Media discussion - 2024/25

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Ducker in the Telegraph reports on our game yesterday. Ninth paragraph extolling the length of time we have played at the Etihad and remained undefeated: "It is an extraordinary run from an extraordinary team coached by an extraordinary manager."

The tenth paragraph? It's a suggestion that it's not the 115 charges which, apparently, the rest of football eagerly await with anticipation, but Guardiola's departure!

The third rate hack is supposed to be reporting on our game yesterday. The RDAHMeedya can't help infusing their badly penned scribblings with the notion that we will be whipped by an illegal rulebook.

Pick pick Glendenning accusing the club of cheating again.

"Masters of obfuscation"

Glendenning the football journalist that covers the the English Premier football League - hates the English and has no interest in football but the dreadful Guardian still pay him a wage to report on it.

I saw Blackpool at Maine Road. I can't remember whether Stan turned out that day but Don Revie did, and he scored along with Bobby Johnstone. And I had five ribs broken at York in the crush when they let in the 250, 001st into the away end.

Five broken ribs ay York away.
Tis a sign I tell thee, tis a sign;-)

Canapé? Isn’t that something the Rags need to stop their leaky roof ?

Funny you should say that. At the West Ham stadium the digital advertising boards are showing the message "Got a leak? Get Gorilla Waterproofing".

I know it's a petty act ..or i think it is by MOTD...but has any one got an idea as to why our match day attendences are never shown. Aee we tge only ones. I imagine it is a giggle from producers to keep the "no fans" sh*te myth up. I had an on line arguement with a Norwich fan who said tgey were as big a club as us before tge latest take over!! I mean ffs doesn't anyone read any books or even google! This petty stuff not acknowledging our fans just helps fuel the myth!

City don’t release the attendance until later

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

Didn’t BFS recently say something about the other clubs being jealous of City?

 

[levets]

Record attendance at their own stadium not the national stadium. If spurs claim that then they are clutching at straws imo.

They also had less than 30k at Wembley during that period

BBC get their attendance figures (and all other data) from Opta. If the data doesn’t arrive before the show, the attendance isn’t shown. It’s not unique to matches at the Etihad and does occasionally happen for other games. City do seem persistently slow at releasing crowd figures. Not sure why?

Sky already claiming scum have been robbed at Wham.

Just waiting for BBC to follow.
