Media Discussion - 2023/24

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

So the uk sports media are bang at it again...with englands defeat against iceland they led with an image of Saka who only played for a fraction of the game....

Its the Raheem Sterling treatment again

And yet some (outside of city especially) cant see that our owners are being portrayed the same way - as all bad and the enemy

Kinda like any time the media uses an image of City players literally any time football finance, expense, or rule breaking is used in literally any capacity? A bit like that?

If this is regarding the Sun article, then it's pretty obvious why they used the Saka picture.
Saka launched a paper plane during the game and the sun linked it to their headline 'Plane Awful'

Did you point out that Evra is a prick, was a prick aged 10, a prick growing up in France, became a gobshite prick when he signed for the red mardarses and last night was guest prick for the world 11?

What an obnoxious little prick he is and still is.

Only saw a bit of this, as it's full of people "projecting themselves".
Did "the prick" go off injured ?
Saw his early challenge on a non-player, which looked dangerous.
How did his team get on ?

what was this?

Someone from that shitty website wrote a headline comparing the legal case against the premier league with the death of Rob Burrow, i think it's been taken down now.

pretty sure he does that every morning

 

[BlueAnorak]

Yeah - This morning was special though - I thought he would explode watching the first 2 minutes of his diatribe on YouTube.
Pure clickbate.
I watched, I smiled, then after a few mins I went and did somthing worthwhile.
Jordan is a complete and utter knob head.

That football365 crowd have to be the biggest shower of shit ever
A headline flashed up on my phone, titled "ranking our players on who will leave quickest after our expulsion"
Didn't open it and I won't for them but genuinely how do they get away with comments like that and is it for all clubs or mainly us?

It's weird, because afaik the chief editor or head writer or whatever stupid as fuck title they've got Sarah Whatserface is apparently a Blue.

It is just a fake news site. They don't seem to have any editorial control. It is a sort of vehicle for loons to self publish content with no accountability.

I always thought that Sarah Winterburn was an Arsenal fan, but the site says she's a Huddersfield fan.

It seems that writing the utter clickbait falls to Stead and Ford.

Ah fair. No idea why I thought she was one of us.

Since when did Souness join the anti City hate club? I thought he was always fair to us on sky but since he left he's done nothing but slate us everywhere.

Yep, follow the money.

I posted about this on Saturday, especially in his weekly column in the Daily Fail, which I would bet is ghosted on a revolving weekly basis by Holt, Ladyman, Grubby Herbert, Raith Al Wotsit et al such is the bile and vitriol he has started spouting about City. A complete volte face since his time as a fairly objective pundit on Sly Sports.

Interesting to see his nodding dog impersonation as jordan was ranting about getting us expelled.

Can only hope that Mrs Souness gave him a good hiding when he got home!
