Media Discussion - 2023/24

Can you imagine the hysteria in the English football media if Tent Peg and Rashford or Klopp and Salah had won those awards instead of Pep and Haaland.

The English football media have pretty much red washed any news of Pep and Haaland’s awards.

As we have all now agreed, not at first, there’s a clear and orchestrated agenda and campaign against City by the English football media.

I just read the bbc article on Palmers deal. I’ve no idea what he’s earning as they haven’t even guessed & multiplied by the term of his 7 year contract.

He was on 30k a week at ours so expect he has trebled his money

Met a very bitter Blades fan on Sunday on the train. Hostile about “oil club” City. Said our spending was obscene. No awareness of the truth about our owner. I put him right on investment in the community etc but he was too brainwashed to get it.

The myth is we still spend what we want, how many times do we get the Man City can buy anyone they want without the truth of the past 5 years spending and our willingness to walk away from deals when transfer fee exceeds our maximum valuation? Cucurella being last seasons example, but we’ve had plenty more as we all know.

It’s not just here, we were talking to a few Ajax fans on the train back from Dortmund last year, they were all under the impression we were “cheats” wonder who fed them that line.

We told them about the hateful 8, all cunts. We had a good laugh with them, as we got off the train, one of them said, “Liverpool, cunts”. Made my day.

If you actually think what Lineker says about us on MOTD vaguely resembles what is written about us on RAWK then you are truly beyond help!

More about the msm in general than lineker, I only see the the odd bits of globalist bollocks he spouts on social media.

Nothing in the Daily United(Mail) either.

Just sent this to the BBC. I don't normally do complaints but the lack of coverage of the awards is breathtaking. Name me the last time a british manager and player won both awards?
It's futile, I know. I was careful not to mention naming us or the winners.

Yesterday, at the UEFA Champions league draw, they also awarded the men and women's Ballon Dor accolades which you normally report on. This was an occasion to be celebrated as an English team's Manager and player won both men's awards. It was a compliment to the EPL and affirmation that it is the best in the world - but you chose to ignore this. You are carrying the fantastic speech by the womens coach. Just for once, the client journalists in your sports department, could have put their petty jealousy aside and actually done their job for once. I presume it is down to previous association. Your /our facilities should not be used for personal agendas. It is not he first time. This is indicative of your political coverage. I'm sure you don't realise how low your organisation has fallen in the public's estimation, but you have to realise that a couple of natural history programmes and the odd comedy, don't make a public broadcaster.

2019 - 2nd story on the bbc the day after van dijk had won uefa player.

I never watch the bbc but have no objection to you or anyone else who enjoys seeing their license fee frittered away on the likes of Lineker and numerous other leeches, paying for it. I just get annoyed that everyone else is expected to subsidise your viewing habits.

It certainly should be a free choice to decide what you want to pay for.

Filed under Women’s Football, so it get’s a mention on the BBC football main page. (Nothing about Pep or Haaland)

Your ‘office grunts’ comment must have been aimed at BBC researchers, surely?
