Yeah, not to derail the thread but the football coverage is just a reflection of how generally rancid our press has become. City bingo is just one of a myriad of examples.
the problem is when freedom of press is challenged then people will say we are becoming a nanny state like russia, what they refuse to realise is that at least russia are honest with the way they manipulate the press, in this country its far more insidious.

Like nottingham forrest not wanting spitty and ratboy there today, there is outrage in the press that they shouldnt be allowed, how dare they, but why, why should two people be allowed to drive an agenda with no recourse, the problem with the press these days is that they have quite simply forgot their place, they are there to report events and that is all, their opinions, their spin doesnt matter and never will matter, who gives a shit what delaney, sly stone etc have to say about anything sports related, their qualifications are no better than anyone reading this thread apart from they may express their opinion slightly more eruditely than us but in the grand scheme of things they dont see things we dont, they just talk, talk, talk and say nothing.

Following on from revelations by @tolmie's hairdoo that letters have been sent out to the worst offenders can we identify any sudden changes ?

Jordan seemed to have a change of attitude last week.
Be very interesting to see if/how Goldbridge‘s output changes. He’s definitely said defamatory things (on the basis we are innocent) towards the club in recent weeks.

On the one hand, because of the nature of his platform he might be considered of insufficient importance to warrant such a response, but he does have a significant reach and profile, plus he’s a plastic rag **** with tangible assets to go after.

If they’ve sent them out to the likes of Tebas, it’s surely not sustainable to have someone with his number of followers continuing to spout lies following that. Surely he’d have to get a shot across the bows too.

I’m feeling warm inside that Mansour may have said the exact words when drawing up a list…..

He was as bad on Talkshite on Friday morning. It came up on our YouTube so I watched for a few minutes. The gist being Brighton rolled over for City. He really is an insult to amoebas.
Yeah I heard about that, I believe he was nearly in tears.
It's dawning on him thar City are hitting form again at the business end of the season.
Filed along with Alan Davies and Piers Morgan as a bitter, entitled and deluded Tarquin with a selective memory.

Agree wholeheartedly and that is why I never buy a paper or listen to the drivel on TalkShite or Sly etc., It goes for all newspapers, only tell you what they want to tell you.
 
Pretty much sums up clueless punditry in the football media.


Nope its simply pandering to a bunch of gloryhunting twats :(

Thats why we continue to have debates about where its gone wrong at United when the reality they are nothing but a higher end midtable club and the main focus should be on the teams now, not some club that simply lives in the past.
