Media Thread 2020/21

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Weird... A story in the media about how ManUre fans are upset about the appointment of a particular referee; a narrative no doubt being driven by the club's PR ringpiece Neil Ashton.

'Advantage Burnley', 'Absolutely useless' - Many Man Utd fans fume as 'frustrating' news emerges (msn.com)

I wouldn’t say controversial but they were a bit raggy/dippery, we are not that sort of club. Pep prefers the humble confident type of player and so do I.

it was a media company who did it

I know, but players will still be tarred by association, ask Joe Hart.

Guess who is writing about the SPortswashing Derby?

Predictable. What annoys me more are the City fans who spend hours fighting our corner on there. Don't. The Guardian do it to appeal to annoyed Liverpool and Man Utd fans. It's so transparent. All you do is provide a focus for argument and give them the interest and discussion they want. Just don't comment.

I agree. It's pointless as they do it to reel us in to satisfy the evil rag/dipper alliance. I revel in being disliked by those shallow fans who never go to a game.

Agreed. It was pointed out to me after I posted that, that it’s been reported Foden’s management were concerned about the posts, have asked for them to be removed and they weren’t directly from him etc. (It was a genuine question at the end about how controversial they were, because I hadn’t seen them myself). Sounds like maybe his social media company getting a bit giddy and carried away last night.

Your phone browser should have a ‘show reader view’ option which will get rid of the ads. Not all sites enable it, but the MEN does.

Ooo interesting, had a quick look on my Android via Chrome and my screen isn't set up like that but,i'll have a play later and see what's available.

I don't recall this level of outcry/bedwetting/criticism in the media about sportswashing when we played PSG in the 2016 CL quarter final.

I actually think that sportswashing hadn't been mentioned much in 2016, it wasn't really a thing until Pep came in and we started to get really successful. Then those great humanitarians suddenly piped up, only took them 9 or 10 years. Or maybe they don't actually care much for it and just use it as a stick to beat City with, who'd have thought it

Now I know why I never go on there for anything....I dropped football with them quite so time ago, my phone became a handheld advert trying to get into that link.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Jake Humphries on BT saying our season was 'hanging by a thread', or something of the sort, as we came out for the second half was unbelievable.
Now defeat in CL las night would have been a blow no doubt, but with a FAC semi, a CC final and a 8/11 point lead in PL we'd have still had something to play for had we not turned it around!!!
