Media Discussion - 2023/24

Bizarre article in the Mail by Ladyman headlined;

How Newcastle United - led by co-owner Amanda Staveley - have learnt lessons from Manchester City's scattergun approach in 2008 to find Premier League success​

Bear in mind we won the league just 3 seasons later, but that isn't mentioned at all in the article. Instead the focus shifts to the Champions League;

"Still it took them three years to qualify for the Champions League and another two to progress beyond the group stages"

And this "scattergun" spending ?

"City made their fair share of early missteps - Robinho, Wayne Bridge and Roque Santa Cruz were three"

Just to remind new fans, Wayne Bridge cost £12m and Santa Cruz barely played through injury. Robinho was a world star name who arguably put City on the international map.

I often wonder if these "journalists" actually get back-handers from the clubs they write about. I hope so because, if they don't, they really don't know football.

Well if our spending was "scattergun", what is Chelsea's over last year or so and the rags' more or less ever since the aguero moment.

Made this point a couple of times, if it weren’t for Chelsea’s disaster in the market, surely the spotlight would be firmly shining on the rags. They have wasted a fortune.

A rotting fish goes off at the head first !!

Arnold is a lier.

The statement is a tissue of lies,half truths,mis-truths and obfuscation.

A investigative journalist should request copies or transcripts of all internal records for public consumption.

Staff,under guarantee of confidentiality, should be invited to declare their understanding of events, by time line, if it differs to that of 'Arnold the Liar'

Hold this charlatan and his vile clubs feet to the fire for transparency, clarity, scrutiny and sanction !!

Liar, Liar tongues on fire !!

the best of a bad bunch but just cos he uses big words in a vain attempt to sound poetic doesnt make him a decent commentator

I also don't see the massive difference between Drury and others. He'll be conforming to the usual standards we're used to like Tyler before the end of the month.

I like to think we're mind fucking these clueless cunts.

This morning that narrative was being spread on SSN about wafter thin squad and weaker than last season.

Fun fact: Winning anything less than a rare treble will be perceived as being weaker.

I personally think we'll have a little blip which the WhatsApp wankers will all hit the wank wall then hit the ground destroying every **** we face. In other words the new typical city template.

:)

If that's the new typical city I'll happily take that.
Even now I'm expecting us to concede in the last minute of extra time during the champions league that finished months ago

I know a lot on here have sacked sky off. It seems like the bbc have as well. Can someone please tell them we've signed someone, sky reported it over an hour ago, the bbc must be waiting for a telex message to come through.

So will Ten Hag be asked this week about his strong support for bringing Greenwood back?
