delusion that the rags and liverpool are still somehow relevant.

Please keep your batshit bullshit going you lurking scribes.

The bitterness oozed from that BBC coverage. I couldn’t even get annoyed about it as the bias was so evident.

I love a lot of the BBC dramas etc but they are an embarrassment when it comes to football. They can turn a blind eye to pro terrorist chanting in the women’s game but ruin the early rounds of the Euros coverage with an obsession with finding racism.

Shame the media were so keen to use the anti Ciry attacks of the known racists, Javier Tebas.

It’s been fairly widely reported that we paid Wolves £53m for Nunes and that we received £42.5/45m from Chelsea for Palmer. Not according to the BBC this morning. Apparently we paid £55 for Nunes and received £40m for Palmer.

Good luck and fair play but I don’t think you'll get anywhere.
The arrogant nonce protectors will fob you off with a standard patronising bullshit response.
If you push it you'll just get more standard bullshit.

I just registered a complaint leaving out any mention of City but complaining on grounds of blatant sexism because they reported the women's manager.

I know it'll still get a bullshit response but I can then escalate this on the grounds that if it was the other way round there'd be an outcry.

The best thing I find is to ignore all the sporting media. BBC, Sky, TalkSport etc etc. I don’t watch, read or listen to any of the cunts. Fuck em the jealous rag, dipper, tarquin, chav loving arse licking cock sucking cunts let them cry and whinge about us as much as they like and let our continued success drive them all insane.

Good luck.
I wonder which standard letter template they'll use to respond.
They might even have to earn their salary and produce a new one.

BBC round up of transfers wow loads of money spent by everyone

Mancity 115 charges and state owned implying we spent all the money and made none

You know the rules;-
City buy player = Show fee with add-ons (sometimes even wages)
City sell player = Show fee minus add-ons.

I agree. Someone on here said they’re all just therapy for rags and dippers which makes it all the easier to take it all with a pinch of salt.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Like I said. A bit.

Can you expand on this for us GDM - are we saying 'a bit' is less than 'some' but more than 'a little'? ;-)

Deserves more that a like. 10/10.

Yes. That’s what ‘a bit’ is.

 

[Chris in London]

You know the rules;-
City buy player = Show fee in Euros with add-ons (sometimes even wages)
City sell player = Show fee in sterling minus add-ons and take off a couple of million for good measure.

fixed

I've had my fill of repleats.

 

[Donmcfc]

Fair comment.

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

As Nazi's go Hitler must be in the top 10.

 

[Gazza]

As Nazi's go Hitler must be in the top 10.

He was a vegetarian after all.

 

[Semper aggressus]

We shouldn’t be surprised they twist things to sound as negative as possible, most of them are rags, scousers or cockneys.

It’s so easy to make any team’s business sound shit, particularly when it is. For example, rags having to loan a player who even Spurs don’t see in their plans, re-sign a 35 year old ex-player on a free and sign Amrabat on loan because they can’t afford to buy him. They’ll be struggling to make top 4 this season the way City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have all strengthened. Could be ten Hag’s last season, he’ll be under pressure having spent £72m on an unproven striker just because his name sounds a bit like the best striker in the world. Poor business from them, still in City’s shadow.
