Media discussion - 2025/26

What's he said that should have been said years ago? What have I missed now.

He's getting grief for calling out refs.

Arteta has no self awareness. Did Arslpna NOT spend any money in summer?

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Fuck Sam Lee and the horse he rode in on.
Pep hasn't gone far enough, you poke the hornets nest long enough and eventually you get stung. Pep hasn't gone far done amazing to keep his counsel for as long as he has. It could and should have been said years ago.

I detest Sam Lee. I can't bear hearing his droning nasal Nottingham/ East Midlands accent. He's shi£te.

Has Pep Guardiola gone too far in his criticism of referees?

A complaint about a perceived refereeing mistake nine years ago might help explain the Manchester City manager's frustration with officials

www.nytimes.com

Yank Dipper fanzine at it.

Wtaf. Not a ruddy word printed when Klopp, Slot, Arteta, Dyche etc do it every week. Talk about bias and double standards

Fcekers the lot of thrse bottom of the pond lowlife fanboy clickbait merchants. They are an insult to everything that is decent, honest and not a one of them have an original thought in their pea sized brain.

* Martin Samuel excepted.

Ah right. Good on him.

Pretty sure GPC got refs not to get the gig at the swamp and I'm sure all the media were in bed with the ****.

 

[burning blue soul]

Penny for his thoughts on "these lar-dee-dar plastic glory hunting thespians" :D

 

[chesterbells]

Yes, a positive article about Pep, by Rob Draper.
So, for a change, not a sniffy snipe at Pep by the pretentious pair of prats - Barney & Johnny.
Watched Football Focus and saw how wooden and how old-fashioned it looked, with Alex Scott as anchor.
Not surprisingly, no mentioning Pep's decade of domination...

Rob Draper? Last saw him on Hold The Back Page decades ago. Genuinely surprised he hasn’t been retired by now.
I certainly wasn’t a fan of his opinions or his work back then.

Maybe Sam & the rest of the pricks shouldn’t ask Pep his opinion if he gives it is going too far.

Sam Lee is a ****!

Posted this in the Nypan thread after yet another factually wrong article in the MUEN
I honestly think most people on here (well the100 or so that aren't lunatics or children lol) could do a better job and have more basic knowledge about football than nearly all the ‘sports journalists’ about at the moment. I’m struggling to think of a profession that has plummeted in quality as much as journalism has

 

[Stoned Rose]

That Jay Boothroyd one has just described a player as “taking up the mantelpiece”.

FFS.

 

[bg1968]

Would love to pip the Goons on the last day , just to see that prick Merson back on the beak , the Goons cock this up this season the cokehead will be back in The Priory with his mate Tony Adams.

 

[big gaz]

I know, I know bbc web page on the match day thing rimming Milner and listed every club he has played for in the prem bar one, they just can not help themselves :-(

Wrong how ?

DPS in the Mirror tomorrow on Pep's decade of glory

 

[mayo31]

Sam Lee doing what he does best ?

He's exactly like the rest of the twats, it was fine with Klopp, Arteta and similar when mouthing off about refs/VAR etc.

Hypocrisy is crucial element in the make-up of these so-called "journalists".

I told people about this guy a season or so ago

Train v West Ham he was asked why he so negative about City, he got upset, when challenged he got aggressive.

He went on a podcast and on twitter had a pop at me, said I backed down when fronted.

Well it’s easy on a train when some boot licking City fans supported him to be the big man as he was then.

I know I stood my ground as did my mate who was there but we don’t have a following as such

The guy is a shit house ****

 

[surrounded by idiots]

He is.. I mean Paddy (The vet) is a blue

Or have I been Clarkied

The bloke who played Butch Dingle is a blue too, he viewed my house before I emigrated to Aus, and wanted to buy my signed City shirt on the wall, I told him its not for sale - he didn't buy my house either, the big bastard

 

[wattle]

Wrong how ?

The MUEN ‘reporter’ stated that if he came back to City he wouldn’t be able to play in any domestic cup competitions, which is bollox under the new rules, which every man and his dog knows. Just yet another blunder in a catalog of mis-information this week about City players or recently ex players

Standard Chartered accused of aiding Iran sanctions busting (again) according to the Daily Mail. Looking forward to sports washing articles from the usual reporters!
