I’ve been listening to BBC 5 live for most of the morning. I don’t think they’ve even mentioned our game tonight. Now can you imagine if a team in Red were in it, they would have a reporter there from outside the stadium.

The budget was spent sending Simon Stone to Oz to watch the Rags pre season friendly.
 
I've just been sent a great Paddy Power ad taking the piss out of the rags but, it got me thinking.
Can anyone remember them doing a dipper one ? A quick Google search shows one in 2016 that had to be refered to the advertising authority due to the number of complaints!!
Any others ?

Every media outlet is too scared to have a go at them, even PP.

I think you have to look at journalism these days in the same way we look at reality tv, its idiots appealing to other idiots but it isnt going away as the stupid are many so the best thing you can do is laugh and pity them.

Is correct.

There are very few actual journalists anymore.

Propagandists and or click generators just about covers it.

It's nothing more than muscle memory with these hacks.

They've been blowing smoke up the red shirt arses for so long now that any threat (enemy) to the cartel are their enemies too.

At some point in the not too distant future they're going to realise they've been flogging a dead horse.

I know a few rags and at least a couple of dipper fans who are now starting to see through the media driven propaganda and it's beginning to annoy the fuck out of them.

They would rather the media just call it as it is. After all, everyone else can see what's going on.

It all looks a little bit too staged and tacky.

Best thing I ever saw from Gary Neville on the United team plane coming home.

Custis was blocking the aisle and Neville shouted "get out of the way you fat ****."

Custis could only reply "charming"

I felt bad for him, but only for a couple of seconds...

Think I might of found myself rising from my seat, applauding and bellowing "bravo bravo" at this point

Excellent point. You just never see it do you?

Simple Sammy Wallace started his career as tea boy at the Torygraph. He moved on to the failing Independent, joining veteran hack -James Lawton and oddball-wierdo Ian Herbert. The three of them ( all rabid rag apologists ) regularly produced "Glory Glory manure" articles, interspersing them with virulent attacks on City as they became increasingly relevant. The "Inde" failed and Oddball Herbert moved on to the Mail ( where he continues to pen Anti-City diatribes ) and "Simple Sammy" was bizarrely - given his extreme limitations and prejudices - appointed "Chief Football Writer" at the Telegraph.

Just prior to City's appearance in the European Champions Final, Sammy penned another fierce attack on City which received much attention on this thread. The gist of the piece was that City should never have been in a position to be in Istanbul as they should be serving a 2 year ban. City "got off" because they employed expensive lawyers against which UEFA could not compete. To paraphrase this article :-

On June 10th 2020 ... 2 year ban overturned ... fine cancelled... UEFA's FFP in ruins.... City's team of 11 lawyers prevail
Judgement of City's guilt came down to whether breaches fell within UEFA's 5 year time frame
The infamous (!) threat to unleash 50 lawyers had prevailed rather than City should bow to UEFA's ( surely Gill's ?)
rules.
Nine Premier League Clubs... applied to CAS to block any possible delay
The case headed inexorably to the hearing and a CAS panel of 3 , 2 of whom had been selected by UEFA's opposition.
Now it is the Premier League's legal team that faces City's Lawyers.

Sammy appears to think it outrageous that City should employ lawyers to defend themselves against Leterme/Parry/Gill's Kangaroo Court proceedings.
The involvement of the 9 clubs trying to prejudice proceeding was "fine and dandy" .
Any commentator with an ounce of integrity knows these charges were a joke and yet Leterme and Co. went ahead despite knowing most of their charges were time-barred under UEFA's own rules.
and NO! you half-witted moron -City did not select 2 ( of the 3 ) adjudicators.

So poor ole Sammy has to go and watch City in the final and submit his report on the event. An English Football Club wins the Champions Cup and what is Sammy's response :

Sheikh Mansour attending just his second City game
no reference from Guardiola to the 115 Premier League charges
football belongs to Abu Dhabi's club - for now at least.
15 Years to defeat UEFA
their mysterious benefactor from Abu Dhabi has only found time once to watch his creation
There is still the Premier League's 115 charges ... the replaying of the case that UEFA could not make stick.
This is not a glory story without its caveats.

To be fair to the Telegraph all their other reporters were complimentary about City. Just a shame that the twisted creep who masquerades as their Chief Football Writer should get away with penning such malicious bile.

That’s a fabulous post, and well needed, because he often seems to slip under the radar.

I wonder if he’ll bump into any of the home supporters next time he’s at our stadium. He’s one I’d definitely enjoy seeing banned.

Don’t ban them. Let them come and watch. Must kill them.
