They’re all trying to stoke the fires, to get the FA to justify deducting points and forfeiting the game.
It will be an absolute farce if it happens. The FA /PL cash cow has to keep running. They don’t want us inside the top 4, and know this is an easy win and will bow down to the media pressure and unsubstantiated / made up shit.
Unless it is cold,hard, factual evidence and cannot be refuted, they should be told to fcuk off and take their heads for a shite.

They don’t need any justification to deduct us points, they’ll just roll-out Dean and Taylor for one of our upcoming matches.

Like Pep said after the CAS verdict, stop all the whispering off the pitch, come and beat us on it!

The barrage of bullshit directed our way is relentless.
 
Bloody hell, I'd forgotten Elton Welsby ever existed. I remember seeing him stroll confidently up to the main entrance at Maine Road only for security to give him 'the look' and point at the press entrance. He got a decent level of piss taking as he made his way back. I played golf with him many years ago and he was actually decent company. Lives out on the Wirral, Helsby or Heswall, and he came complete with caddy/driver which I thought was sensible given the distance. The weird part was that for every Scotch he drank his driver had a pint so Christ knows what the journey home was like!
 
Twitter is a cesspit of unfounded bollocks which can ruin lives. Only a few weeks ago a story was put up on a news site about a premier league player being accused of rape and false imprisonment. Cue wankers on Twitter naming a young lad without any justification, then when the idiots realised he didn’t fit the age of the unnamed person in the article they changed it to someone else instead

It’s full of people who know fuck all, and like spreading malicious rumours

Another shithouse hack that gives others the bullets but hasn't got the bollocks to come out with it himself..

Was he not shacked up with Fred the weather man at one point or is that just something I heard?

The fact that our media department will let a story like this creep through social media, but they’ve put out trivial statements of denial about wanting Messi in the past, what the fuck are we really, actually doing?

Have we not learnt about these guerrilla tactics yet? Repeat the lie, until it becomes the truth.

Like we all knew the truth about FFP, the media, rival’s colluding... I think we all know that our own handling of these matters is a fucking joke. And before anyone says ‘don’t give credence to little nob jockeys on Twitter’ I’ll quote an old proverb...

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Spot-on. This latest Walker story appears to be a clear fake news story which has been allowed to gain traction. It should have been shut down at the earliest possible stage. That is how professional modern Comms operations work. Not issuing an early denial allows the idiots to fill the vacuum.
To ignore something because it is on social media is an absurd strategy. Many social media channels have much bigger audiences than established broadcasters. We need to get into the 21st Century..whether we like it or not. A strong denial kills this story stone dead. No reaction gives it credibility.

Lol at the Daily United.

Harry Kane to City for £90mill.

Last Summer it was Harry Kane to United for £200mill.

Seriously. Have these Hacks got now shame about stealing living by continually making up fake and untrue stories?

So if it not true why does the club not squash it now before it grows and the whole of the media be reporting it?

Or is it the blog articles would still happen but the main stream won’t publish it it will just grow in Sofia media and add another narrative negative to Man City.

Don’t think the people with the power at city don’t understand social media!

Perhaps it is you that doesn't understand social media. If City issue any kind of statement the main stream media would then be able to publish the story, it would be slanted, after passing through the lawyers, in a way to make Walker sound guilty even though he was in Manchester throughout. Idiots with a keyboard will in this day and age spew any old shite out, (look at Trump on Twitter) By posting it on here we are just giving it life instead of letting it die a quick quiet death.

Shouldn't the 'article' be written post the accusations being proven that the gathering took place and that Walker was the instigator?

If proven to be true then Walker is fair game.

At present, all we have is someone sharing some thoughts about unsubstantiated hear say - what the f#ck has happened to so called journalism?

Welsby is an Evertonian, anyone think they aren't trying to stir it up and get a cheap three points? No sympathy from that club towards the players affected and the abuse caused online is horrendous, Everton and the social media rats attacking the club should be ashamed.

Yep - social media reaches millions... some Youtube channels get far more views that television shows or movies for each uploaded video – it cannot be stressed how important it is to get a grip on it... as much as I hate the Rags, they recognised in 1992 what the PL would mean in terms of TV and sponsorship revenues exploding due to the global reach Sky offered – they exploited that to their gain from day one, like no-one else did – and it would seem they're very savvy when it comes to Social Media too... and regardless of what anyone thinks of Twitter or Youtube etc. etc. etc., a club like us has more than embrace it, we actively have to use it as a propaganda tool to project a positive image.
