Media discussion - 2024/25

[Platt Lane 59]

How many times have Arsenal and Spurs competed directly for trophies? It is all very contrived as a Derby match. Just the usual London media bollocks

Unfortunately, don't think it's the London media trying to "big up" the North London Derby as being a clash of the titans.
Spurs get justified stuck for being flaky. It's been a while since they've been the top team in North London ?
I feel it's just a mainly Sky tactic to get behind Arsenal's title charge.
With a new manager and no big signings, Liverpool will struggle to mount a title charge.
It's Arsenal to stop City - that's their objective...

I think your right.

Big games City v Dippers last few years rivalry, Rags our derby, Arsenal rivals but I think they realise Arse v under performing Dippers & Rags is a bit meh.

There is always a London media bias towards the London clubs. The Spurs/Arsenal game has been overhyped for years. It used to be intense in the 70s. These days it’s a battle of the London posh boy fans. All very overblown. North London Forever the plastic anthem. Oh dear!

But we’ve now got someone from the North telling us it’s massive. It’s not, Millwall v West Ham is better.

Sky sports trying to build up the rags v Barnsley like it's Boca Juniors versus River Plate.

Lad at work (who hates City) today fawning over the Birmingham vs Wrexham match last night, just the same as the media do whenever they play, is it just because their Owners are Yanks or that they aren't putting any red shirts noses out of joint at the moment, that it's great for the game when they invest and dominate? Just curious how their opinion differs so much.

Spot on! Amazing isn’t it how both those teams owners ploughing money into the clubs is fantastic for the game and a real Hollywood story plastered all over the news. But if some guys from the Middle East do that it’s disgusting apparently!

Quick, Football Insider write, 'Man City relegation - who will leave?'

Amazed they haven't run a "Poll" on who will jump ship ?
Bet, Ten Bob says he wouldn't need Harland as he already has a better version.
Also TAA can do Rodri's job, but better...

Quick, Sam Lee says Real Madrid are waiting for the 115 result before they try for Rodri.

Manchester City's era-defining Premier League commission hearing could impact world sport

Man City will hope this hearing leaves their recent successes unstained and unchanged but the action taken by the Premier League could redefine recent footballing history in England.

Wow. Nostrils Harris not mentioning human rights abuse or sportswashing when talking about us.

Still it's full of mistakes and bitter remarks and events that will never happen.

Shock horror.

A strange article. Trying desperately to be impartial but not quite managing it. And, as you say, full of strange mistakes. Ah well 3 out of 10. Must do better (he gets an extra mark for not repeating the nonsense that was printed in the Independent just yesterday, that there is no time limitation in this case).
