Media discussion - 2024/25

Yep, I saw that.

Going back to something I pointed out earlier in the thread, many outlets are focusing on whether it was “right to send Trossard off for kicking the ball away”, completely ignoring that Oliver would have have been perfectly justified in issuing a second yellow for the premeditated full-force barge in to Bernie’s back with absolutely no intention of playing the ball.

It’s like focusing reporting on the fact that a domestic abuser smashed their wife’s car after beating her.

It’s utterly bizarre, but also not surprising given the state of football reporting and the dependence of generating impressions and click-throughs for the outlets to stay afloat.

It’s a dangerous feedback loop that is only making broader discourse worse and worse, leading to people—even on here—trying to justify and rationalise players intentionally trying to get other players injured (i.e. battery) because they said something (which was restrained and rational) many months ago that hurt their feelings.

Both times they have dropped points this season due to 100% correct red cards their entire fan base has turned into tantrum throwing 3 year old children. The ragdips of London for sure

Oliver made made mistakes in the game, however the most controversial one (as agreed with by ex refs) was the error and subsequent decision not to rule out the Arsenal goal where Walker was called over for a chat. Yet, the media have given this almost no ongoing focus
 
Just istened to the ratboy podcasts and spittyboy going on about who have been rivals over the past 30 years when going for league titles

Man U v Arsenal
Man U v Chelsea
Man C v Man U
Man C v Liverpool
Man C v Arsenal

All teams that went toe to toe for titles over a few seasons

So why the fook does he continue to bring Liverpool v Chelsea into it ???

At any point did Liverpool threaten Chelsea for the league or is he basing it on cup games ???

Obviously you never saw Ian Wright play for Palace @ Maine Road, with his partner, Mark Bright.
A pair of niggly, narky average players who were very aggressive.
He has developed this friendly persona who seems enthusiastic about football.
That's about all, in terms of talent or insight as a pundit.
If anything, he was a coward a footballer as would follow through on goalies.
Another sour ex- gooner, like Keown...

We should hire Eric Nixon as interim goalkeeping coach and take him down to the emirates with us.

Image if it was the other way round, Starmer would have Oliver in strangeways

Followed through with two feet on Schmeichel against the Rags, I recall. Shithouse of a challenge - regardless of the situation.
