Media Discussion - 2023/24

You can't blame us for boring games. At the end of the day, it takes two to tango. If you want an exciting game the other team need to attack. I think Pep gave the boys a rest in the second half and just allowed them to attack when the opportunity presented itself, but not chase the game, We have too much coming up to waste our energy on a done deal.

Incidentally, I wonder if the Geordies look back on what lower level teams like Coventry and Utd achieved and how the Foxes went out and wonder, 'what if'? It was the cup, after all.

I wasn't bored winning the treble, or the numerous trophies we have accumulated over the last 15 years. The only people bored are the ones who cry into their pillows every night cause they don't have it all their own way anymore.

Completely agree that other fans are now picking up from the Media narrative that City are "ruining football", with their slow passing approach.
What is never mentioned that very few clubs attack City and have a go with open, attacking tactics.
Unfortunately, this weekend has seen the 2 Red Arse Cheeks clubs play a very exciting match.
But, the earlier League encounter at Anfield this season (a 0-0, bored draw) was the dullest match seen for many years.
Be prepared for many more ignorant comments on how City are getting left behind by teams playing attractive football...

Perhaps it's just me but I didn't find yesterday's match "exciting" at all.

Yes there were lots of goals, but you'll see lots of goals watching any under 8's game.

If watching two sets of players running around like headless chickens, both sides being equally incapable of stringing two passes together constitutes exciting and entertaining football then you can keep it.

Klopp with the foreign media. Yet the media will continue to blow smoke up his arse in England.

Of course this won’t be mentioned in the media. Liverpool fans throwing smokies (not flares) into the disabled section at Old Trafford.

It wasn't their fault

[BrianW]

Those sneaky Chelsea fans again. Anything to bring St. Liverpool into disrepute.

Tony Evans sounds like a right ****.

Nothing about Liverpool fans throwing smokies in the United disabled section from Tony Evans.

Just ask David Silva.

What is an ex football hooligan doing anywhere near a reporting job?

Anyone here talking about City being boring - You are the sheep they want to carry the message. You are the fans that believe WHATEVER the media tell you to think.

Its a non story designed to belittle City and our fans. And you guys who are fighting back against it - You're as sheepy as opposition fans who believe what the media tell them about City cheatingh for the last 15 years. Ignore it ffs, it gets no traction.

Yesterdays game was apparently the most exciting EVER! Yet it was bereft of quality, deflected goals, one of the teams being well know for not being arsed, I lost count of the amount of bad passes, what style were utd actually playing?!? Kick and rush football with a 2-0-8 formation - Thats not the pinnacle of football, its just the biggest fanbases being told they are more exciting and better.

Didn't know he was?

Just remember him from when he worked for a newspaper until he got himself sacked for suggesting Merlin's lad illness was a "distraction" from city being cheats.

Farther on,I saw a group of Juventus supporters, and one was wearing a black-and-white sun hat. It would give me more cover in the heat, so I swapped with him. Only he clearly did not want to part with his headwear. He had no choice. Sensing danger, he let me have it and looked in disgust at the flimsy, filthy thing I’d given him. This was not cultural exchange: this was bullying, an assertion of dominance. I remember strutting away, slowly, the body language letting them know how I felt.
Glass was scattered all over the street, studded with empty display trays. There was hysteria — and pride — in my laughter. This was turning into an excellent day.

Yes he’s an ex hooligan, wrote a piece about Heysel, a fairly honest account at that.

What I like is the high ground he's taken after all the shit things he's done and probably continues to do, he's a wanker.
