Media discussion - 2025/26

[JASR]

Stenographer Stone’s daily PR feed on the BBC is the odd lot pissing and moaning that City won’t give up home advantage in the youth cup final

This seems to be coordinated attack on City by United media.
Mitten also waffled on about it.
Unbelievably the Caf also did and stated City didn’t want it at the etihad because we were scared of being shown up by the United crowd (not players)…

Hardly viral.

Not sure why these businesses think football banter will get them customers.

Stone and Mitten are two complete non-entities, just like the shit club they follow.

Mitton and stones need reminding there were only 3189 big reds watching the youth cup semi at their shithole. So they want to turn out now to see Citeh?

Nah, that will never be mentioned.
Both those "journalists" are nothing but rabble-rousers for that shower...

Maybe it's my age but I find it weird how public companies will risk insulting their own customers for cheap likes. Also, they could possibly be opening their staff up to possible confrontation, there are some real nutcases out there, especially if someone is pissed up, say after going to a match. Just can't understand why they'd risk it for such a pathetic little piss take

Arsenals player ratings from the scintillating footballing joy they produced last night against athletico.

The City ratings... From the dire run of the mill 4-0 win against Madrid in our UCL semi final 2nd leg.

The thing is, like the Tevez imitation posters, it misses the point. You cannot bottle a title chase from second position. You either catch the leader or you don't. If the second placed horse had collapsed instead of Devon Loch, it wouldn't even have been mentioned.

Good investigating sir. And yet as blues we are told by neutrals, opposition fans, plus sometimes even our own, that we are just paranoid and there really is no agenda or favouritism in the media.

Isn’t the City v Palace game on at the Etihad the night before? What state would the pitch be in having to turn it round in 24 hours for the Youth Cup Final, surely it deserves a prepared surface. As a side point the Joie stadium is a lot more state of the art than the ramshackled cow shed in Stretford.

I may be wrong but doesn’t Mr Mercury take every single corner, free kick & penalty for the Rags?
No wonder he get’s most assists

About 12 of his assists this year have come from set pieces I think I read recently. Compared to 0 for KDB & Henry.
