Going by that logic having ipswich, southampton and leicester in the pl last year also made it a pointless competition

Thats a good point, however, at least they got to the PL competition on merit..

 

[Blue Til Death]

Why have we got City fans going on TS giving them ammo to shoot the club with ffs. I am sick to death of TS listeners being constantly fed the idea that Etihad is empty or that we City fans are ungrateful for our success. Why do that on that station ffs!

They are not City fans mate, talkshite have always planted so called Blues on the show to slag us off .. As long as we are successful, they will keep hating us, long may it continue ..

From memory there used to be a Mike & TOJ who'd be on the phone, now I'd not always 100% agree with either but, you could tell Mike was a blue and I know TOJ is.

Anyone else who came on apart from the odd one was obviously full of cartel/goading shite.

Is this not the most expensive transfer in British history?

BBC - "only IF the add ons are met..." Literally the way they've worded the most expensive signing in British history

 

[blue b4 the moon]

You only need to watch Newswatch at the weekend where complaints are made (watered down Points of View with Barry Took & Anne Robinson) to see just how shite/or unaccountable they are.

Occasionally a BBC bod will come on and spout some bullshit about how/why they did what they did but, invariably the reply from the host is "we asked to speak from someone from the BBC but, nobody was available".

It's box ticking fucking madness.

BBC United/Liverpool - Mediacity, questioning the record transfer fee.

View attachment 160619

I tried to find the most expensive goal keeper in the world, the most expensive centre half in the world, and now the most expensive midfield player in the world, all signed by Liverpool, but it wasn't mentioned in the article.

But but but they are allowed to buy success didn’t you know!

 

[Burtonblue]

The way the media are lapping up Wirtz you'd think he was Pele, Zidane and Maradona all rolled into one

You forgot Messi..

More trolling from the bbc, one of the main articles on the football website, a bit of a nothing article but half way through is a chart of profit/loss for all clubs for the 2023/2024 season, the figures showing profit for City and Chelsea both have an asterisk against them but with no explanation. Obvious fucking trolling again.

you only have to look at the source of the information, keiran maguire the self appointed football finance expert will say anything anyone tells him to, his main skill is self promotion it certainly isnt football finance

The way the media are lapping up Wirtz you'd think he was Pele, Zidane and Maradona all rolled into one

Spot on, if he was that good he'd be at Madrid now. But we're now going to hear all the bollocks that this was the only club for him. Never watch sky sports news, or BBC news, only get to read their shit on here.
I did hear though, that Wirtz is giving up his first 2 years wages to buy all the dipper fans brand new caravans.

 

[bluealf]

I'll raise you a new documentary on that ex-raggett keeper who has just retired.

100 fantastic keeper errors?

 

[warpig]

Well, he's a headline writers dream.

I'm predicting :

Opposition Fans Fear The Wirtz - before season starts.
The Wirtz Is Yet To Come - after 4 games.
The Wirtz Is Over - after 10 games when he ends his goal drought.
Brat Wirtz - 20 games in, after two red cards in a week.
Could Be Wirtz - after 30 games, with dippers in 5th place.
Wirtz Signing Ever - as dippers miss out on Europe.

Of course the Echo will still lead with Why Wirtz Being As Shit As Nunez Is Good For Liverpool.

I know a main stream journalist who covers the Liverpool games. He loves a pun. I will pass these on to him.

It is mate and I fully expect that everytime he touches the ball he will be known as 116m Wirtz.
Only fair isn't it?

[oldius]

The BBC believe that Wirtz is about to 'go stratospheric'. He might, but I can guarantee that we would receive no such headlines about a record-breaking transfer. And for those who talk about his quality, do you remember the headlines when we signed DeBruyne, who had just won the Bundesliga POTY?

True, dear Oldius, very true..

'I just don't see it, Jeff.. I mean £54M for this lad.. the world's gone bonkers..'

When tribalism met client journalism and spawned idiotic comments such as this.. oh my, oh my.. complete and utter wazzocks!

Meanwhile, just twenty minutes of watching KDB play for us for the first time and we all knew how influential, how great he would be, that he was going to be 'The Man'..

The Haaland coverage was better. A seminal moment it was reported as on match of the day, the first time a club in the PL beat the Spanish two or Bayern to the most sought after player on the planet at that time.

I’ve not been in the sports pages so not seen much of the Wirtz one other than the Sky sports breaking news on the app
