Media discussion - 2024/25

[Platt Lane 59]

Imagine the scenario, Scruffy Jim going up the aisle like daft Donald asking for spare cash then getting the packed lunches (made by Tent Pegs missus ) out so they don't have to pay for in-flight meals. Sipping his tap water he peruses his spread sheet to see how much they could save charging ex managers / players for match day tickets. At the airport baggage carousel he grabs his tent and begins his long walk to the nearest campsite to the bollox dor venue.

That's the clever thing about Scruffy Jim.
He is cutting back everything "for the good of the club"
Bet he doesn't get the Megabus back to Salford from his tex exile chateau though...

Media lie about the rags attendance all the time saying 75k sell out when there capacity is 73.5k oh they even announce that when there is 60k

It's only 73.5 because it was built under the old regs ! Wouldn't get away the spacing of seats nowadays

Not to mention the size of them, must be uncomfortable to sit in them for 90 minutes every game.

Most walk out before the end so not 90 minutes suffering. 60k empty seats and it's only 6-1. Lucky bastards.

BBC Verify....I watched Ross Atkins do a couple of pieces on politics prior to Verify setting up and he was I felt really good.

Verify starts and he does something on us, pile of crap full of untruths. I was hoping he'd be on the ball but, like the rest of them, only when it suits.

Absolutely, pal.

Btw, do BBC Sport articles have “Verify” them too or is it just BBC News?

Looking forward to a week of media bashing towards Villa with those favourable decisions against Bournemouth!

The fact Villa Park looked half empty when Bournemouth eventually equalised will be lost by most too!

Villa haven’t won four in a row ! Or upset the cartel……. Yet.

this is just Unbelievable, a Journalist to basically say that Wenger who until now is known to be one of the people who changed football in England to say he is stupid , its just.....

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I always thought it was the highest attendance outside of Wembley anyway.
I wasn't there though;-)

But were you at York ?

Wenger's intelligence and opinions have always been consistently stupid, it's just that he said them in a French accent, grew up in a small French village/coffee shop and was cosmopolitan so the pathetic journos fell about themselves trying to paint him as some philosopher.

Sam Allardyce has done 5 times more for the progression of sports science, of data analysis and performance analysis, in this country than Arsene Wenger ever did but he looks and sounds like he drinks Tetleys and likes a big lad up top so nobody seems to know

Whatever this tits thoughts he's managed to play the little Englander card too with the gratuitous use of French a couple of times in that piece.
