Wow... if the Editor of the Times sees that he surely has to question why he is employing such a clueless reporter as her!?!

And with a little 1 min of research: Alyson Rudd (born 1963) is a British journalist with The Times who writes about sport, mainly football, and literature in the book club section. She was born in Liverpool in 1963 and grew up in rural Lancashire.

I think your reference to Rudd’s birthplace being the reason for her being a know nowt disingenuous biased inaccurate wanna be sports reporter is unfair on other people born in a similar location ;)

Rudd has obviously dedicated most of her working life to becoming such an odious ignorant twat.

 

[Airbags Optional]

Ha haa....i know she was well and truly exposed on that debate. She wasnt making sense in anything and created more holes in her own words than a football net has.

Shows you what we are up against goesnt it....and dispells any belief that the hacks dissing us all the time know what they are talking about, when we have just witnessed Adams and Rossenoir tell it how it is from a pkayers point of view

Has seen better football as she is not surprised by the Football we play! WTF!?

Don't think the inference was her birthplace being the reason for her ignorance, but rather the source of her bitterness towards us.

Alyson Rudd lost all credibility when she predicted we wouldn't finish in the top 4.

She basically told everyone she was a joke, so I can't be annoyed by here continuing her ridiculous stance.

If someone tells you they're a clown, don't get mad at them for wearing size 20 shoes, make up and a bow tie.


It was satisfying to see her get shut down in that debate though.

 

[Proy]

Bitterness and jealously taking over her ability to think rationally and be objective. Isn't that the whole point to being in the industry? That is a gross negligence of her duties. She clearly doesn't hold the opinion she is spouting, it's there only because she can't bring herself to tell the actual truth. That's not impartial in any way.

It'll get passed off as an 'opinion', I'll just rest assured knowing that she made herself look an absolute twat on national television.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It's like she feels that as the journalist in a panel of football players, she needs to say something different to the others. She's trying to be contrary just for the sake of it. But in the process she just looks like a cünt. In saying "I like football that is more surprising", she was simply saying she only likes football when City don't win.

Watched some of a recent episode of Sunday Supplement with Rudd in and the clip from the other day is just another example of her bitterness towards City. She is an utter disgrace of a journo.

As a contrast, David Walsh, the Chief Sportswriter at The Sunday Times wrote an absolutely glowing column on us at the weekend about how he had chosen to watch Spurs v Madrid live and recorded Napoli v City but then had to stay up late to watch the recording, which had him rivetted, to quote him: "Spurs at Wembley were very good. City's performance in Naples was a level up." He also commented on the rick taking City display and said: "No Premier League rival has been as good to watch."

That Rosenior is a refreshingly bright and fair lad. His Dad managed several teams so I'm guessing he grew up with a keen interest in coaching etc.

 

[manimanc]

Horrible bitter woman, knows nothing about football and it shows.

 

[Harvster]

Liam Rosenior on the other hand came across really well. Clever, articulate, measured

He certainly was. Not seen him before.

And that’s why she likes Liverpool, because she’s surprised how shit their defence is !

 

[SilverFox2]

Trying to understand how the sending off of one L`pool player influences other games for both City or Liverpool for that matter.
From the Pool point of view did it start their decline or was our previous inability to shoot straight desease infectuous ?
From City point of view did our win against them trigger a sudden ability to play other teams off the park ?
Both seem unlikely.

Alternatively she takes as a given that L´pools start to the game would continue whereas our gear change in that game brought goals and has been reproduced against better teams than them since.
In other words we continued our scoring pattern and they have stuttered to deceive since, I wonder if they will attack in similar way when they play the return fixture this time keeping a full 11 players ?

 

[schfc6]

The other bullshit coming out of her was he had the luxury of not getting the sack after winning nothing spend money and build a team unlike a lot of other managers! Erm Poch and Klopp won fcuk all and been at there clubs longer! Can see her small brain ticking other to downplay anything we do.

The irony being, we've been lambasted before for sacking managers and not giving time to managers. Something we've avoided since the take over, yet the narrative of greedy foreign owners sacking managers at the drop of a hat still existed.

Guardiola was given time because to nearly anyone who had watched a game could see a building process. It was easy to spot the flaws and see how progression would be obvious.

I find it delightful that us giving our manager time to work is now some how a stig to beat us with.

Should drive us on more quickly to bigger and better things.

I suppose it all depends on the United owners whether they had a timescale for success that JM achieves. Certainly Pep has always slowed down expectation despite some early successes in the full knowledge that his agreed plan would benefit from time.

If United are driven by impatient fans, media or owners and have not discussed or agreed timescales or playing style but just bought reputation and left it to JM then they have got what they deserve.

 

[royalblue]

Horrible bitter woman, knows nothing about football and it shows.

Quite why she has gotten so much exposure recently is beyond me. Must be a gender quota thing. A couple of months back on The Game podcast during a discussion on City, with she being the dissenting voice, the best she could come up with was “Oooh Guardiola and City, they just annoy me”. The Debate the other night took the biscuit though. Embarrassing stuff.

I remember her on Sunday Supplement after the Barcelona home game about 3 years ago, when the Swedish referee was so bent he all but handed Messi the whistle and let him ref the game. Pellegrini understandably lost his cool and questioned afterwards whether a game of such magnitude should have been handed to an official more used to refereeing at FC Ikea vs Hurdygurdy ov Stockholm level. Rudd laughably described his mild outburst as the "worst thing she had ever heard in football" on SS the following day. The woman should be strapped to the grille of a lorry and driven over a cliff

Old saying - give someone enough rope & they will hang themselves. This ignorant inarticulate woman only needed a very small piece of string.
