Media Thread 2020/21

From no less than the Financial Times. Spot the difference in the way our club owners are alluded to, compared to others:

Pathetic from a publication that should know better

Agree with this. FFP followed by the ESL fiasco has damaged football far more than one club could ever do in exposing the dark heart of the game. The media want a return to United/Liverpool/Arsenal domination but they're living in the past. Those clubs have been exposed even to their own fans and no amount of anti-City bile will ever put that genie back in the bottle.

Yep, Sky etc. are desperate to get United/Liverpool/Arsenal back to the top three so their viewing figures in Asia particularly will shoot through the roof, pandering to their plastic global support...

however, what the short-sighted nobheads failed to realise is that if they'd spent half as much effort on actually 'bigging-up', promoting City to that market over the last ten years, then they would have probably have brought in as many new City supporting plastics to make them just as much money.

Newspaper circulation is falling but they all have web-sites.

Please City fans stop commenting on Guardian football. This is the most stupid of all responses, They want discussion. It attracts a loyal following and legitimises their 'journalism'. The best response to that Liew article is to detach all Manchester City fans from Guardian Football.

The Observer football network has a network of digital fan sites that they use for articles like pre-season predictions,end of season reports. The CIty site is 93:20 . I hope they can be persuaded not to contribute their opinions.

We are in a propaganda war.

By that yardstick we would comment on nothing in the mainstream media apart from occasional pieces from Martin Samuel, and none of us would ever comment on anything on the BBC.

The Guardian’s stance on us is vile, accepted. So is that of every other MSM outlet, bar none,

You appear to forget though that those in power in the media grew up as dippers, rags and chavs fans.

The Guardian again, but some people on here won't have a bad word said against that failing paper. They're actually the worst for attacking City

Jonathon Lies (note spellchecker thinks he is a liar too) has attacked City so much in his previous jobs that it looks like the gusrdiam went out to head hunt him into his natural home.
Or should that be ****-hunt in his case?

Judging by the mainstream websites you wouldn't think there was an english team playing in a Champions League semi final this evening.

This would be the nightmare scenario for the 2 red placcy clubs - significant loss of market share; hence the reason why they pay elements of the media to keep spouting positive propaganda about them, and equally negative stuff about us. Helps them having fans in position of influence too.

 

[Mike Cledford]

I disagree, fans I've spoken to who don’t support the red clubs now seem to have seen everything for what it is.

Spurs fans will have seen how little coverage their final got. They suffered because they played us. They would have got plenty of coverage if they had played the Redshirts.
Anyone who says players are not bothered if they won a lesser trophy should go back to their players after the match particularly Son.

Danny mills on sky sports......KDB has got to win a lot more trophies to be up there with......paul scholes.

Hilarious

It doesn't make it easy to learn for a thick fucker like me :(

Don't do yourself down, mate.
You learned how to read and write English, which is one of the hardest to crack.
Positive thinking - I can, I will....


Good moaning to you.
