Media discussion - 2024/25

I am not posting Cheesy's vlog in reply because it is unfair to focus on 2 people who are American City fans. They were asked about the protest and fooball tourism. I like Cheesy's vlogs but I think the questions were unfair on them because although they are in one sense football tourists because they came from America, tourists is a term for fans who are not interested in City but just the occasion. They were clearly big City fans and I am glad they saw us win. The interview though did illustrate a problem with the tourism argument.

Far away fans rather than tourists, also the guy was a Manc ex pat so he lost his accent a bit but not his love for our great club

Neil Custis a PROPPER piss head. Used to chat with him in Didsbury in the bad old rag glory days. He could get a bit sarcastic but would get a full volley back from me. Always insisted he was a Newcastle fan but always backed the rags in a discussion.

Isn't that Shaun Custis who used to get drinks thrown on him in the Fletcher Moss?

That's harsh on primates. Stone's just a raggy ****, same intellectual level as Jamie paradise, or fanny mummy's boy mitten, without the "good" looks!

Came across as border line retarded when he was on talk sport with Stefan, add in a heavy dose of Rag delusion/City hatred, dressed like a Happy Mondays roadie and a face like a blistered piss pot

Yes he said he was a Newcastle fan last night, his dad had travelled down from Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

He's recently been in hospital after a very bad fall which left him a serious way.

Blimey, will he still be able to play the violin?

Look at the way the Sports media is suddenly mourning and acknowledging that KDB might have been a bit decent now he's leaving.

Apart from slimy of course...

The outpouring of praise will be 100 times more when Pep does the same.

He was blessed that a part of a thick **** came up & he was hands down the best person for the job.

History…they need to understand theirs because if it wasn’t for City helping them out they may not exist.

Kevin de Bruyne: The questions around Man City star's departure

Kevin de Bruyne's announcement that he will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season raises several questions.

Simon stone is the only **** who could do a piece like this on the day KDB is reveered as one of the all time greatest. What a **** he is and sums the paedophile hiding bbc up. Anyway have a good weekend blues.

It’s more annoying knowing that Slimy will have the first question to Pep at the pre match pressers.

Is the correct answer.

Like many here I am under no illusions about the sports media and it's biases.

Now that City is going to court again over the unfair advantage of shareholder loans , having exposed the incompetent and rushed workings of the PL as they cobbled together a " fix", the silence from the media is deafening.

Remember the immediate and vitriolic outrage when it was leaked that City were going to arbitration over APT ? Wall to wall coverage . City were going to break football. Etc etc . What a contrast . Could it be that yesterday's announcement came from City , not leaked by a big six club to one of the journalists they have in their pockets ? Or could it be that they don't know how to spin it as it feels like a slam dunk ?

Somehow they are going to have to find a way to say that a rich owner investing in a club is different from a rich owner finding sponsors to invest in a club . One is fine , nothing to see here , but the other has to turn out their pockets like a naughty schoolchild and wait for the headmaster to come back from an extended jolly before they can gain any grudging permission.

Whether City intends to pursue the case in court or simply to use it as a negotiating lever remains to be seen . But I'm looking forward to seeing how the media respond. Who are the cheats now ?

The cheats are the ones who ensure the rules snare one whilst ensuring a clear run for the other. How many of these players that Brighton signed & sold for top dollar would have been purchased without owner loans?

We keep hearing about clubs who are doing things the right way & when you compare it to the alleged cheating it’s hard to differentiate.

Phil McNulty on the BBC website has a nice respectful piece. He has enjoyed watching us.
