Media discussion - 2024/25

My hat is twitching although it's probably coincidence that the sky news website pushing Starmer's freebies with arsenal using a picture of him at the Etihad.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

And Berkovic - he had an ego bigger than anyone.

Yes, forgot him, and yes by all accounts he was a bit cunty.

 

[Dribble]

Football365 & Manchester City News are two bullshit clickbait publications. It's our duty as blues to not contribute a penny to them by reading their turgid bollocks.

 

[Bill Walker]

I've tried racking my brains but I cannot think of one ex rag player who comes across as a decent human being.

Brian Kidd

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Brian Kidd

yep...Nobby was a lovely fella as well...and John Aston, who's family still own Astons tobacconists in the Royal Ex arcade in town...

There are plenty but Juan Mata jumps immediately to mind.

There are plenty but Juan Mata jumps immediately to mind.

A family member has worked with a lot of MUFC players doing promotional work.
Juan Mata was a polite gentleman who had time for everyone...

 

[El Gringo]

Ahh the Lawman I'd forgotten about him. A few years ago I saw him in TK Max in Altrincham with his grandkids and I had a brief chat. You are correct he came across as a nice guy. We chatted about Tony Book who I would see in Tenerife the next day.

I met Solksear in Sports Direct in Broadheath years ago ...I would haven't usually engaged in conversation only he commented to me i the que that were were both buying the same sandles ( they were for the holiday I was going on..I'm not a hippy) ...he was a sound enough guy ..for a rag

Surprised they've not changed their name to Football115

Always knew red nose didn't enjoy his time with us.
He thought a lot of our fans never gave him the respect he thought he deserved.
I wonder why.

I actually loved him when he played for us. I was only about 10 and a keeper aswell though, was great to have 'the best keeper of all time' as all the young rags used to say playing for City.

Comes across as a sour bitter **** in that clip though. Spoiled my view of him for sure.

 

[freshie]

Gets a free ticket with the media and slags off the atmosphere, meanwhile hardworking fans who would have loved to have gone are priced out. Such an ignorant twat. If he's ever back at our stadium I hope we make our feelings known about him, shouldn't be allowed back in.

Well said Big Steve



Hated by both Blues and red alike - takes a special kind of **** to achieve that

Who ended up with the sandals, you or him?

Brian Kidd, Goater & the Lawman

I was thinking Berkovich & Anelka myself.

& Hartson agrees.

Front sports page headline in the Daily Fail. The author of said article "Sam Lawley is a UK News Reporter, currently on the Mail's two-year graduate trainee scheme covering a wide range of Home News stories, as well as some Foreign and Sport pieces."

If this is the journalistic training he's getting, the race to the bottom will be very quick.

Brian Kidd

Kiddo and Nobby Stiles ran their academy for a time and I met them a few times, always had time to chat.

Michael Owen has managed to have the Rags, Dippers, Geordies, us and just about everyone else hating him…. Then again he is a complete ****.

It must be free to read the fail online as that’s the only explanation why anyone would read it.
