Life really is shit!

I appreciate Redknapp was pretty decent at football.

But f*** me, how he's earning a living as a pundit and columnist is beyond me.

To be fair it is the Daily Fail, so you wouldn't expect anything else.

As per, no link.

Manchester City's defenders are too weak and can't be taken seriously... they need to sign Virgil van Dijk to come top, says Jamie Redknapp

Read more: No!

He was shite.

Just watched something that to me proves there is a media bias rather than just bad journalism.

On TSN here in Canada there has been an hour long program looking forward to the new Premier League season. As part of looking at each club an ex player or the Manager has been interviewed with the ex player giving their opinion about the season ahead.

So for Aresnal it was NIgel Winterburn. Chelasea had Eidur Gudjohnnson, (sp?), Nrewcastle was Martin Hardy who is the fat waiters biographer. The were also saying how good the little piss pot Chickito will be for West Ham as he has the best goals per min ration when he played for the scum.

So after all this love in. Who do you thing we get to revue us?

Nope.

Sam Lee from goal.com - very fair, In essence said we as fans got a bit carried away by Pep's appointment but he's the best manager going and lets see what happens now he's got his own squad.

And this is where is gets hinky.

Peter Schmeichel
Owen Hargreaves
Phil Neville

Those were the contributors. To make it worse, ya know the box the comes on your screen to identify the person speaking? Well next to that was another one with "Won 5 Premier League titles with Manchester United" or similar for all 3 of them.

It was made it more interesting as none of the London or Merseyside clubs has the same pundits reporting on both/all clubs in the same city.

Hopefully @Barcon has seen this as well and it's not just me.

Saw the same thing in Portugal.

With the change of thread title I'm guessing we no longer believe in any bias?

Or Frank has become a mod..

He has been seen around town on a scooter, I'll say no more.

I think most of us are discussing why the media behave that way rather than whether it happens or not although examples happen daily.
Reasons still the same ranging from purely commercial to more sinister dislike of City or its owner by journos and or their owners.

She has form for that. I'm pretty sure she made the same prediction in August 2011.

Well that's promising then.

Where would you put her on a scale of one to ten?

The colours used on this graph are spot on.

Paul Merson: "For me, Jon Walters is the signing of the season"

You take anything that thick fucker says with more than a large pinch of salt? Look up his comments on KDB when we signed him.

Ha do I balls. Posted it so people can laugh at him a little more this season.

Going to try and take a leaf out of Frank's book this year, see how long it lasts.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Has Charlie Nicholas stuck his oar in yet ??

I knew eventually the strength of my convictions and persuasive arguments would prevail.

No more mention of an agenda or I will have to use the ban hammer.
