Media Discussion - 2023/24

Hello, not scrolled through the topic so apologies if already discussed, but when we played Burnley, Sky posted how much we spent on defenders v Burnleys spend.

I didn’t see it in any of the other games Sky putting up spending charts mid game. Wonder why Sky keep wanting to paint us as the huge spenders where as Chelsea have spent £900m in like 18 months.

All teams spend alot now, yet the media still seem to want to keep banging the drum we are the almighty spenders who ruined football.

It's just Sly sports trying to legistate for their expensive subscription fees

Cheers for that, always a good read.

I know a lady who is quite high up in the Times group. I was chatting with her yesterday and mentioned the main reason for buying the Times on Sunday was for Mr Samuel’s writing. She said she sees him quite regularly and promised to pass on my ( and all City supporters’) thanks for his unbiased articles. I promised to buy him a pint if he ever brightens my doorstep.

Don't need a bank account like City's to watch PL now

It’s great though seeing the rags disappear from view on this stuff. They’re slowly becoming invisible. Used to be be rag shirts everywhere on TV ads…no longer.

It's called 'City: PL Champions Again' - not the most original title and given its context of 5 in 6 you can hear the disillusionment of the person who came up with the title.

Not seen it yet but its on at 3pm today.

It was worth a watch to be fair. Again it showed just how together and intense Pep and the team really are…Gundo will be a big loss on and off the pitch.

The Guardian Saturday and today, The Observer, all printed issues, Burnley - Manchester City game was never played. I just cannot believe it, I thought my eyesight is failing me - which it does bit :) - I went through all sport sections again this morning before coming to the office and again I could not find a mention of our game. What the hell is going on there?

Jordan defending Chelsea against FFP on Talkshite. I wonder why he'd do that for an American owned club...?

I watched it last night. Decent enough, actually. Rodri seems to have a strong presence in the dressing room.
