Media Discussion - 2023/24

I wonder what the coverage would be like if they ever get out of the Group stages!

It’s been about Newcastle today, they’re not getting the “oil money” crap that we get.

They're not successful and a big enough threat yet.

Does Torino go as far as this, anyone?

I think Bradford played Lincoln on the day of that terrible fire, but I don't recall the media ever caring over much about the victims these days.

Because they made it very clear immediately after their takeover, that they weren't going to put up with it.
We didn't.

It's things like this that make me question whether the general population are generally stupid or it's just a case of them being so desperate for bantz that they hear what they want to hear.

Pep quite clearly was laughing at the fact it was a mischievous question, not at whether or not united are title rivals.

EDIT: I'm not calling you stupid, more the reaction to this in various places.

Agreed. The headline is misleading, but I was more highlighting that fact that one reporter, for whatever reason, felt the need to mention manchester united either to get a response, or because they are paid to follow (support) the club by the taxpayer.

He’s got to be on the payroll to write and publish that. He just has to be.

I love the conclusion...

"The soul of Manchester United pretty much went up in a puff of smoke, once somebody realised the commercial opportunities that lay before them.
And since the abandonment of both the Munich victims and their families, and their own self-announced relinquishing of the claim to even be a football club, the world can see that their chickens have finally come home to roost.
Satan always gets his payment; the modern club's motto may as well be 'Saving Our Souls''.

Is the winners of the champions league playing tonight?

Put on sky sports news at 1pm. United, Newcastle, Bayern, Kane, Spanish kissing, Arsenal…

Is City definitely playing?

Back to a break after 6 min.

Ignoring our achievements is the new attack.

Clearly orchestrated now they can’t say…can city with billions spent and pep with no messi finally win the champions league zzzzzzzzz.

As a matter of coincidence United were flying back from Red Star Belgrade in 1958 and landed at Munich to refuel.

Newcastle are getting much less hostility than we got considering they are actually owned by a Sovereign Wealth Fund (ie a state). One possible reason for this is that they are much better and more proactive than we have been with Public Relations and Communications.

This is correct on both fronts
