I enjoyed this tweet this morning:

Ally Fogg is without a shadow of a doubt a milkshake thrower lol.

Bless him and his little world in which everyone that doesnt agree with him is a fascist.

Even by the Guardian's standards this is low....

Football plays with fire as it merrily fans the flames of hate and division

....Football rage is there most obviously in the self-contained shout-box inanities of the internet. At last weekend’s FA Cup final there was a minor media furore as a lone, well-refreshed Manchester City supporter stormed the press box and began to offer up rambling brain-thoughts about anti-City bias, conspiracies against the little man and the inexplicable trend for publishing newspaper articles about Premier League golden boot winner Mohamed Salah.

It became a kind of confirmation event, proof that the angry social media presence among City’s fanbase is indeed present in the flesh; a support that appears to have never been so upset even while watching their team win a sublime domestic treble....

This tribalism has been weaponised, expertly. Firstly by broadcasters and newspapers, who have become practised in fanning the idiot wind. Red against blue, super Sunday showdowns, overheated clickbait feuds. All of this has been good for business. And secondly by something more sinister and managed. Like Orwell’s two minutes in 1984, rage can be a useful thing too.

City are right to resist Uefa’s investigation into financial fair play if they feel it is in error. They may well be exonerated at the end. But the tone of this resistance, the aggressive statements, the idea put out there that this is all some ill visited on the disempowered, is at best cloth-eared and at worst a glimpse of the hard edges, the regime behind this extraordinary project club.

Barney Ronay is a professional lubed up buffoon with a limited intellect masquerading as an intelligent football journalist.
He’s taken a week to write a puff piece defending another of his corrupt colleagues.
Not much different to the puff pieces on no marks the agents are trying to get sold.

The gruaniad are part of the agent cartel corruption, don’t believe a word the bent ****s write.

Er, that tweet appears to be supportive of City fans. Maybe a drop of milkshake will improve your comprehension skills.

I find that there are far too few Lego depictions of our treble by the media.

It’s unconscionable, really.

Haha maybe it would.

So used to reading nothing but negative about us lol.

My bad.

I think he's a damned fine writer, and when he sticks to football it's a real pleasure to read unfortunately his world view is completely alien to mine.

Top of the Dailymail sports today - United treble obviously. What next? The day Preston won the league 130 years ago?

 

[moomba]

Imagine thinking we only hate sections of the media because the club put out a couple of press releases and is fanning the flames.

They really dont a clue about us.

Barry Glendenning on guardian football podcast thinks Arsenal should boycott the europa final out of principle that it's hosted in Baku, even though it would result in european ban, loss of hundreds of millions, deny their fans of potential silverware and deny their players the chance to play in a final... These public school boy hacks are living in another galaxy.

Just like his public school pal Barney Ronay, Glendenning is another preening posh boy who likes to mock and patronise working class football fans. The Guardian is infested with these sort of writers. They have no pedigree as proper journalists or track record for breaking stories but can write flowery prose. It's why the Guardian is one of the worst performing newspapers the media industry has seen with circulation down more than 50 per cent in the last decade. Sports journalism is being destroyed by these sort of imposters.[/QUOTE]

If ADUG had purchased Everton, do you think we would be seeing the same hysteria and negative stories that we are seeing in regards to us?

Only if they won 4 League titles, 4 League Cups and 2 FA Cups.
