Media discussion - 2024/25

[half & half derby scarf]

Morning all. Thought I would take a quick look at the morning media and it's reaction to Liverpool crashing out of the C.League.

Media massaging Lverpools' egos??? Check.
Media saying how unfair it is to finish top and play PSG?? Check.

Not really seen many reports anywhere praising PSG and how good they were over 2 legs. Lets be honest the tie should have been over last week but how the media bigged up Liverpool for them to fall flat on their faces last night. Yes they had a few chances but lets be honest, they were fucking wank over 180 minutes and totally deserved to lose the tie.

Again, ask yourself why the media refuse to ever criticise Liverpool, how they always make the excuses for them?? It is a simple case of economics and not biting the hand that feeds you.
PSG pumped us in Paris and we rightly got criticism but balance is a thing the media simply do not do unless it suits their own click, income driven AGENDA.
Clear and Obvious...Remember those words that Khaldoon said a few years ago. Now I get it and have gotten it for a few years which is why I rarely engage, believe but more so let it bother me.
Enjoy your day blues. Focus on ourselves. Plenty to look forward to, those away days in league 2 are going to be fucking brilliant. I will still love my club 150% and my life will not change whatever happens to us. (Maybe ticket prices will reduce but doubtful). Don't let the media bother you. I always repeat the same I know but life is great without it.

Yeah, the better team won. End of story. Not many spinning that narrative. Can you imagine if it was City?

Is it the end of an era as City thrashed by PSG?
City put in their place by Enrique masterclass
End of a dream as treble hopes smashed by plucky PSG
Best team in Europe? Think again Pep

As it happens, I've nicked a pair of Darwin's boots and will be putting them on Ebay shortly.

The media have always given Liverpool a tongue bath. Its expected. I kind of like being the outsiders (despite our massive success). I hate the media, and it suits me to support a club which gets right on the media's tits at the expense of their darlings.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Jim Shite earlier saying, more than once, that it was sad that Liverpool were out. Don't remember similar sentiments when we went out.

It was two hours of are city in terminal decline IIRC?

 

[Fordyboy46]

I love it when Liverpool get beat. Watching how differently the media treat it really brightens my day and confirms the bias. Breakfast TV this morning was laughable.

I think silly Sally is a dipper not 100%, but those other two are totally clueless about football

 

[cheekybids]

BBC Pat Nevin: You never know, that slippage from the acquisitions team might recover, but the problem is that others have caught up and City can no longer blow everyone out of the water financially due to PSR.

The not so subtle insinuation that we won solely because of money on the BBC and FFP etc did not exist. They continue to be the worst of the fucking worst.

Pat Nevin…… the thinking man’s footballer, maybe not eh.

Not sure you’ll get much for 2 size 11 left boots.

[Micky Blue]

According to Phil McNulty (BBC Sport website), Nunez' dipper career has been a "mixed bag".

WHAT?
Talk about polishing a turd.
He's been dog wank

I think you’re forgetting in his debut in the Community shield he scored and Haaland didn’t and therefore according to the dippers and the dipper loving media he’s better than Haaland.

Missed the football last night, was it one of those special nights of European Football at Anfield? Did the Kop spur the team on to new heights? Is this the greatest team in history to rival 1970s Brazil, or the Barca team that swept all before them?

They're better than Brazil 1970, but not quite as good as Plymouth 2025.

No on all accounts thankfully!

 

[ancoats]

I seem to remember the then chairman of the tarquins claiming in the media that the new stadium would not affect player recruitment.

then went on to sell almost all their best talent

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Will he become t

The mask is slipping with him now.
With what he said to the ref at the Everton game and this… he’ll be full turkey teeth by the start of next season.

Will Slot also become the new "face" of Red Bull & Trivago?

 

[ancoats]

the media pushing on this new so-called stadium fully controlled and timed ? You can almost count on it that when the fans rebel and protest, just throw them a bone, The Biggest Stadium in the world for the biggest Club in the world with our 1billion fan base,

Loony tunes the lot of them, even if you had a 200.000 stadium other clubs are still better than you in a 60.000 stadium, They just don't get it do they

His teeth aren't white enough !!!!

His teeth aren't white enough !!!!

From memory you don’t qualify for the new teeth until your second season of your contract

The kop sucked the ball into the net, wrong one, but still
