Media discussion - 2024/25

Yesterdays lesson in media manipulation..

Ziegler and his story of State owned clubs being made to sell to new owners. He is of course factually incorrect but what does he do? He sensationalises it so all the bedroom tarquins, rags, scousers (insert any hater of city) hang on to his very last word therefore creating further anti city rhetoric. It just keeps us niceley in the public eye with his negativity. I did chuckle when having my morning brew yesterday thinking how many city fans will be panicked by it instead of just again taking it for what it is. Media control of how you feel.

Since we lost to Spurs and threw the 3 goals away last week I have not listened to or read any story with the slightest hint of bitterness or negativity towards City.
Please fellow blues. I emplore you to try it.

Would the rules about state ownership affect non league clubs or have they given up on that now.

This team had better beat that lot from the wrong end of the East Lancs on Sunday! We were a joke on ‘Have I got news for you’ tonight! My club is not a joke!!!
Win on Sunday lads please.

To be fair it was a good joke and topical. There was no sense of any agenda beyond the quip

Oh it was, I definitely laughed, partly because of the way they were ‘explaining’ it was football. Plus Paul Merton sounded empathetic rather than snide. It was just the implication and the thought of us having a lazy team….well 25% of them anyway. :-) ;-)

I’ve just read that Meetin is apparently a Spurs fan. At least he wasn’t gloating

I was just looking up whether I could find that out. I thought I’d heard he was but I wanted to be sure before I posted. Thank you.
