Why on earth is Wayne Bridge on my screen as a pundit?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He's an old school boxing pundit and a Utd fan.

Utd PR is in overdrive this week.

Their PR wage bill must be hefty based upon the number of whores that they employ.

The UK media, especially the press, has lost touch completely with its customer base. When you see people like Matt Lawton (Daily Mail) slagging off fans on Twitter it's totally bizarre. The volume of negative comments a lot of these reporters get is seen as some sort of badge of honour.
But upsetting the paying customers is a disastrous business model and most newspapers are already on their last legs because of the digital revolution (let alone Covid). Thousands of jobs have been lost in the media in the last decade. Trolling your own customers on Twitter is just commercial madness.
Most proper fans I meet despise the way football is covered in the press and on TV. There is no need for this to be the status quo. All anyone wants is honest, balanced, fair, and critical analysis of the sport we all love. What we get is bitter, partisan, and negative coverage where content seems to be designed just to wind people up.

Indeed. What they don’t seem to realise either is that those who respond, Like etc and generally bolster their biased POV on social media are not a representative sample of all footy supporters; they are from a narrow band imho

They Daily United always do this when they know an article by one of their journalists is going to cause a backlash.

2 nice comments have got through.

Mine won't. I've also told the moderator where to go, as well as Powell.

No mention of the United players celebrating together at Burnley!

There would be talk of making the team (England) fit around him.....an undroppable.

he'd have 100 caps by now, would have famlies getting steak in free food boxes whilst developing a vaccine in his kitchen ....

... untill he left the rags.

 

[Time gentleman please.]

As long as we can sell it to the majority we don't care about the minority. Politics 101.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Watching Burnley at West Ham on Amazon prime, commentator stated Burnley played well against Utd but we're undone by a stroke of genius by Paul Pogba. Guess one man sees a stroke of genius another a flukey deflection.
