‘They’re Back’

That’s okay.

They’ll be off again soon.

 

[PPT]

I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing more disliked by the media in this sorry 'state' of ours than Manchester City, and that is any sporting domination by Manchester City.
I was puzzled by the pro rag lexicon of Shearer during the game. When did he become such a tubthumper for the rags?
That 2nd penalty shout being described as good defending, just using his strength? Then saying the opposite about the challenge on poundland Haaland at the other end says it all.
The media can't have domination in the league. The English game is sold on its competitive field. If you have City winning too much it spoils the brand, which in turn dilutes the brand, which risks viewers turning away from it.......and THAT is why we see so many media cunts down playing our brilliance.
City winning everything is bad for their careers. The media must see a close competition or their whole product becomes stale.
On the upside, I believe this negativity will happen to any team that dominates from now on. Broadcasters, journalists, industry officials, and social media nobs, will all need engagement. When that drops their income drops.
And you don't fuck with someone's butty without kickback!!!!

If United or Liverpool dominate for the next 10 years the media would absolutely love it. Guaranteed

Only if it didn't cause 'the product' damage.

 

[burning blue soul]

You can guarantee if the rags liverpool or even arsenal dominate there would be no such negativity

There's only one guarentee, and that's income stream.
If it drops, or becomes at risk, they will go for the throat of anything that jeopardises it.

Avoiding it until next season.

I suspect that any miraculous domination by the rags or dippers would be actually be greeted in the most positive manner possible by our " highly principled and discerning " media whores.

Whores follow the money, and rags / dippers have the largest following of dumb punters just begging to be robbed.

I don't believe that is true with modern media. The whole industry is built on confrontation and challenge. That's what sells.
But, I hope to never find out.

Shearer and Mowbray on BBC Were a disgrace

The rags and dippers are the product that's why there's so many cock suckers in the industry

No problem with you having a different opinion, but if there is so much " confrontation and challenge " within the modern media , I don't see evidence of any of them having the courage to offer a different opinion on the likelihood of City's guilt under the PL charge of aka " the 115 charges ".

That would appear to be " what sells " in the eyes of the media .

Isn't the 115 the purest definition of confrontation and challenge you are ever likely to see?
They don't care about guilt or innocence, or even if it is City. They care about income stream and what generates more of it.
This would be a story if it was the red tops, but will never happen because the football authorities wouldn't charge them.
So they prey on the club that can be charged.
A game is played at a level above the grass, and the rules are not clear or written by anyone. Money makes those rules.

Yep. They would never be charged, not even investigated.
The league socialism is a fallacy. None are equal. The red tops have taken a generation to anchor themselves at the heart of the premier league power corridors.
It will take 3 generations to remove them.

Shearer and Mowbray on BBC Were a disgrace

They were. But the BBC are on the same page as the other media Johnny's. Domination spells trouble and must be stopped.
It is the only reason to see Shearer be so pro utd in that game.

Ok whatever. More confused by your first post now but fine.

I honestly don't think if any of the red triplets dominated it would cause any damage to the product . In the first nine seasons of the PL , united won 7 titles . That legacy set the narrative , look at the choice of pundits at each televised game for a start.
Arsenals 'invicibles' are still lauded Twenty Years on . Klopp has been celebrated as one of the great managers of the PL despite his team only winning it once , whereas our 100 point or domestic treble seasons are barely mentioned. We are the interlopers and they don't like it.

BBC Scotland are 100% OK with one club dominaton, so long as it’s the bheasts from the east

The media will go for anything and anyone that makes them money.
The only stories they get about the red tops are ones sanctioned by the clubs and the premier league.
My point is, if at any point the league throw any of these red tops under the bus, the media would go for them.
The media only have one master, and that's money.

That's a different era. The last 30 years have changed society beyond recognition.
You think 30 years ago a no mark in his mums bedroom would get his own radio show on the basis of him being an idiot?
Different rules apply now. But red tops are protected by the league.
The media know not to upset the balance, but, like a pack of dogs, will go for any weakness if offered the chance.

Society likes to have some form of structure. People are comforted by it. They like familiarity. It may annoy lots on here, but the red tops have wormed their way into the league like limpets.
Very hard, now, to dislodge. It will take many years to do. City are currently doing it, as we see from the ridiculous charges.
But, if that relationship ever sours, the media will be on them.
But, as I originally mentioned, it's domination that can financially harm the hangers on of this league (as far as the usual dickheads are concerned).

And don't forget the City fan's favourite button on the remote - the mute!

Yeah - I made very good use of that too yesterday.
The game ended in silence, and was then switched off immediately.
