Media Discussion - 2023/24

[RayCTID]

Just listened to the first ten minutes of that.

Auclair said City are easy to admire but hard to love and their manager is the same.

Why is Pep hard to love?

Is it because he is not Jurgen Fuhrer?

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Phillipe Auclair came to the UK in the 90: to report on Wenger and Arsenal for French media.

Bitter and twisted and hates City.

His claim to fame is doing the in-flight announcements for Air France. Oh, and describing me as "illiterate".

 

[Tracking back]

Oh how they used to laugh when Garry Cook called it ‘the project’.

Which unbeknownst to them was the beginning of the end.

They could never have imagined the landscape changing this much and they'll probably never truly recover from it.

My missus reckons Pep has “those eyes” I said do explain.. “you know, like he beats his wife up”

To be fair she does come from a family of predominantly dipper fans …

She wasn’t into football when we met 30+ years ago ;-)

I like the Monday Night Club on 5 Live.
A few points from it tonight, Chris Sutton, who i actually enjoy listening to, has been bleating on all year about how boring it would be if we won the league again, and how much he wanted a great title race. He sounded very disappointed tonight that we had done it.
This is the same Chris Sutton who's a cheerleader for the SPFL and Celtic and has never once complained about that being a one sided boring league, even when Rangers were relegated to the third division.

Later on in the show they described Chelsea's achievement of finishing 6th as unbelievable as it looked "impossible" a few weeks ago.
So City have to win the league every year due to our squad and money spent, yet its unbelievable if a team that has spent a billion in 12-18 months finishes 6th.
Something doesn't add up here

The Ryan Giggs eyes?

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

The BBC sports home page has one feature about Foden. Other than that there is no mention of the league title or four in a row. Pathetic. But the negativity towards City only serves to further motivate Pep and the players, so bring it on. Hopefully more piss boiling to come on Saturday.

Monday Night Club discussing us. Really good so far, 25mins in and so far no numbers mentioned.
Monday Night Club, 20/05/24: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/l0056m57 via @bbciplayer

Except for Conor Coady (yet another scouser fast tracked for no evident reason into media work) claiming that he "read today" that more people watched Klopp's farewell than City's game. Two supposedly trained journalists on the panel with him and neither felt the need to question his source.

Of course they didn't, they knew he'd made it up

Why would any **** care even if it’s true? They are such pitifully needy cunts.

I think it adds up to the fact that Chris Sutton is a fucking idiot.

Their insecurity gets bigger by the day. It's like they need reassurance and their egos massaging by the second. Cunts the lot of them.

There’s no hiding place for the red scum on Saturday. And the world will be watching.

Nail on the head, it’s quite laughable just how insecure they are

The point he and Mark Chapman made was they believed there was little or no jeopardy because how good we are; so people had more interest in Klopp's last game.
To be fair Cody said he watched us and full of praise for Guardiola and Enzo Maresca . Said you could see he'd worked under Pep and how a tactical plan for everything.

Shock, horror, Liverpool fan makes claim with providing no evidence or source.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

They are unquestionably the most needy supporters in football. Everything has to be about them, everything has to mean more than it does for everyone else. Everything they do has to be bigger and better.

It demonstrates pathological levels of insecurity.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Shock, horror, Liverpool fan makes claim with providing no evidence or source.

And the claim relates to them being bigger and better. Double shock.

 

[laserblue]

Surprise, Surprise, Liverpool fans on RAWK started the Lance Armstrong FC jibe.

Yet they never mention LFC illegally hacking City’s player database.

Or failing FFP in 2013 and perperating a blatant £35 million financial fraud to escape punishment for failing FFP in 2015.

 

[Axel Freed]

Why would any **** care even if it’s true? They are such pitifully needy cunts.

Spot on but it does slightly grate with me thought that a guy who's presumably receiving a not inconsiderable fee (at our expense) makes such an inane, irrelevant comment on the BBC just to have a childish dig at City and is allowed to get away with it unchallenged

At least we can choose not to subscribe to Sky or TNT

 

[jrb]

X/Twitter is full of Scousers claiming….. drum roll.

Nobody cares about City winning the title 4 times in a row.
It’s already been forgotten about.
More people watched the Liverpool match instead of the City match.

I have to give Liverpool fans some credit across X/Twitter and social media in general. They’ve worked non stop and tirelessly over the last 24 hours to try and play down the significance of City’s record 4 title wins in a row.
