Media Thread 2020/21

[LongsightM13]

I`ve been saying for years now that Pep would sooner be anywhere than talking to the fucking press.People say he looks miserable at times ... so would most if you kept getting asked the same repetitive questions and by some shit faced journo who loves to hear the sound of his own voice.
Pep treats virtually all media people with contempt ... and so he should.

You can see his heart visibly sink as soon as Simon Stone starts one of his inane fishing expeditions

They printed the tweet again yesterday...whilst explaining the reason he was banned. How come they get away with continuously printing it?

It's no coincidence that this has resurfaced when Bernie is getting back to his best.

Have the Rags paid the Ballon D'or clause in his contract yet?

Thought you were joking, but I looked it up and he indeed did have Ballon D'or clause, hahaha wtf.

As I've got a lazy afternoon planned I fancy watching both BBC and Sky documentaries celebrating our centurions and formidable seasons.

For some reason I can't find them in the BBC or sky TV libraries.

There's a couple of Rag ones and two Liverpool ones about them winning one PL title. Buy damned if I can see any on city's achievements?

I must have imagined them...

You're looking in the wrong place.. If you subscribe to SkyMythical, it has the 'Centurions' season covered; it's there between 'Centaurs: Ruining Football Since 2000BC' and 'Guardiola: The Frankenstein Connection'. Meanwhile, the BBC i-player has a choice of viewing on the unprecedented treble season in the film section; 'Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels' and 'Inglourious Basterds'..

Silly Sally was extremely giddily gushing about Liverpool and especially Salahs goals of the century. 'Ridiculous' as she described them.
Her producer must have given her a cup to tea and a biccy to calm her down as she wasn't quite as gushing on the next one.
And as I got up she had switched to her patron saint in a solemn tone.
Versatile girl

I'd not seen the goal and heard her on the first sports news this morning, they showed the goal and......meh.

It's all quite sickly and uncomfy the way they report on anything red shirt but it's not going to change I'm afraid. Imagine the headlines even from a Saturday game if one of them had done the 9 games calendar run in January.

It's the co-commentators who need changing. Who gives a shit about listening to the following: McPointy, Hoddle, Hinchcliffe, Beglin, Murphy (these 5 off the top of my head). Carragher (bad enough as a studio pundit) could never be a co-commentator because I, for one can't understand him, it always sounds like he is clearing his throat. There are at least a couple more who are just not worth listening to, either utterly boring, talk shite or just state the bleedin' obvious, and most are biased and it shows through.
There must be a few ex-footballers or even managers out there who would add some interest to the commentary, cut the bias, talk sense and generally make comments more relevant to the actual match they are covering. They could also temper the bullshit that the likes of Tyler, Darke etc inanely spout, and who simply feel the need to fill any pause with their own voice talking for talking's sake. As a comparison, just listen to any Arabic commentary, those guys don't come up for air, press that mute button ffs.
This all leads to the question, who and where the fuck are they?.

Deluded united fans genuinely believed he was a future Ballon D’or winner.
They'd have been better off inserting a Barn Door clause

If Cavani ever hits form for the Rags, I'll look forward to seeing the media print the post that got him banned for 3 games.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

There can't be a more tiresome nor tedious few moments in Pep's life when he meets the knobs from the RDAHMeedya. They know jackshit about managing a football team, and probably less about football but the linguistic gymnastics they go through in an attempt to catch out Guardiola is quite amusing. I think he has substantial patience answering the questions the way he does. Personally, i would tend to start an answer with something like "Well, that's a fuckin' stupid question. Next!"

Ha ha classic!
This clown cost more than Raheem Sterling who was signed at the same time
Raheem's fee was also slightly inflated because of his homegrown status
Another great piece of business from Eddy 3 planks.
