Media Thread 2020/21

Guy Mowbray is a York City supporter but he has also got a strong affiliation with City. He was going to do a visit to our local supporters club early in his career but was advised by Motson to keep his club to himself. He can get away with a lower league/non league side.

York City, you say? Ummm.

Not another one there!

Talk Sport (I know, I know) last night was appalling. Jason Cundy saying City have spent all this money and cant score yet Liverpool also qualified with a team full of home grown players......

Kept praising Klopp for being brave in blooding all the kids and when anyone called in to say had all the regulars been fit none of them would be playing they were shot down

Now this doesn’t look good about the UAE

Pentagon Says UAE Possibly Funding Russia’s Shadowy Mercenaries in Libya

The Defense Department’s inspector general report comes just as Trump aims to sell the UAE billions of dollars’ worth of arms.

I'm sure David Conn is on the case as I type....

News to me , the Dippers injuries ? Can someone send me a link this has gone under the radar.

Sorry, I've googled and researched all the newspapers, not a dicky bird about any injury.

Just looked at the nominees for Sports Personality of the year. Two words: Jordan Henderson! Guess their voting bots/ indian hackers have been primed.

Heartwarming to note Sir Marcus will receive a Special Award. Might be washing my hair that night. Shame as SPOTY used to be an annual highlight. These days it seems to be about social media manipulation with healthy PR backhanded.

There were less snide jibes by the commentators as well. Though they couldn't help themselves with the ongoing bogus narrative about Phil Foden's game time. He has the third highest number of appearances in our squad this season (14) just below Rodri (16) and Sterling (15). Apparently this doesn't count because he is not getting enough starts in the PL (as if the CL is somehow not as significant)
Anyway Foden has now had 88 first team appearances and is possibly the most successful 20-year-old player in world football with the trophies he has won (don't forget his Man of the Match to win the Under 17 World Cup for England). Perhaps he would do much better with Martin Keown managing his career.

This was the u17 squad that won the world cup with the teams they were with at the time

Curtis Anderson (Manchester City), Josef Bursik (Stoke City), William Crellin (Fleetwood Town)

Timothy Eyoma (Tottenham Hotspur), Lewis Gibson (Everton), Marc Guéhi (Chelsea), Joel Latibeaudiere (Manchester City), Jonathan Panzo (Chelsea), Steven Sessegnon (Fulham)

Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Morgan Gibbs White (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Angel Gomes (Manchester United), Nya Kirby (Crystal Palace), George McEachran (Chelsea), Tashan Oakley Boothe (Tottenham Hotspur)

Rhian Brewster (Liverpool), Philip Foden (Manchester City), Callum Hudson Odoi (Chelsea), Danny Loader (Reading), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal)

Arguably, other than Foden, Odoi, Sancho and to a certain extent Sessegnon the rest have not really kicked on so why don't the media ask those clubs what has happened to their progress

I for one, blame Sterling

Great post

Has Cavani been charged yet? Surely there's either a case to answer from his post or not?

if they charge him they give him time to respond

Keown comes out with some shit but at least he has a voice you can tune out, unlike any scouse pundit.
