Media Discussion - 2023/24

Yep a grade A ****. Giddy as fuck when Chelsea scored, audibly downbeat when we did

Unbelievable. He did not even try to hide his obvious bias. I could not decide if he was a closet Chelsea fan, anti City or simply routing for the underdog.

His voice definitely cracked at one point when he was going on and on about the penalty. I’ve never heard a commentator sound so upset about a decision in a routine league game in early November

He does it every time the dippers win and he thinks their is an opening for them
Really poor
He creates his own narrative

Let’s face it, he shouldn’t be working in the media at all after that spitting at a child inciden, sky have no morals.

Judging by the coverage on BBC Breakfast you would have thought that Cole Palmer scored seven goals and single handedly destroyed City yesterday.

Palmer stood out in an average team , we let him leave because he was never going to stand out in a world class team , he's notched four penalties and that is his claim to fame , the bullshit in the media is only there to wind us up , lets judge at the end of the season who is the better buy Doku or Palmer by the amount of trophies in the cabinet.
We all know that answer.

I think he actually started crying at one point

maybe because Haaland scored and his pr project Nunez keeps missing open nets

I don't think he particularly stood out yesterday. Scored a pen, had a good run which Ederson saved but other than that he didn't do a great deal. Sterling on the other hand was far better and easily Chelsea's best player.

Never liked him, was always full of shit and I think Beglin was his cocom many years ago and I can’t stand him.

We've had some shockingly biased coverage since 2008 and all that but the most awful in my memory was in 2011 when we played Dynamo Kiev away in the UEFA/Europe Cup, all down to the Drury/Beglin combo.

It was like it was the 'Andriy Shevchenko Show' for starters. But worse, City were ignored, laughed at, patronised, disregarded throughout by the two commentators in an appalling presentation of the game to those of us watching back home.

Drury can be a good commentator but that day he let himself down with an unprofessional performance, seemingly being sucked into the negative 'bantz' that had been developing around City over three years or so.

As for Beglin, well he's just one of the long list of self-entitled Red Scousers of limited football intelligence who spoil the televising of games for so many viewers, whoever they support.

First time I've seen 40 million pounds of income described as a loss.

And pure profit as he was an academy product. This is exactly what our chairman expects of the academy, the odd success such as Foden & Lewis, with the rest contributing to the bottom line by way of sales.

I think he is being built up to Messi status and being used as a stick to beat City with - the one that got away. Apart from a very good goal in the Super Cup, does anyone remember Palmer having any kind of impact coming off the bench for us?
Good luck to him, it was a good move, but for both parties.
