Media Thread 2020/21

Because City aren’t the product they’re trying to sell - and we aren’t their audience.

The Fail have no interest in engaging City fans in reading about their team - the product they are peddling is endless reams of empty drivel about United and Liverpool.

It’s little more than a Fanzine.

Still doesn't make sense. Downplaying City, fair enough, but downplay the league and you are indirectly insulting your customer fan base.
These algorithm strategies media companies run by are strange to me.

All very positive stuff....

Thanks for posting.

A very concise and informative summary given by someone who was just stating the actual stats which backed up his conclusion City are the team to beat in the league this year.

He gave reasons why the rotation in place from Pep is not only currently working but how it will help us as we move along a very hectic schedule, acknowledges the influence Gundogan and Dias have had on our season whilst we have had virtually no forwards available and unlike other journalists like Stone at the BBC states how controlled the game was against Sheffield Utd.

Also recognises the month ahead is going to be a very hard one and correctly states nothing is decided as yet for the title, but we are obviously very much the team to beat.

Also as already posted, correctly states that even though Pep has been given lots of money through his managerial career, that the money does not guarantee success and uses Allardyce as an example of if given such money would not be in the position Pep is, 500 wins in 673 games at all his clubs.

Amazing stats currently for City, but even more amazing how much we are ignored and even sneered at and treated with such contempt and disdain by the so called ‘press’ of this country.

If we continue on our current path, and I acknowledge that at the moment it is in no shape or form guaranteed with the scheduling of this season, surely we must not only win the title and have an outstanding chance in other comps, but our manager and team must receive the plaudits and awards they both not only would deserve but will have earned through hard work and a team spirit that currently seems to be soaring.

The reality is that our press/media will continue to sneer and deride at every opportunity, ignore the actual form and stats that are in front of them, rejoice in any defeats we have, put our opponents on a pedestal no matter if deserved or not, and continue with their collective heads in the sand whilst recycling at every opportunity the same agenda/bias they have held against our owners and team since day one of the takeover.

By agenda finder general Frank Sinatra.

tbf Frank would question the media “agenda” & there were silly examples but clearly he seems to have relented that at times there is. We were told by others there was no agenda from authorities, FFP & the witch hunts that followed has showed there is an agenda.

The last 7 days of Slys attempt to sell Penandes as the greatest ever Premier league signing looks very futile again this morning.
They never learn from their previous mistakes of blowing smoke up the rags arses.
No cos their get out of jail card and smoke screen now seems to be racism, which is very sad.

Would it really hurt them to praise other teams players every now and again, or like a junkie are they just addicted to shit gear that as we know as a detrimental knock on effect to the wider community.

THEY NEED TO GET CLEAN!!!

that’s why I believe Rags & Dippers incentivise individuals, it shouldn’t matter to Sky or BT who win, the game is the attraction & the majority do not follow these.

Without any timings that’s just laughable. City scored and had another shot on target, then had no shots on target until they had two more.

Did Simon Stone work in Donald Trump's press office with special responsibility for peddling fake news?

 

[give it to gordon]

Has Ederson won the golden glove yet?

well he didnt win it last season according to Crooks and the bbc ;)

 

[bluealf]

even if they had the 2nd most successful January ;)

Well, they got the 1st loser's trophy the other year so why not eh?

lol

 

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

It's that bad with all the media I'm not sure if this actually happened or your just having a laugh.

I know which I'd be putting a pound on and I'd be laughing too then.

Yeah it was bollocks mate. 500 wins not newsworthy apparently. Imagine if it was Klopp...

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

But then, at the bottom of the report, he awards their goalie MotM. They just write shit piled on shite, not understanding that what they've written is full of inconsistencies at best or just total inaccuracies! You'd think that a national broadcaster, so covetous of its reputation, would produce something that matched what actually transpired.

When there’s nothing ’controversial’ happening they need to find a way to contort the readers mind in order to keep the narrative going that we are either lucky and not there on merit or the officials are with us and cheating them out of the top slots.

Either way, it keeps the popular Sky 5 readers clicking the nonsense which keeps them frothing.

Fair shout there, as he did his internship with a Herr Goebles as a spotty youth.
