Media Discussion - 2023/24

Haaland’s hates Manchester and is going to Real Madrid.

And Pep is going back to Barcelona.

More bullshit from the Spanish press and now Marca.

It’s hard to believe the Spanish tabloid press is worse than the British tabloid press, but they are.

I didn’t think you could find a bigger bunch of cunts journos than in this country but the Spanish media are proving me wrong.
Utter cunts!

Just opened BBC football … the headline about EH.

The journalists/reporters/halfwits/arseholes are either being paid by rags/dippers or are thick cunts who wouldn’t know which end of the brush to hold if the council employed them to sweep the roads.

BBC not fit for purpose.

Yes, I dont think you are far off there but I would say late 40s than mid 50s. I always remember a newspaper article circa 1998/99 describing us as a club ‘for the lads’ as most of our fanbase appeared to be early/mid 20s. I think that resulted in us, during our darkest hour, having a very passionate following (for good and bad) as well as a great away following. Put it this way I don't think the second half against Stoke 98/99, where the fans were galvanised and the direction of the club changed, would happen today. Most would still be stood in the concourse now.

That is a very valid point. No doubt it resulted in the highs feeling that bit sweeter.

Funny though I would struggle to remember any quarter final victory on the way to our fa cup victories but I still regularly think about losing to Spurs in 93.

Fully agree and on a similar theme
En route to Tottenham last Friday I asked about the 81 FA Cup Run and unprompted everyone replied PALACE 4-0 NORWICH 6-0 PETERBOROUGH 1-0 etc etc

Then I asked about the FA Cup Run in 2013 when we lost to Wigan in the Final
Only the last decade, but a lot harder without checking/googling

There are plenty of reasons for this, but the media don't help with the way they've diluted the competition.

Nothing more than client "journalists", bought-and-paid-for duplicitous, loathsome, media shills.

Not a well known fact, but, Oliver Cromwell was a Blue.

That'll do for me Tommy.

I wonder which one of the arseholes was paid to ask Pep about Haaland in the press conference? I'm going for that **** Stone.

Yes, the media, football clubs, managers and the all encompassing nature of Champions Lge qualification and the pot of gold.

Also I do think over saturation has played a part. I remember how exciting it was to watch the highlights of the cup tie v QPR when Ray Ranson made his second debut and Flitcroft played at centre half. Beating Villa away under Kendall with Peter Reids goal. Great to watch all the matches but you do lose the uniqueness of the occasion.

I did the test for 88 and can remember all the games, Hudds, Blackpool, Plymouth, Pool but still struggling with 2013.

BBC United - Mediacity, which is just another football media outlet, jumping on the made up story from Spain about Haaland not being happy in Manchester. And here’s me thinking like everyone else they know it’s a made up story, so they‘d decide not to run with it, but oh no. Rag c*nts!

After he scores another HT on Monday. Press officer should send him out to sky to give one of his sweary TV interviews. It's after the watershed and he can tell them how fucking happy he is then rip a beefy fart and walk off.

He's the original F OC :-)

It’s actually on the front page of the BBC sport twice… the fuckers love it.
