City on YouTube/podcasts/fan channels

"I know some folk take an instant dislike to fan channels, podcasts and vlogs and if you're one of them kindly go elsewhere, if you don't like them that's fine, this is not the place for you."


I quite like the 9320 pods for interesting discussions. Forever Blue (I think) is good for tactical insights on how pep sets up his tactics each game. Bolt from the Blue is good with prestwich Blue. And I listen to citizens abroad for their pov on city.
I specifically ignored that part of the OP since this is a forum.

noun. /ˈfɔːrəm/ /ˈfɔːrəm/ an event or medium where people can exchange opinions and ideas on a particular issue;

I also made a few points that aren’t to do with whether I like them or not:
I don’t think we should give free advertisement to ones of fans of other clubs, and I don’t like how these people can seemingly jump the queue for away tickets.

I don’t like how we promote the ones from fans of other clubs with free advertising via Bluemoon. Especially a certain few Rag ones who aren’t even Rags and are just actors playing the football world like a fiddle for money.
I don't think we are promoting them, just laughing our bollocks off at them.
And yes the reactions and behaviour of many of them are well acted and carefully executed to get the clicks = money so maybe the joke is on us....
 
I have one which is more a hobby as I simply love listening to former players stories from days gone by.

Tales of Blue Q&A’s

Over the last year I’ve had the likes of Rodney Marsh, Kevin Horlock, Steve Daley, Uwe Rosler, Terry Phelan and many others on.

Here’s Ian Brightwell.

That's a good one to watch. Ian Cheesman's blog seems to get a lot of stick but I love it. He gives a bit of history on places, gets interviews with ex players and gives fans a chance of a say.

Fair enough, I only added that paragraph because I started a similar thread six or seven years ago, when the football social media landscape was very different, and it got bogged down with posts that consisted of little more than they're all shit.

Premier league football is a global phenomenon, there's an insatiable appetite for stuff on high profile clubs and there isn't enough quality stuff to satisfy it, hence the proliferation of shite.

I want to read opinions on whether stuff is any good or not, what I don't want to read is a curse on all their houses because it gets us precisely nowhere.

Whether we like it or not fan channels, vlogs and podcasts are here to stay.

I think the best ones will be those that have a rotating cast or a selection of a wide range of views from a wide range of people rather than those ones where it seems to be the same person or same few individuals all the time trying to make themselves a celebrity.

The reason forums are so good as because we have such a wide range of views.

I don’t make enough time to listen to the podcasts every week, I think I should.

Yes Cheesey has his critics (tends to be personal rather than critical of his product) but I like them because he doesn't go for clicks and sensationalism and having folk scream obscenity after obscenity over a player or manager. He doesn't pontificate endlessly about tactics or other nonsense but simply allows fans of all ages a chance to have their say.
 
I see the appeal of podcasts for individual clubs, but for the life of me, I don’t understand why watchalongs are popular.

They're like watching a biased radio commentary of the game whilst watching someone person in their garage or spare room.

It‘s not that hard to find an actual stream of any game. Surely that’s far better?

Then listen to what your favourite football goggleboxer thought of the game afterwards?
