I see she wasn’t daft enough to say the scousers only won the league because of COVID. She’d never work again and would probably have to have round the clock protection from the thousands of death threats she would have received!
This 100%
Maybe she had a word with Colin Mafham before she started stealing a living spouting bollocks.
 
Karen Carney 'excellent '?
Not in my book. She is below average even in limited competition.

Which is exactly the reason this whole mess has happened.

The problem is not Leeds going after a pundit, it's the fact punditry is an absolute joke. She said something stupid because she'd done no research, didn't watch Leeds games last year and frankly, has no business giving an opinion on Leeds.

If she'd done some research or if Sky had bothered hiring someone who was in a position to talk about Leeds knowledgeably, she wouldn't have said something stupid, Leeds wouldn't have gotten offended and she'd not get backlash.

There's an awful lot of pundits like that who get with it.
 
The phrase 'hive of tribal abuse' is pretty ironic coming from Miguel given he and the rest of the WhatsApp Wankers pile on City at every f*cking opportunity.
Delaney... hell, 99% of sports journalists on social media actively poke those 'tribal' fans to purposely get a reaction... sadly with social media, the more clicks they get the better... when it comes to Liverpool or United - they have been thrust in the media spotlight for decades now so they have a massive plastic following around the world, whereas we still have a fairly local core fanbase... we have a global reach but it pales into insignificance compared to the vermin... so for that lot, positive stories about Liverpool and United gets them lots of lovely followers and clicks and likes, whereas with us, negative articles work the same way... that's all it is – impartial, honest journalism is pretty much dead, with only a handful of journals that actually report the truth over clickbait.
 
If clubs posted social media posts every time a pundit said something completely clueless and untrue about them, they'd be posting 24/7.
True - but I also believe that City have been very slow in realising that you need to play the 'social media' game – massive corporations like Disney realised long ago and use it to influence opinion for their benefit... City need to wise up and start a social media offensive... not fighting the trolls - sorry 'journos' - but start positively influencing through social media.

He tweeted about his wish for a scousers v united title race only a couple of days back
 
City won't do anything.

City will open the door willingly to them and try to be nice to them in the hope they will be nice to us.
Sadly i agree with you. Its a shame the club doesnt start to take action because its not just the club that have to put up with is abuse, us fans do as well. It get worse year after year.

After our FA Cup win in 2011, my 11 year old son on holiday in cornwall and went into the coop in Hayle were someone started having a pop at him about dirty Arab oil money , had had to step in the middle of the coop and ask this local if he wanted to carry this on outside, he didnt.

The year later when in St Ives i had some bloke of about 50 call me a wanker as i walked down the road to the beach ok it doesnt bother me i am old enough and ugly enough to look after myself.

But it would be nice if the club did come out and put these people straight. The general public believe these twats, they believe City did cheat FFP, they believe all the lies about City and all the human rights crap, they believe City are state own. But its us fans that get the abuse in the streets , on holiday etc. For the great things City do i wish they would take on this bitter lying press/media in this country. I even came close to a fight the other year when on holiday two gobby twats shouting of how City have been breaking FFP etc. Now they believe that we postponed and we are treated differently

I dont want to stop wearing my City stuff but i might have to to please the wife, never use to have this trouble when we were shit lol
