Media Discussion - 2023/24

Surely it'll be because there are a high percentage of United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc fans in the media. Man City has historically been a team supported by locals - maybe that's changed now with young kids supporting City despite being from London or wherever but in the past the 3 clubs I mentioned above would have widespread support and I guess biases work their way out through the media if the authors support one of those sides

I get that, but any real journalists (not the toerags with their own poxy YouTube channels) should rise above personal bias and report things professionally. That they don't any longer, speaks volumes of the standard they are at nowadays.

Seriously with all the shit that's gone on politically, the way people have been influenced to vote, the way we have been reported to on major world events, do you honestly think professional journalism exists in this country any more?

That's a fair and sad point mate. I am old school from the days when they were. Knew a good few when working at the Mirror. Long since retired or gone of course. Then again, I think that point can also be applied to much of life in 2023...

Professional journalism still exists, but it is definitely being continually displaced by incompetent, sensationalist, or malicious infotainment (notice I didn’t call it journalism), that much I can agree with.

I am hoping that growing awareness of that, though, will reverse the trend.

I freely admit that may be a misplaced hope, however.

Already done it.

Knowing our luck, he'll probably post a picture of John Terry in the nip.

It really is sickening what these old school, Shill, Journalists will write anything to keep an absolutely shite United team and a club falling apart relevant and in the headlines. They have absolutely no shame whatsoever.

Once again the floppy haired c*nt excells himself.

Does Torino go as far as this, anyone?

Handy to hide in the pocket of your crombie or Harrington at aways.

Trench coat and solatio's surely ;)

As the 10th Premier League club falls into American ownership, the focus on City and Newcastle plays blindly into the hands of hedge funds, leveraged buyouts and corporate America.

A Trojan horse is being driven into the very heart of English football, in plain sight. The days of drafts, franchises and World Series will soon be upon us, of that I'm sure. The meritocracy will disappear and our great game will disappear into its own arse.

Think about this for a while. If Leeds, Ipswich and Birmingham get promoted and no American owned clubs are relegated, THIRTEEN Premier League clubs will then be American owned. Leaving only one more club to fall and hey presto, the 14 club threshold is achieved. A sprinkling of USA stardust has recently arrived in Birmingham. Coincidence? Maybe. Part of a concerted effort to get another American owned club into the Prem? You decide, but never underestimate the hidden tentacles of Wall Street.

In my opinion that 14th club has already been earmarked as the final piece of the jigsaw, in place, good to go. Already hyped to fuck in the USA, friend of the NFL, multiuse/multisport stadium in the most romantised all-Americanised capital city in the world. NYC brothers from across the pond. The Hotspurs of Tottingham have been flashing their knickers at corporate America for years.

Once Spuds is bought, game over.

Meanwhile, the gutter press will still be salivating about our 115 charges, still placing an asterix against our achievements, still waxing lyrical about the red-shirts, whilst the game is stolen from under our very feet.

Look forward to a cook-out and pretzels at Mary D's in the not too distant future.

Hell yeah..

100 fcking %.
The American Redtops have been, and are, the biggest threat to our English top flight football.
