Media Discussion - 2023/24

The bitterness from Jonathan Liew's latest spewings over at The Guardian.

Shan't be linking it for the obvious but I found the below passage a particular high/ point of the article.

'Beyond that, a frightening calm. There is a school of thought out there that City is a club driven by grudges and enmities, fuelled by antagonism and spoiling for scraps at any opportunity. Perhaps this is true at a boardroom level, or on the wild frontiers of the internet, where City fans remain unrivalled in their capacity to nurture conspiracy theories and illusory slights, desperate to be hated.' :-)

I try to ignore a lot of this stuff these days, as it’s often just clickbait nonsense, but this has irked me more than most. It’s a crowded field, admittedly, but I think Liew might just be the biggest dickhead on The Guardian’s sports desk. It’s genuinely pathetic stuff. They don’t even try to hide it any more.

What a joke.
BBC Sports News...

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

There is something very sinister and nasty about Jonathan Liew.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

BBC news tonight film of Celtic winning old firm game, film of Burnley and Lutons relegation games. One sentence mention of City's win ,no reference to the fact we are two games from history. Fuck the licence fee fuck the BBC.

 

[Pam]

Honestly, just ignore them.

I heard this weirdo and couldn’t make out if he was a proper blue. There’s no doubt in my mind that BBC kept hold of his number so they could ring him up and allow him to embarrass us all again.

Think he’s a friend of savages, he’s been on before. These type of fans do us no favour. He might be a rag setting us up who knows ?

Disappointing to hear arrogance on 606 from that City fan calling some of the other teams cannon fodder. Some of our fans need to learn some humility. Cringe when I hear that shit on national radio!

I'm just listening to it now and this is the BBC at it's finest or it's worst.
We've just returned back to the top, playing well and scoring goals for fun, did 606 get a city fan on who was level headed and humble?

Did they fuck!

The same week we had that pile of wank article about the allegations we get the two worst city fans on ever, one slagging off all teams and dismissing everyone, the other saying Haaland isn't that good. Like Clockwork the beeb, too predictable.

And this after we had TNT post match talking about pep leaving and do you think he would take the Bayern job again, I mean after all he still has a place there apparently.

The media fucking hate us.

50 to 100 years non of these reporters will be remembered but City records will always be remembered long after the pre sent City fans let that sink in. Who remembers the reporters when Spurs were top dogs in the 60,s no one.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Why is the Nottingham Forest fan not on talkshite tonight , has he been dumped.

I saw him in the Barley Twist this evening singing; "We are staying up" when he found out the spurs score. He fucked off down the road to watch Forest around half an hour before kick off.

 

[argyle]

Against my better judgement I looked at the match report on the Guardian.

First off, the guardian hate our owners as they are the wrong sort of Muslims. To the Guardian, Muslims are an oppressed people and rich and powerful Muslims don't fit that worldview.

The comments underneath the stories are hilarious.

You can spot a utd and liverpool fan a mile off. All the talk of ruining football, no jeopardy, it's all inevitable and boring.

People actually had to point out to them that the league still isnt won and Arsenal could go top tomorrow.

What they really mean is it's not fair that my red shirt club isn't winning anymore!

There was Eric Todd, Donny Davies David Lacey, Geoffrey Green, and before that Neville Cardus, et al.

But you're right about the current crop of click-bait sensationalists (not a typewriter or a pipe amongst them.)

I would even wish for a return for Peter Gardner, David Meek, and Eric Thornton!

 

[halfcenturyup]

Sky yellow ticker saying we are a point ahead of Arsenal? WTF.

Haven't you heard? Since the last PL meeting City only get two points for a win. To increase competitiveness.

And their goals from shots outside the box mean more.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Here is the "great man" at work playing the game he so patently "loves." Try not to smile.

Embarrassing ****.

 

[J.A.M]

I had to laugh at The skysports “hit and miss“ article

The only mention of City is in a bit about how “Fulham needing a striker“ and the best bit how “Spurs have rediscovered their form before their biggest game of the season“

They are in pain lol :)

Yep. The bastard breathes.

Were there also lots of " people don't care what City win, it's all hollow achievements " bullshit?. I swear they care because they can't stop fucking talking about us
