Media discussion - 2024/25

[Gone for a Burton]

So let me get this right….. 60 years ago they’d overshadow our achievements by becoming champions of Europe but now they do it by losing again, being 14th in the prem & 21st place in the 2nd rate European Competition & sacking their Manager…..

You’ve got to admit it, they are a machine….

My1960 Minor 1000 convertible has history, tradition and a touch of nostalgic style....but it's still fucked in comparison to a 2024 mini cooper !!

Thank god foreign journalists voted for Rodri as you know none of the UK ones would have. BBC have a unhealthy fixation on Madrid, note the only story they did not open comments on are the cry babies boycotting the awards.
Madrid should not have even got team and coach of the year in my opinion, it should have been Alonso and his team

I think it's only 1 English voter - 1 each from the top 100 countries, voting from the 30-person list (for the men's award).

Think it’s Winter who votes from England.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

The cynic in me wonders about the timing of Ten Bob's sacking.
It seems well documented that the Rodri result was leaked a day or two before, so then the rags sack the manager on the day of the result thus receiving all the limelight in the media.
Pathetic insecure cnuts

I also think it relates to the humiliation of the ‘can we hitch a ride on your plane’. They deliberately announced the sacking on the same day of the Balon D’or winner as they knew that Rodri had won it to remove him and therefore City from the spotlight.

Pathetic and small time.

Resuscitate

that's the best dalek impression ever

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Slimy straight in changing the press conference direction to them beating us in the cup final.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I imagine there's a lot of our bitter gutter press journalists who are sympathising with Real Madrid over this decision. Anything to go in City's favour and they're straight there. I'm expecting several articles in the press, several on you tube asking if Rodri was a deserved winner. Cunts, the lot of em

I think so - certainly has been in the past. Some details on who voted for whom should appear in the next few days.

I expect that Winter voted for Rodri.

Didn't know individual votes are published, can you link?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

ha.

Might have been Bellingham, I guess

 

[pauls]

We'll always be accused of having tin foil helmets, so to speak, in the same way that we have no fans, no history, the full bingo card!

Personally, I think it highlights the gulf between the clubs, one playing progressive football under a maverick coach, engaged with it's community, the other, an utter laughing stock. Add to this mardisters meltdown, it's been one of the all time great weeks.

We're on Tuesday! ;-))))))

They have previous, remember them sacking the great Dave Sexton on Cup Final morning in 81.
The world's biggest club allegedly, incredible it never translates to their balance sheet.

 

[give it to gordon]

Doesn't Rodri winning just prove how little relevance the British press/media are in the grand scheme of things

So they've always tried to hog the limelight regardless of how sad it makes them look

Well he'd vote for a Real player or Harry Hotspur.

 

[Blue Til Death]

The injury ravaged Arsenal had 3 injuries & luxury of serial winners & expensive signings Jesus, Sterling & Zinchenko on the bench.

Their problems are they give themselves excuses to fail. Big club my arse!
