Media Thread - 2021/22

I don't think the majority of Blues go along with this "the league is done and dusted" routine the media are peddling.Whilst it's a great position to be in , and the the football we play is usually a thing of beauty ,not many of us will be celebrating until it's a mathematical certainty, as with Peps mindset. I think many are setting us in the desperate hope of a fall,or even a " slippy" moment.

This is what seperates our supporters from Dippers , they were singing "we're gonna win the league" in November we know shit like that comes back to bite you in the arse.

If we pretend brain cells don’t exist any person can get a job writing childish, bitter horseshit for the Irish Examiner.

Hahaha, that's a very telling, very personal 'head in the sand and it will go away' approach. I think we may have broken him.

Sorry johnny, I think you and your media co-conspirators have already played that card to death - and the law of diminishing returns means you won't stop the public opinion - they want to see the most beautiful football ever played.

Ah its Jonny Nic, a junior WhatsApp group member who has already been dismantled by Rabin in the past for his bad faith shitposting. A freelancer who is following the money and sucking up to the big boys.

Denial is a stage of grief. Best to leave him to it.

As a City fan who makes a living from technical drawing, I guess Jonny Nicholson really must dislike me.

Maybe if Johnny and his ilk concentrated on the League of Ireland and lobbied for some investment the best young Irish players may stay at home instead of heading to England and Scotland. Interesting he doesnt share his views on other major European leagues.

I wonder why they never focus on the question "Why are CFC, Dippers and the Arse ten points plus behind. Why not put a searchlight on the footballing deficiencies in those teams who can't keep up. Much easier and a measure of innate laziness to go for the team who's leading by a margin. Doesn't surprise me that it was never a problem in other seasons when it was another team which raced ahead. Then it was a case of Team X being better than the rest of the pack.

Primarily I'd guess because they don't like the answer and they know the fans of the other clubs won't like being told either. This isn't a one season phenomenon, it hasn't happened just since Pep arrived, it isn't even a five year phenomenon. It's been in operation since the day the Sheik took over. It's happened and been managed with military precision by executives with outstanding business acumen all based on recruiting the best people, giving them the best environment in which to operate and then allowing them to do their job. This has been happening under the noses of Ed Woodward, Henry, Levy, Kronke, Laurence and every other CEO and, rather than step up and improve their own clubs from the inside, they've sought to derail City from the outside. Sheik Mansour is happy to invest billions, confident that his investment will make billions (which it has). The likes of FSG, Kronke and the Glazers still want 'the billions', they just want them without the investment or the hard work that goes with it.

Watch when he comes good they will turn te other cheek and pretend this attitude never existed.

No chance. They won't consider he's "come good" until he gets at least three goals and three assists in every game, even when he's on the bench for 75 minutes.

As fantastic as their football often objectively is, it leaves people cold. It has the soulless ice of technical drawing and lacks the warmth created in struggle.

Nope, don't see it.

He is English tbf, from the north east iirc but pretends to support some minor Scottish team.
He is a true hack in the worst sense of the word, writes whatever for whoever as long as it is precisely what they want. And in this case an Irish newspaper will always want City hatchet jobs to play to their predominantly redshirt readership.
Nicolson occasionally pollutes the otherwise decent Football365 where he has previous

Game of the season between Chelsea and the tramps yesterday?
Do me a fuckin favour, the first half was, the second half wasn't.

Anything to big them red mardarses up!
