Media discussion - 2025/26

It isn’t naive in the slightest. It was done with full knowledge of what the reaction would be of the English media.

It was done (a) with the full knowledge and approval of the club, just as Bernardo and Pep’s earlier comments were, (b) having been thought about carefully before those comments were made, (c) in full knowledge of how it would be reported and (d) despite knowing how it would play out.

The management of City might be many things, but naive is not one of them

Nah, it was done out of emotion. Nothing will come from it in terms of stopping dodgy decisions happening again, they'll probably just get fined

So easy to dismiss. The pile on will be immense now especially if we get away with a foul or a pen etc etc.

Rodri says we are being reffed differently and I believe him. The newspapers will constantly deny that claim as “football conspiracy”. I do remember them all deny hacking phones until the evidence came out…

Lot of twisting going on here.

City not playing great and ref/var is two completely separate discussions that overlap and determine football results. We could be playing great and get reffed differently like in the past. This team isn’t as good.

We need to keep saying that the club is getting cheated.

You have just made a very interesting point. (Thank you)
Someone will say the refs are bent and posters come on and say 'if it was true, how have they kept it quiet all these years, how come no one says anything '

Well the phone hacking scandal has run for 20+ years and not one journalist has ever outed it. Even when 'stars' have shown in a High Court, evidence that implicates editors and journalists, they have still denied it.
 
Just put transfer show on their talking about prices city have paid for as they call plug n play premiere league players that Kaveh face is picture to behold more so when they said just look at fees for lesser players
 
What do you expect mate, they've been saying the same thing for the last 3 or 4 years about pep.

Let's take bets how long sky sports leave the Rodri story on their app.
So far it's been updated 2 or 3 times.

I'm going for all week followed obviously by the comment from the Premier League and pigmol about it.

The press in this country absolutely hate us.

It's fucking crazy isn't it?

If we don't want to ban them due to a bleating storm in the media, the easy answer is to have technical issues in the press area or just start a slow revamp of it and relocate the twats into the South Stand with their laptops and a voucher for a pie from the concessions.

We'd have full self exclusion....result.

Quiite amusing of Holt to label Rodri a deluded "loser." In fact he is one of the most decorated players in world football for club and country. He has won the bloody lot. I thought he was quite measured in what he said.

It’s all to sell to the red masses of plastics around the country. You speak to most fanbases outside of the big three red pricks and they’re either fairly positive or indifferent, maybe a mild jealousy or dislike but I get on with most other fans fine.
 
Holts language (or the headline writer) is unneccessary and for me deserves some action from the club.

I remember someone years ago calling one of our players (maybe MDM) an idiot and being disappointed that the club didnt appear to support him.

No problem with OHIAC disagreeing with what Rodri said. But shouldnt be able to call a bloke thats won just about everything a loser without some sort of pushback from the club.

Holt believes he has every right to call into question Rodris character but Rodri has no right to question the referees character.

The media believe Rodri should be banned for doing it, I wonder what they would say if City felt they had cause to ban them.

Jordan reckons it’s sour grapes & Arsensl are just outperforming us. We’ve dropped 11 points from a possible 18 in 2026, a ridiculous amount of contentious decisions, battling injury & fatigue & we are only 6 points behind the greatest team in the world. Let’s be honest if corners had been judged properly we’d be out of sight.

Let’s get it together City, we’ve been here before & put the fear of god into these cunts!
