It doesn’t bother me, but the following irks me somewhat:
1. The covert (or in some cases, overt) racism implicit in phrases such as ‘Arab money’, ‘oil money’, or, especially, ‘dirty’ money.
2. The media is supposed to be - and holds itself out to be - impartial. On the contrary, it is packed to the rafters with UTD and Liverpool.
3. Most of these scribblers of nonsense make no effort to hide their allegiances. They make every effort to hide the hypocrisy of UTD and Liverpool fans criticising financial might and ‘plastic’ fans.
4. This wouldn’t be so bad if the majority of them were not themselves plastic fans. For fans with no connection to these working class cities, who support these clubs purely because they were the big clubs when they were growing up, to slag off a club with a working class fan base for NOT having busloads of tourists to ship in to fill seats for a carabao cup match following an CL away trip.
It wouldn‘t be so bad if the few city in the media (or indeed the club themselves) gave a bit back.
