Media Thread 2020/21

To be honest with you, I think their could be some truth in City thinking about the futures of both Mahrez and Sterling. Mahrez is 30 and with two years on his contract, he may have plans to move on himself. Sterling has been out of form for over a year. Eventually you have to start thinking that there’s players out there that could do a better job.

I don’t like to get on players backs but I agree on Sterling, would be a shame because he’s been great for us in previous seasons but I’d understand if the club wanted to end it here although I’d personally prefer him to stay and find his form again. I guess the suits have to be more cutthroat than I’d be as a fan.

With Mahrez though we’ve had the best season out of him in a city shirt this year, maybe you’re right on the age front and the club want to make back some money on him before a dip in form x contract expiring? I don’t see it personally

As much as I loathe The Mail, I just looked on their website, and within seconds found at least ten articles about the game, mostly complimentary about City. It’s this sort of misguided self-pity that does us no favours imo.

They have just appeared as I look at their app each day, it’s a bit of self harming that I can’t lose. Very good article by Jack Gaughan as well.

I have to wonder about the reasons for anyone slagging off Rashford but praising Mata, who has made himself the poster boy for a charity
someone else came up with in common goal.

I always assumed it was a question of mind over mata!

Does it mata?

BT have given Mcminimum the co commentator role I see. Reaching the vinegar strokes talking about a young English midfielder called Mason Mount...

Such a shame I miss out on hearing our fans sing but unless one of the 'other' stations is buffer free, music it is.

FFS it seems an age since he did one of our games, i presumed we must have hit them with a ton of emails complaining about the Scouse ****.

Such a missed opportunity, BBC news live 6.04 interviewing to blues at the airport....'blah blah blah billions of pounds' then shoves the mic under a blokes nose.

Live on air he could have been told to fuck right off.

Main headline story on the daily mail tonight is Mahrez and Sterling are for sale. Of all the articles they could have made the headline, they had to make this the standout showpiece. Could have had a lovely article about City and Chelsea going into the final.

They really are pathetic.

Brilliant - lets pedal the crap to unsettle City players. The depths these cretins go to is incredible.

quick watch of Sky Sports news….showing all our recent penalty misses….

 

[andyhinch]

Silly Sally this morning, is this a bigger game than the FA cup final, wtaf ?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Not sure now...can i ask a friend? 50/50 or ask the audience?

Nah only messing. I did genuinely check the sports section around 7pm and you had to scroll down to find the first story. Checked it after you posted and new positive articles up.

I will edit the original misjudged outdated claim re the mail. Gotta keep the forum going somehow lol :)

10 pm is a standard time that articles for the next day papers are released - it may just be the difference of before/after that time.

Blimey, that would take all morning.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Are we sure there are 2 teams in the final? Wouldn't know from the BBC. I suppose this doesn't support the agenda idiots though

 

[wahablue]

Watched SKY News 10 :30 ish last night,Lots of City fans on show,But NO scenes of charging police waving their batons,No volleys of tear gas being fired,No fighting,What is the world coming to when we can,t wreck a a City with barbaric behaviour.Stay cool City fans,enjoy a credit to us all.No matter the result behave.

 

[BlueBas]

BBC breakfast this morning seem to be concentrating on City. Only seem to see the City fans in Porto & send off of City fans from Manchester Airport. I'd say least biased I've seen them, but wouldn't be happy if I was a Chelsea fan!

Brilliant - lets pedal the crap to unsettle City players. The depths these cretins go to is incredible.

So predictable as well - before every big cup match, derby games and games against Liverpool.
Balls to 'em, they will be unsettled ones just before 2200 tonight. What time tomorrow will it be for you?

 

[deano ou812]

Seems to be a lot of coverage on City and not so much on Chelsea hope this isn’t the media building us up in the hope that we fail ..

 

[Claytop]

Yeh don’t think we can have too many complaints about the build up, especially on BBC, keep seeing a new article about us pop up every day.
