Ade Durham on Talksport

Going to the match on the tram etc. - I look around and there is the whole gamut of fans - young and old etc. etc. People in their 70's and 80's making their way there in the pissing rain and all conditions - following us home and away - will never have thought in their wildest dreams we'd experience and witness what they have/are. Then you think of the witch-hunt and you do feel it's hanging over us all - sometimes you can sense the reservation and apathy - incredibly unfair, made up on the hoof rules by the entitled, to dampen and undermine what we as fans are spending our hard earned money and savings on - yep it becomes deflating and incredibly sad at times. Totally unfair, as it is on Everton and Forest etc.
Wave after wave of shit. No appreciation. Now and again we wallow in defiance - but let's face it - rather we weren't being put through this constantly.
Every angle of negative reporting is chucked at us - and of course favourable coverage or turning an unquestioning blind eye for the usual suspects -
Liverpool hacking/industrial espionage - swept under the carpet.
Liverpool allowed what is in effect a propaganda style pre-game Haka - observed by all broadcasters and promoted as a shining example of knowledgeable fans - never mind the following 90 minutes of quiet.
Arsenal - suddenly pretending they have a meaningful pre-match anthem - embarrassing in the extreme, but never questioned, never-mind mocked.
Liverpool - attacking and damaging team's coaches and endangering those inside, that come to play them, in a premeditated, criminal ambush - no action from anyone.
United - A tramp buys a small % of a crumbling club - he's being used as a foil and a buffer - but hey - he's the second coming.
Scruffy Jim taps up employees from rival clubs - his alleged M.O. of asset stripping continues - it's astute business practice!
Just basic journalism about the Arsenal's Letter-headed letter and the catalyst meeting - a doumentary? a Panorama? Dispatches? - No - fck all!
City's regeneration of East (and more) Manchester? - a byline if we're lucky.
But....
Pissing down, cold evening, traffic chaos, early kick off - some empty seats at 7.15!!!! Hold the FRONT PAGE!!!!

Well done mate, great post, says it all as far as I’m concerned.

Like him or loathe him, what a segment this morning on TalkShite!!!

Called out rags and dippers fans for "weird" ganging up on us. Called out constant shite about the ground not selling out as bollocks with pictures being taken before kick out to create "and obvious false narrative"

And finally, the money shot (pardon the pun) he called out the premier league, rival clubs and third parties for constantly trying to grind city down, demote the club and steal trophies back. He's not surprised we're fed up and so is he!

Incredible stuff

Is it too late to build one statue for him ?
 
The Adrian Durham stand.

It’s only fitting after he stuck up for the fans and the club on Talkshite. Bar Martin Samuel, and one or two others, who also stick up for the fans and the club.

The rest of the rabble are just paid red shirt shill c*nts! That’s right, you are. You know who you are. And why you are.

First and foremost, Adrian Durham is a fan of football who loves the game without bias and tribalism.

One of the few in the media who is knowledgeable and passionate about football. He actually gets around grounds to watch games at all levels. His factual reporting on Talksport won me over. I recall him attending as many games as physically possible at the World Cup, rather than just the obligatory contractual ones, as a mark of his enthusiasm.

I think he does/did matchday round ups for TS so has to know his onions? It says a lot that he put his head above the parapet to specifically call out rag and dipper supporters for trying to perpetuate the myths and vendetta against City. Clear and organised and not in the interest of the game.
