Media Thread 2020/21

I worked in this profession for over thirty years, was old enough to do one when bullshit/pandering to the masses became important. Bunch of spineless reptiles that, if still there, take their pay packet, are unqualified or sheep. MuEN being the main player.

The media in the UK is blatantly biassed against City. It's not even up for debate anymore. Systematic and organised, no doubt.

It would be most useful from a propaganda point of view if another Emirati was to buy an English football club. Would the media then regard that club as owned by the UAE? Are Sheff Utd owned by the Saudi state. How do you discriminate when state and person are blurred?

Every Tuesday I connect to a Zoom call hosted by New York Abu Dhabi University and today because we play PSG in the CL semi-final I thought I'd ask them what they thought about the game given some people see it as UAE v Qatar. They are interested in the game but no one supported City, and no hint of national pride or anything like that at all. I was quite disappointed at the time. IMO people like Conn just assume what they want to believe with very little insight at all.

Well done to Emily from King of the Kippax. Having a (not so) sly dig at the media in her interview on the BBC. Saying that City fans appear to be the only ones who want us to go through to the final.

Shame no-one ran up to Dan Roan reporting from outside the Etihad and took his brolly off him. Canute deserves more than a soaking but it would have been a start.

Could explain the after effects of a Wigan kebab on me.

The saviors of modern football, the wonderful anti glazer movement gather in Blackpool ahead of the big CL semi final.

This is the guy that runs the BBC Sport website.

A Utd fan of course and formerly ran the rag official website.

No wonder we barely get a mention.

So who’s his boss then? Who holds him to account? I ask because he seems to run that website according to his own whims.

Is this the same Leicester that broke the football league FFP rules?

Had a great program that year, did Leicester.
