Media discussion - 2024/25

[Rory Bluelow]

The interview Bajkowski gave on Talksport yesterday was truly bizarre.

Basically only spoke about 115, City getting relegated and Pep wanting to fuck off.

Not the first time he’s been on Talksport with snide City comments either.

Who on earth does he think will buy his book when he goes on national radio with what seems the sole intention of pissing off blues.

Bizarre

The sooner the MUEN goes tits up the better.

The rancid bitterness of the Telegraph's "football" journalist, cartel loving, cadre seeps from the pores of every article.

They wake, work and sleep in pain. Continually bemoaning the fact that their beloved clubs, the ones they also support, are no longer good enough to scoop up footballs top prize on a regular basis.

Long gone are the days of brilliant football reporting at the Telegraph from the 70s and 80s. Peter Green, Manchester football reporter was an amazing read. City, United or local club.

The rot set in the 90s.

By the 00s they started employing fanzine writers (of the then top clubs) for clicks to complete the descent into first mediocrity, then decay.

So sad for a once great sports newspaper.

I don’t remember any such comments on the grannyshagger’s shinner….

Your final line sums it up for so many of us.. and not just the MEN but the whole, rancid mess that makes up the UK football press and media.

I grew up reading the likes of national sports/football observers such as Neville Cardus, Hugh McIlvanney and Michael Parkinson, together with local writers of the calibre of Eric Todd, Peter Gardner and (yes!) David Meek.

All of them were journalists above everything else and they were (mostly) objective in how they brought match reports and other related sports/football stories to their readers.

Today's childish scribblers, with the odd exception such as Martin Samuel, are light-years behind those named above when it comes to journalistic talent and integrity.

I subscribe to the telegraph and generally swerve the reports and go straight to comments. It's a sight to behold, the general readership are in denial,, it's like reading rawk or redcaf, love it.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Do any of us really give a flying fuck how it crossed the goal line. I just count Haaland's goals. The RDAHMeedya want to denigrate no matter what! It was an exceptional athletic attempt. Oh, and it went in for 2-0, so fuck off you Biased Broadcasting Cunts!

So do I - I posted the same comment on the Wailing and gnashing of teeth article about City breaking a record.
So you will know who I am if you read it.

What is odd is that if you listen to the MEN City podcast he is very much pro-City.

As you’d expect on a City podcast.

So the question is, does he moderate his anti-City opinions for a pro-City audience or does he moderate his pro-City opinions for an anti-City audience?

 

[surprisedbygrass]

Talking of pro City podcasts have I missed something when I ask why the BBC dropped We're Not Really Here ?
