Media discussion - 2025/26

[bluemc]

Only seeing quotes from Pep on BBC Sport at the moment, about how long he's staying and answering about if he needed a break.

I'd like to know what questions were asked to prompt his responses if anyone knows?

No f*cking way any of them would have been asking Ferguson about him going when he'd been at the club ten years. No f*cking way.

Most of those journos in the room have had the last 10/15 years of their footballing lives ruined by City's rise. In particular by the dominance Pep has overseen.

They hope that when Pep goes we'll drop off in the same way the rags have, and this will open the way for the red shirted team of their choice to see some success with City out of the way.

Much like the 115, this is what they are clinging on to, so rather than celebrate what's been achieved by Pep at City, their fandom and red shirt loyalties won't allow them to say anything other than "when will you fuck off" in whatever guise it is asked.

There was an Andy Dunn article in the Daily Mirror yesterday, about Jack not being able to play.
Although it did say that the Premier League were denying the current most exciting player in the PL, to play, it read as a hatchet job on City being the bad guys.
Oh, Andy Dunn supports Everton...

Imagine this game is the last game of the season and a win for City means the title, or even just a CL place, either at the expense of the rags or dippy boys.
City winning 1-0, Everton get a penalty in the last minute and Jack hammers it over the bar. I would think the very same media companies would be very supportive of the lad…

I thought this was a meme until I googled it, and to think the guardian pay this idiot to write this meaningless shit :)

Anything but an arse-licking question, was "rewarded" with a press-ban for the reporter.
I really hope the media have the bottle to fully expose his bullying behaviour, when he croaks it.
Perhaps a few referees might also find a pair of bollocks and share some stories ?

If they did come out about his behaviour and other stuff,they’d just have a good giggle over it and laugh it all off as typical baconface..

To be fair, it is nearly 3 years old.

I know. Dunn is a thick Scouse. What a surprise that is...

This might not be to everyones liking. But, I would like a little inserted screen with the wanker asking the questions. They would then see themselves as an utter cun* on a YouTube playback.

He said he'd think about it in 2035.

I'm just watching now. An answer none of the numpty amoebas expected. 1-0 Pep.

Yes, but "Jack the Lad" is now the media's darling again.
He has been unshackled by Dynamic Davie Moyes, playing attacking fun-filled-football.
Bet, he now doesn't get booked by opposition fans either...

I remember discussing this article with family and friends before the game against Brentford, just before most of the squad went off for the World Cup (they all seemed to be thinking about the World Cup that day, not the task at hand, so we lost 1-2.. to be fair, they made up for it with the Treble a few months later!)

When discussing Liew's yawnfest of an article, everyone was of the same opinion.. as in 'quel wanquer'..

Further, I remember making the observation to our group that the media was full of herberts who, because of their tribalism, would never appreciate players like Silva, Yaya, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Aguero, Kompany, Bernardo, Haaland and so on and so on.. and that if you dropped the said herberts in Salzburg at the time of (some of) Mozart's finest moments, they'd still be a bunch of moaning, negative f**kers disregarding his musical genius.. even when it's glaringly in front of them they'd still not recognise it..

Chris Sutton can't believe that city aren't letting jack play against us on Saturday .

Nothing to do with City… it’s a PL ruling

I am getting fed up at the moment with claims in the media that the Liverpool v Man Utd game is the biggest game of the season, between the two biggest clubs in English football. If it is so, then it is marginal. A lot of people who watch Man Utd games, and read their articles, are in my opinion City and Liverpool fans who enjoy watching them struggle.

I looked at Youtube subscriber numbers to get an idea of club popularity. This does suggest that Liverpool and Man Utd still are the best supported clubs but it's by no means as one-sided as the media coverage suggests.

Club	Subscribers (m)
Liverpool	11.9
Man Utd	10.4
Manchester City	8.8
Chelsea	6.1
Arsenal	4.9
