Re: That Question to Pep

Got to agree with Murphy there.
That journo was looking to make a name for himself and all he did was alienate Pep Guardiola from any further interview opportunity.
Investigative Journalist opportunity? yeah right Jim. Stop taking the piss.

I expect most football journalists will have taken a back-hander at some point. I'd be staggered if that wasn't correct.

Indeed. Doesn’t even have to be cash-stuffed envelopes. They’re highly dependent on accessing avenues to particular information, and the days when top ‘players’ and clubs need them more are long gone.

Thought I'd watch the FA Cup highlights on the BBC....

Jason Mohammad presents highlights of the FA Cup final at Wembley. Victory for Manchester City against Watford will give them a second major domestic cup trophy of the season.

Fuck me! How petty.

Come on. Give them a bit of slack.

They're all hurting.

Its not the media's fault City fans are so upset about the media, it's the clubs. According to this no mark anyway...

The stench of irony that emanates from this paragraph is almost too much to bear:

"As increasing questions have been asked of the sports-washing of their Abu Dhabi owners – using City as a PR tool to legitimise a corrupt regime – City’s fanbase have become staunch defenders of something they actually know little about."

It's been quite astonishing to see Abu Dhabi's transformation into a supposed rogue state akin to North Korea since the dippers and a handful of embittered journalists started banging this particular drum.

Abu Dhabi should aspire to be like the UK and/or the USA.

"Staunch defenders of something they actually know little about"

We know patronising bullshit when we see it.

The Rag, Dipperpool loving media are an utter disgrace.

A great mailbox in F365 this morning.. I was amazed. Even a great letter from a United fan, Mandisi MUFC. No kidding. Not everyone out there is a hypocritical moron. Take heart.

I absolutely despise some parts of the media. This is a targeted witch hunt. There is a clear agenda here. I hope the City legal team and execs are ready to go to war.

What goes on in the Middle East etc I don't agree with totally, but its not City's fault. Fuck its goes on all over the world. I just hope we sort the feckers out.

Gary James can problem answer that for you, anecdotally of course.
