also, forgetting the play-on/pull back farce, on the commentary Neville dismissed Akanji's penalty shout, fair enough, but he also brought up a previous similar incident (united iirc) which wasn't given... 'just a hand on the shoulder' - I can remember an even bigger 'hand on the shoulder' only incident, with additional falling backwards and throwing arms in the air to get into a Platoon pose by the TWGD Salah, that resulted in a pen.

The problem is that City players are shite at diving.
Salah is a Master (Hons), as are a few Arsenal players.
We need to either up our game or not bother...

If it had been Liverpool, instead of us, the media would be all about the ref's mistake and totally sympathetic to Klopp's loudly proclaimed sense of injustice, with no word about the on-field reaction.

It's so utterly transparent.

You know, sometimes I sit there and question whether I am actually a paranoid schizophrenic and this media agenda isn't actually real. It's like virtually nobody else sees it. The plain as day inconsistencies in the way we are reported against compared to say Liverpool, the ability for even the most positive stories to be twisted to seem negative. It gives me immense comfort to know others see what I see. Even if it means you too are a paranoid schizophrenic

Quite something when you consider that we're unbeaten in nine games.

And still top scorers. Up until the two crazy results with Chelsea and Spurs our goals against was only 9. Crazy to think we've imploded all of a sudden. Truth is we're still in the mix and just need to sort out our defence, get John back first then wait for Kev.
 
Any word on an apology from Webb and PiGMOL? Or I guess they have read the room and know we are persona non gratis and can fuck off.

The media doing an Adebayor on Erling.

Shows how complicate they are in protecting the brand.

The irony being that the "brand" has benefitted immeasurably by him plying his trade in the PL and media engagement is therefore off the scale.

Take him out of the league and where are the "stars" of world football? Who would drive clicks and content? Nunes? Rashford? Havertz?

Paris, Madrid, even Miami & Saudi would treat Erling like the 2nd coming, whereas we snipe and belittle anyone who brings any semblance of joy into the world.

The football media and suits at the PL are either just not very bright, or simply hankering for the glory years of redtop domination, before them Johnny Foreigners blighted the game we gave to the world.

Little England rules...OK.

Once again, we don’t play merry hell about it like Arteta and Klopp do. We don’t demand replays or apologies, we don’t even make a fuss. So in all honesty we deserve what we get and that’s fuck all. The club is just to compliant, subservient, and for some reason totally shit scared about calling anything or anyone out like the rags, dippers and Tarquins do. Be it bad / outrageous decisions by officials, the feral behaviour of visiting fans, the constant abuse, lies and bias by the media or anything else for that matter. Until we do, it won’t stop. Why should it? We are just a dog to be whipped and everyone knows it. It’s our own fault.
