Media Discussion - 2023/24

Haaland’s hates Manchester and is going to Real Madrid.

And Pep is going back to Barcelona.

More bullshit from the Spanish press and now Marca.

It’s hard to believe the Spanish tabloid press is worse than the British tabloid press, but they are.

I didn’t think you could find a bigger bunch of cunts journos than in this country but the Spanish media are proving me wrong.
Utter cunts!

Just opened BBC football … the headline about EH.

The journalists/reporters/halfwits/arseholes are either being paid by rags/dippers or are thick cunts who wouldn’t know which end of the brush to hold if the council employed them to sweep the roads.

BBC not fit for purpose.

Yes, I dont think you are far off there but I would say late 40s than mid 50s. I always remember a newspaper article circa 1998/99 describing us as a club ‘for the lads’ as most of our fanbase appeared to be early/mid 20s. I think that resulted in us, during our darkest hour, having a very passionate following (for good and bad) as well as a great away following. Put it this way I don't think the second half against Stoke 98/99, where the fans were galvanised and the direction of the club changed, would happen today. Most would still be stood in the concourse now.

That is a very valid point. No doubt it resulted in the highs feeling that bit sweeter.

Funny though I would struggle to remember any quarter final victory on the way to our fa cup victories but I still regularly think about losing to Spurs in 93.

Fully agree and on a similar theme
En route to Tottenham last Friday I asked about the 81 FA Cup Run and unprompted everyone replied PALACE 4-0 NORWICH 6-0 PETERBOROUGH 1-0 etc etc

Then I asked about the FA Cup Run in 2013 when we lost to Wigan in the Final
Only the last decade, but a lot harder without checking/googling

There are plenty of reasons for this, but the media don't help with the way they've diluted the competition.

Nothing more than client "journalists", bought-and-paid-for duplicitous, loathsome, media shills.

Not a well known fact, but, Oliver Cromwell was a Blue.

That'll do for me Tommy.

I wonder which one of the arseholes was paid to ask Pep about Haaland in the press conference? I'm going for that **** Stone.

Yes, the media, football clubs, managers and the all encompassing nature of Champions Lge qualification and the pot of gold.

Also I do think over saturation has played a part. I remember how exciting it was to watch the highlights of the cup tie v QPR when Ray Ranson made his second debut and Flitcroft played at centre half. Beating Villa away under Kendall with Peter Reids goal. Great to watch all the matches but you do lose the uniqueness of the occasion.

I did the test for 88 and can remember all the games, Hudds, Blackpool, Plymouth, Pool but still struggling with 2013.

BBC United - Mediacity, which is just another football media outlet, jumping on the made up story from Spain about Haaland not being happy in Manchester. And here’s me thinking like everyone else they know it’s a made up story, so they‘d decide not to run with it, but oh no. Rag c*nts!

After he scores another HT on Monday. Press officer should send him out to sky to give one of his sweary TV interviews. It's after the watershed and he can tell them how fucking happy he is then rip a beefy fart and walk off.

He's the original F OC :-)

It’s actually on the front page of the BBC sport twice… the fuckers love it.

Pity the fuckers weren't so quick to write what a disgrace Brentford and Sly Spirts were with their coverage of Ivan the bookies friend Tonie and his cheating on his return instead of giving him a firework hero welcome.
Wankers

Funny how shit Manchester is for football. Only last season marca reporter and madrid players said our support was the loudest they had heard. Funny I don’t remember what the weather was like that night

They did. Imagine if the atmosphere was like ths every home game.(wrong thread, jrb)

 

[Woody2792]

Imagine trying to spin a story that a bloke born in Leeds, raised in Norway and played in Northern Germany is bothered about shit manc weather.

 

[cheekybids]

Imagine trying to spin a story that a bloke born in Leeds, raised in Norway and played in Northern Germany is bothered about shit manc weather.

Or a player born in the midlands has said it’s too hot & he doesn’t like the food in Madrid.

Our source says he told a close friend it’s like living in another country….

 

[citymad]

God he hates these pressers. Imagine being forced to have a conversation with these irritating no marks.
Who is the moron who asked how important is it to have Erling Haaland and KDB back?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

"There are few more notorious comments than the one Ian Rush made on his struggle to adapt to Italian life during his one season at Juventus in 1987-88. 'I couldn't settle in Italy,' the £3.2million man said, 'it was like living in a foreign country"

Greater Manchester is the football capital of the world. It is the first conversation that comes up with anyone abroad..even those of a red persuasion. City and United have hoovered up 44 major trophies in the last 30 years (excluding Super Cups etc). The Premier League is the strongest competition in world football, watched by billions across the globe. This is the only place for any great player to prove himself. Haaland is privileged to be here and I am sure he knows it.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Rag media shit sturring again with Haaland, It's Funny that it's always the Manchester weather and lifestyle that the Manchester City players don't like, But the United players are happy with everything because it's sunny and warm in Trafford and the nightlife is better than the Las Vegas strip, just ask Rashford he's loving the nightlife I heard

On average there are 152 days per year with rain and an average of 86.71 cms of rain per year (compared to 115.19 cms in Cardiff, Britain's wettest city). Sources: Weatherspark, UKister.

There are something like fifteen citys, including Cardiff and Leeds that have higher amounts of rainfall.
