Media Discussion - 2023/24

[BlueFurn]

BBC reporting about the Premier League anti troll unit, good idea. But Neal Maupay is their first victim. Whilst they search for the troll maybe they should ask him what he said to Kyle Walker about Kyle’s children, and ask him if he thinks that was OK and should Kyle forgive him for what he said.

Media narratives this season.
City win 4-1. 'Man City can't keep a clean sheet.
City win 1-0. 'Man City don't score enough goals.

YAWNNNNNN

What the media are actually saying is:

"It's not fucking fair and we want one of the club's in red to dominate again"

 

[Tracking back]

Sick to death of hearing about Scruffy Jim.

What's next?
Scruffy Jim has a big shit
Scruffy Jim prefers Weetabix to Shredded Wheat
Scruffy Jim's window cleaner is called Bill
Scruffy Jim never liked Basil Brush.

Why can't our media team be as proactive?

Because we do all our talking on the pitch.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Cant find the lead up to it, unless you want the whole press conference.

It's basically just after the beginning 0.30 to 2.33.

The national stadium, and where the national team play will be decided by the FA, not man united.

The 10 minutes propoganda piece on the national broadcasters "news" is an absolute joke, he's even basically begging the government for financial support for this "national stadium".

Glazers still in charge though haha.

It was off camera.

Maybe back fired though. 99% of the Have Your Say comments are telling him to jog on with asking for public funding and stick his hand into his own long pockets.

Wonder if the FA are gonna stump up half the money and use it as well as Wembers? I bet a pound to a penny Worzel Gummidge won't be putting his hand in his pocket again.

Why always Lee?

Who the feck does this self-obsessed arsehole think he is?
Your job should 100% be about serious and informative questions regarding City.
You are not writing for a fanzine where "banter & zaniness" are appreciated.
Sammy Boy, I'm sure you comforted yourself with a good buffet at The Ethiad, playing the victim, despite saying you're not arsed.
Get a grip, grow a tougher skin and understand that good journalists gather new and interesting information.
Unbelievably, Sammy Boy, it isn't about you...

It didn't do Luke Chadwick any harm at the rags

Forgot about "Dot to Dot" Chadwick...

that is his main plan, they already had money for OT for 66, state funded club indeed

He had the face of Prince Charming, all you had to do was join the dots and you couldn’t miss it!

Has anyone else noted the proliferation of resemblances/relationships in the media over the past day or so? For example:

(a) Radio4's 'Why Do You Hate Me?' today featured the sorry case of online trolls targeting a professional footballer with abuse. Is that player who was the subject of the sickening abuse any relation to the professional footballer who was told during a recent game by a referee to stop abusing another professional footballer regarding the second player's family/children?

(b) BBC Six'o'Clock News tonight featured an in-depth, public softening-up piece on a billionaire tax exile who has just purchased a minority stake in a private company which is heavily in debt. The billionaire promised to try to rebuild the company back up to its 'former glories'. Is the money which will be needed for this rebuilding venture any relation at all to sources of finance also known as 'government/tax payer funds'?

(c) The interview with the tax exile billionaire was conducted in a supine, grovelling manner by a breathless BBC Sport journalist. Is this journalist any relation to another journalist who fearlessly attacks other, similar businesses for being 'state aided', breathlessly, of course? Further, is the said 'journalist' actually any relation at all to 'journalism'?

Perhaps it's just me but there seem to be so many resemblances and similarities around these days.. I think we should be told what's going on. If anyone can cast any light on these coincidences, these questions, I'd be most grateful..!

You do know he writes for the Athletic?
