Media discussion - 2024/25

I'll recycle a previous post of mine regarding this balloon:

Straight outta Craggy Island.

Love it! I take it you're referring to that influential Catholic band, 'NWA'?! ('Novenas With Attitude'?!)

I notice too Sweeney's plagiarising of Trent Reznor's 'Hurt'.. '(Pep's) Empire of dirt', trying to elevate his prose. These modern day scribblers who purport to be sports journalists really aren't fit to refill the ink in the fountain pens of the likes of Cardus, Todd, Blanchflower, Parkinson and so on.

And as I keep saying since yesterday's game, 25 games to go, 2/3rds of the season left yet. Let's see where we are at the end of January eh, Sweeney old son?

Reading some of the direct quotes on previous pages. Incredible journalists get away with this. Certainly would not be printing that about United / Liverpool!!

...because the vast majority of so called football journalists are utd and liverpool fans. They act as their official fanzine cheerleaders.

Hopefully Noel won't be posing for selfies with the rag scum again.

Wrong Sweeney mate!

Think the thing that is really getting to the media is City's fans reaction to the recent slump. What they would give for a negative fans reaction or a dipper/rag response, but nothing and just shows how different and better City fans are.

Can't believe my ears...Jordan calling out a section of the dipper fan base as ungracious for not just giving pep grief but in general...jim shite was gobsmacked...incoming death threats for Jordan....

Swear he is after, or working on a Pep interview to add to his series of chats!

On a slightly lighter note.

Just been watching the Wagatha Christie documentary and it transpired that Rebekah Vardy was also trying to sell stories to the Sun about Mahrez (who was pushing for a move to City) not turning up for training at Leicester

Yeh that’s fine … well not really but what I’ve read on previous pages is borderline criminal. I’d expect it on a fans forum and even then a more extreme fans forum!

I say this as someone who likes to see City win and not a passionate supporter.

The 115 push annoys the hell out of me. Innocent until proven guilty!

Nothing hollow about City’s triumphs and they’ve been a joy to watch

 

[Gazza]

His shit club pretended to win one league title in over 30 years.
I'm still not convinced it actually happened though.
Like the moon landing,we've only got the word of those who claimed to have been there when Monkey face Henderson lifted the trophy in an empty stadium that it actually did.

There was more atmosphere on the Moon.

And just like that, yet another Grauniad article dancing on our grave comes along!
