Media Thread 2020/21

[chesterbells]

Same here.

Don't have Sly Sports News on anymore. Stopped watching Sunday Supplement beforre it was rightly pulled. Talkshite is also off. Gave up on BBC United Football, TV, Radio, and online years ago. Binned the MUEN paper and MUEN online years ago. (used to always get the Pink Final) Don't read the tabloids. My only City news source is BM and News Now, Man City, where I can pick what I want to read or not.

I would echo all of that. I’ve been listening to Mark Chapman, Micah Richards and the gang on 5live Monday Night Club for the last hour though (including a great Raz interview), but that is the only non-City specific football media I listen to. Even with the Totally Football podcast, I just scroll to the City bit, but yeah, everything you’ve listed I'm exactly the same.

It’s part of the same feeling I’ve seen others express on here - still love City, but don’t really love (professional) football any more.

If we didn’t all read this media that we all claim to upset us then we could close this thread down .... don’t buy it don’t click it and fuck it

Shush now Bertie, take off your tinfoil hat and kindly feck off back to Stockport............... ;-)

Feck Off? Feck Off?
This isn't Rag Tissue you know.
We inhabitants of the leafy suburbs of this metropolis are sofistickatered, unlike the rabble what support the scummy bastards of the borough of Trafford.
Please retract your statement immediately, you bounder!

What was that like tonight mate, Chapman is usually OK for a rag, did they have a go at us?

If you don't know that something exists it doesn't cease to exist. It still informs and moulds the opinions of a large proportion of the country's football fans; so in order for it to "disappear" do we have to stop talking football with other fans too?

I couldn't follow a lot of that but I liked it anyway........... :-)

All I’m saying is that it’s self fulfilling.. you know the Daily Mail and BBC are either going to play down our achievements or write something negative about the club so when you read it it’s going to wind you up.. don’t read it and your blood pressure will go down. That’s the point I was making

All you need to d now is listen to Classic FM and you have morphed into me.

They are on another level. Sister paper of the MUEN.

Big sister in the Reach Group hierarchy.

Had to laugh at the BBC news on Radio 1 earlier whilst I was out driving.....

”Over to the sports desk for an update on the European draws”

”Liverpool away at Leipzig, Chelsea away at Atletico, and tie of the round the return of Neymar as Barca take on PSG. And over in the Europa League man united get Real Sociedad and Arsenal get Benfica.”

If ever there was confirmation of the agenda/bias then that was it. Laughable.

It's annoying isn't it.

I gave up on the broadcasting media and the written press years ago. They'll never accept us.

I'm more philosophical about it these days. Why should they accept us? The broadcasting media and British news outlets know which side their bread is buttered and it doesn't include us.

The rags and dippers get all the plaudits and cover ups when needed. After all it's far more important that the media placate their fan base.

The media are more than happy to collude in the illusion that the rags are still relevant and Liverpool are here to stay.
