Media Discussion - 2023/24

[WillinGlossop]

I looked this morning online to see Haaland & Guardiola win uefa awards… came up with Hindustani times, Dubai news, Pakistani news, Vietnam news , Chinese news, Japanese news, USA news etc etc etc not one bbc or sly sports news article… the blatant articles on both about the England women’s coach winning her trophy but nothing about City… the PR at City is being shown in shirt sales and media across the world whilst our media shun any positive news about us… the jealousy is there for all to see… the media in this country is in a campaign to save United at all costs…

It’s called context. Which comparison would you prefer? The UK has historically had one system, other countries have theirs. It is a valid comparison when the point I’m making is some people think the bbc should be stopped. My point was just because it has faults that’s not an argument for stopping it, because I think if that happened most people would regret it afterwards, and not realise what they’d missed.

Maybe a referendum’s needed. I’m sure that would settle it …

Don't think the issue is about not liking the BBC, it's all about having it forced upon us .

We went to Berlin after the Dortmund match and joined a load of Ajax fans in a sports bar for their Union Berlin game.

The regular "scarfers" were sound and all respected City, even though they idolise Tent Peg.

10 mins before the game the Ajax Ultras turned up and took over the cellar bar. Probably 100 of 'em. Didn't engage with them after being advised not to by the scarfers. When Union Berlin put the first half penalty away they kicked the living shit out of about a dozen Berlin fans. The riot police locked them in the cellar, turned the power off and kettled them out at full time.

Absolute nutters.

100 ultras set upon a dozen Berlin fans? Wow, must be hard as nails.

Did Pep and Erling win anything the other night ?

Page four in news on City site, we buried it well with a load of other stuff.

Guy has axe to grind every day. News is today we made 400mil from academy sales once it opened.

Look at this gem from Delaney - being called out for it in comments. Lol

Completely ignores the fact that a club has to develop academy players that other clubs want to buy. Which we absolutely do.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Orchestrated, planned, premeditated.

It’s actually quite sinister how the narrative can be shaped

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Of all the football pundits across British broadcasting, Gary Linker is the one I least dislike, which is likely the highest praise I can offer. ;-)

Fair comment.

On the other hand, it's like saying Hitler was your favourite Nazi

According to Max Rushden on the guardian pod, Sterling now looks like the carefree Liverpool Raheem Sterling. I wonder where we went wrong.

Don't remember us playing Luton every week

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.

Should have asked him what he thought of Sufc Saudi owners

 

[WestGorton]

It's a people kicking a bag of wind around and they get paid to write about it. I made a big mistake trying to do something that mattered.
