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

I'm with you mate; seek, find, be annoyed, and repeat; "cerca trova" and all that. I do much of what you advocated earlier, was just pointing out the fly in the ointment of the "ignorance is bliss" tactics.

Dull derby display highlights Pep Guardiola and Man City's marked decline
The Manchester derby ended in a hugely disappointing 0-0 stalemate with City once again failing to spark

Marked decline? Those cunts haven’t won the league for approaching eight years.

Remember the days when we were accused of being nutters and paranoid on BM?

By two posters?

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

Yeah, he was ok tonight too. I like him as a presenter. Rory whatshisname is a liverpool sycophant and apologist at every turn, but Micah did a good job of justifying our derby tactics and shut down that accusation quite quickly. His interview with Sterling was interesting to listen to as well.

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?

No, but you can just laugh at them when they spout bollocks instead of engaging them like they have a rational point. It’s what I started doing a while ago and it winds them up no end. Knowledge is power my friend, not whatever spin the BBC are using.

They will be defunded soon I hope, and whilst redundancy is a horrible thing, some of their sports staff deserve it for allowing a publicly funded body to fall so low.

That Rory Whatshisname was definitely playing dipper bingo during the grief fest

Big sister in the Reach Group hierarchy.

Reach was just a new name for Trinity Mirror/Mirror Group Newspapers (Officially to have all titles under one name, but tax dodge really...) Echo was firstly just contract printed to keep us busy during the day , ditto MuEN. As the fall in Mirror sales meant no need to do a pre-print during the day, to be inserted into the main jackets at night. Not enough ads to make it worthwhile.

But then the MuEN moved lock stock and barrel into the site, and became, like the Echo, part of the group.Some top blokes (many Blues too) still there, but all know they are on borrowed time. Print figures constantly in decline ..

Did you hear Sammy Lee say, something on the lines of, "...you remember Rory, you were in and around the inner workings of the club back in Houllier's time"?

As if we didn't know anyway, it further cemented my belief that he was one of the protagonists around the FFP leaked stories.

Very interesting. I thought Reach was a new name to cover the strange adoption of the Express group. They have a huge number of titles all over the country and it is bizarre that, say, a weekly in Folkestone or some other distant provincial carry Liverpool and United articles.
The Echo seems to have more weight than the MUEN but my lead to both comes usually from BM and we all tend to favour or not certain things.
I used to attend a job club at the same time as Margaret Thatcher got the boot. One of the lads was made redundant as the Mail's small ads manager and he always concealed his £50k p.a. at the Mail as potential employers were frightened away.
My dad used to work in what is now the Print works for the Mirror and Evening Chron. He always used to say that going off to war with the Manchester Regiment in September 1939 was his means of escape from Kemsley Newspapers.
