Media discussion - 2025/26

Broken record I know

But ffs just gone on BBC sports page and log and behold we’ve paid for that arse wipe Stone to have a free all expenses paid trip to USA to cover Rags v WHU not a mention of WHU in the report other than stating it’s who they played and beat 2-1 if anybody cares

So decided to flick Talkshite (bad move I know) on for the 1st time in a long time yesterday afternoon on the way home from work.
What a fucking error!
Leanne Sanderson literally slandered us accusing us of cheating our way to our success over the past 10yrs when discussing the situation at Newcastle and how unfair it was. I saw my arse, rang them up and told the researcher that they need to remind the cockney turkey teethed fat rag that Newcastle voted for those said APT rules that she is now saying are unfair. I normally (as you know) am very calm when it comes to the media and how they use our club as some sort of justification for anything that is wrong in the football world. When she said "I don't put Man City or Chelsea in the same bracket as United, Liverpool and all the other history clubs" basically made me realise that it is all for a response and muggings here took the bait. Not 1 mention of our money we had won over the past 10yrs or our growth with revenues etc. Literally made me see red the fat little rag ****.
Leanne Sanderson sums up all that is wrong with modern day so called presenters/pundits. They let their bias cloud any chance of a fair an balanced debate.
I can't believe as a 51 years old FOC that I let her bother me so much.
Anderson needs to stick to womens' fucking football. Sorry if that is sexist or anyone takes offence but she knows the sum total of fuck all about our club.
Sometimes really wish our legal department would take a firm stance with these people and make an example of them.
Anyway - Have a good Sunday all. Looking forward to Wolves away now.

Hook, line and sinker.
You've given them everything they want
  • You phoned them (kerching)
  • You're blaming our club for what they said

I have to disagree.
I’d go further and say she’s what’s wrong with modern society.

Shes a complete moron, someone who knows very little about little, commenting on financial matters her tiny mind can’t comprehend.
But somehow has been given a platform to spread her ill informed opinions.

I mean she was a shit women’s footballer at a time when women’s football was incredibly poor.
She’s clearly not a journalist, fuck knows how she’s been given a job as a radio presenter.

History clubs you say….

Liverpool first won the FA Cup 61 and 59 years after City and Everton respectively.

Up until 1973 City and liverpool had the same number of major trophies each, 8 so if City have no history when did liverpools history start?

Liverpool only became successful when the Moores family bought it for them.
They were breaking transfer records while they were in the second division (incidentally and ironically when we were champions of England)

The dippers don’t get the hypocrisy of the allegations they throw at us when they say we bought success.

The first time Liverpool won the FA Cup win was in 1965 when they beat Leeds. The 1961 Cup Final was between Spurs and Leicester City.

yes that’s well put. I’ve no idea about her football ability but she is an example (whenever I have heard her) of that toxic mix of bias and stupidity which permeates most discourse these days on almost anything.

She's a bitter rag who lets her fangirl overtake her punditry.

She was just as bad as the CWC.

Nikita Parris joins London City Lionesses on two-year deal

England forward Nikita Parris join newly promoted London City Lionesses on a free transfer from Brighton.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Apparently, it isn't worth mentioning that Nikita Parris played for City, the team she has played the most games and scored the most goals for (England not included)

I posted a few days back on how the BBC football pages and the rest of the media reported the sad passing of Wyn Davies and the conviction for Drink-Driving of Paul Ince, pointing out the differences in approach to each story.

Davies, who played a mere 3% of his 600+ top class matches for The Red Filth, was heralded as a 'United Legend' to the exclusion of his other clubs, whereas Ince, who played 35% of his career 600+ games for The Filth, was described as a 'Former England captain' with absolutely no reference whatsoever to his main career club.

So it is too with Nikki Parris, the same blatant digs and denigrations aimed at our club throughout the media, contrasting sharply with its treatment of the favoured cartel clubs, whatever the story.

Parris has made 34% of her 220+ career appearances thus far with City Women, far, far more than with any other club. During her time with City she won a WSL title, two FA Cups and two League Cups. She also won 'WSL Player of the Year'. While playing with City, she became the WSL record goalscorer and was ranked 2nd on its list of all-time 'goal assists'. And yet the article about her preferred to highlight that she played for Manchester United Women and Arsenal Women, for whom collectively she contributed nothing like the level of goals/assists with City and only appeared in one FA Cup final and that as a squad member.

Should this matter? It's trivial from certain angles, I get that. And as the discussion here today regarding 'St Helen's Blue in Exile's' encounter with the (quite serious, in my view) bile aimed at our club on 'TalkSport' shows, maybe we should just ignore the whole thing, I get that too.

Yet I do think we should call these people out whenever and wherever this stuff occurs. I do so with friends who support other clubs, for sure. Doing so has forced them to realise that maybe their own clubs need to get their houses in order. How one achieves that kind of awareness with the wider media is impossible to say, given how 'clickbait' drives its profits, the agendas driving the media and the tribal loyalties of the press pack.

I just hope that when we are cleared of the 115, it will draw a line from which the potentially libellous (as in such outpourings from 'TalkSport') to the downright childish (eg the Nikki Parris story) will become things of the past.

I'm not going to hold my breath, though..!

Great post and I agree fully, I do remember reading your post that you mentioned.

If it is that trivial though, why do they keep doing it lol

Wankers.

Cannot stand this awful screecher. Never forget she was a huge troublemaker when in the England squad in her playing days. Fuck knows why they continue to use her.

Not sure how I am blaming our club?

Yeah, sorry, badly worded.
I'm just tired of reading (not from you) that 'the club should do something about this', 'what is our media team doing?' etc, etc.
This to me is playing into their hands as it's setting the fans against our own club for something that they (media) have said. I just wish more would take your previous view of ignoring it all

While climbing her career ladder, she got quite a few rungs stuck between her legs.
