Media discussion - 2024/25

Needs tuning in along with that lanky streak of paralysed piss Roan

As in what's the frequency Kenneth?

Barney Ronays second article in two days about our demise

Now questioning Pep’s desire to rebuild the team

Apparently no team has ever shown less desire on exiting Europe

It just reads as wishful thinking on his part

The media, opposition fans and pundits are all desperate for Pep to leave , some of our fans should take heed to that when musing whether we would be better of letting Pep go

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

You wanna an example of how indoctrinated our media are? Then look no further than SSN this morning.
Reporter standing outside Brighton's ground talking about their struggles this season and their inconsistency.

Goes on about how they've struggled against the teams around and below but have beaten top team 'like Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester Utd and Tottenham!'

No facts just they're a big name!!!!!!!!!!

Or give them chairs to sit on?

Perhaps we should make em sit on the food and eat the chairs.....and its liiiive !!

TNT are a flecking disgrace. The bias is even worse than SLY imo.

Never subscribing to them again . . .

What are pundits supposed to say when our team has totally disintegrated. I bet Madrid players are as mystified as everyone else about our sudden demise. We used to give them a game now were just chasing shadows.

There is nothing mystifying about it. We lost the best holding midfielder in the world along with all our defenders being crocked at various times, and having to bring them back when they are clearly not fit. Couple that with a midfield that have all gone over the hill together and you have what has happened this season. After the success of the Pep era he more than any manager in our history is allowed an off season. Although to listen to some on here you would think that he should be doing trebles every season.

 

[Tracking back]

Anybody mentioned the end of the Rag era yet?

They don't have to........ fortunately, everyone can see it for themselves.

I'm enjoying watching the rag's media coverage. The days of spinning and turd polishing is long gone.

Certain parts of the media are actually sticking the boot in. Which I like to think comes from a place of self annoyance and anger for backing the wrong horse for far to long.

It would've been nice if they had of mentioned it although I wouldn't hold my breath as it's been over a decade now. They also said nothing when Liverpool were struggling after ' the greatest Premier league win ever'.

It’s not the end of an era it’s a New Beginning

It’s almost like, deep down, they know Pep’s the best manager in the world and more than capable of turning things around and producing another dominant team but just can’t/won’t admit it. If he’d lost his desire, his ability, his character and the confidence of his players and bosses then surely they’d want him to stay and City continue struggling.

I'd ban the likes of Stone, McNulty, Wallace, Liew, Ronan, Delaney, Herbert, Carragher, Ferdinand, etc from the club as a result of the poisonous, unsubstantiated and spiteful comments and articles they have written and broadcast about the club and I'd ban Richards for just being an insufferable buffoon that is clearly being told what to say by his paymasters. Sad to think one of our ex players can let others slag off the club and players and not defend the club. He's become another Danny Mills. A waste of talent and a bigger waste of space

And I'd even start refusing to do pre and post match interviews. Let us take the fines the PL will dish out, it's time we stood up and fought back against these pariahs once and for all. We've wined, dined and given them the best facilities the club can offer and yet they repay us by tarnishing the club and it's reputation with impunity.

I agree we should declare the most vituperative and slanderous individuals persona non grata (or should that be personae as the plural?).

We should also provide a full-size cardboard cutout of Pep at a press conference, or a ventriloquist with a Pep-lookalike dummy. We could have some fun with that!

"What do you say to that Pep?"
Pep dummy whispers in his ear.
"Yes I know it was a fucking stupid question Pep but there's no need to call Mr Stone a big-nosed twat".

The irony of this is we only got it back last September to watch the CL.

I've got a firestick that may come in handy for future....

 

[petrusha]

Grata needs to be made plural, too. It'd be personae non gratae, I think.

I'd love to see us ban everyone who's been a twat about us in the media. However, there'd barely be any fucker left in our press conferences if we did that. :)

They'd then write about our 'empty seats' at the press conferences

Not sure if it's the right thread but a heads up, the BBC have something out called, Football On Trial: The Manchester City Charges.

Just listening to the first episode, Clive Myrie is doing it so hopefully not a stitch up.

4 episodes but more to follow after the 115 verdict.

It's on BBC sounds.

Despite Clive I fear this will be another BBC clickbait stitch-up. How can they spin it out for four episodes? The BBC coverage on this issue so far has been a disgrace. Riddled with mistakes and false claims from Stone and Roan. I have no confidence they will get it right.

Yes m8 I find them irritating when your forking out 150quid a month for sky. More and more of my mates seem to be popping up with them now . . .

I’m sure the blurb read as if they expect a verdict within the next 4 weeks, so they can have live/almost live reaction to it …

The media has been waiting 14 years to dance on City’s grave. A top four finish and FA Cup win will stave them off for another year.
