Media Thread - 2021/22

Didn't stop them sending Kompany off early v the Rags for a perfectly good tackle. Wankers

That helped protect the product, just in a different way. That said, after tonight's shit show they may have to abandon one of their favourites. No one can help them anymore.

He is a snake - slippery fucker. Master of the "I like so and so but...". Always a but.

Listened to him 3 times last week on 5 live, Totally and 2nd Captains. Same message on all 3. Chelsea and Liverpool having good seasons etc. Heading for 80 points is good. Inferring City bad for the league etc etc because not the norm because too good and no jeopardy. Blah blah.

How does he get all these gigs? I mean, seriously. Is his agent best mates with a load of media producers?

After United's latest performance we have some media words for absolute shite : Underwhelming, disjointed.

I've listened to 3 pods with more to follow at some point.

1. Guardian with Ronay, Brewin and Glendenning
Critical of BT
Ref/ VAR decisions right
Arsenal great but critical of professionalism, losing heads, Xhaka and Gabriel stupidity
Mane was a red card.
City a relentless winning machine

3-0 on all.

2. Totally Football with Storey, Bardell and Sasha someone( liverpool fan who actually posts on RAWK)

Critical of BT
Ref/ VAR decisions right
Arsenal great but critical of professionalism, losing heads, Xhaka and Gabriel stupidity
Mane was a red card.
City a relentless winning machine

3-0 on all except the Liverpool fan on the ref/VAR

3. Times - Alyson Rudd and a couple of others

Ref/ VAR decisions right
Arsenal great but critical of professionalism, losing heads, Xhaka and Gabriel stupidity
City a relentless winning machine

3-0 on all except Liverpool fan Rudd on the ref/Var who was talking so much bollocks and no understanding of how VAR works.


Overall not too bad and the criticism of BT pleasing and also as predicted by Ahsan on 93:20.

Did the same, found the three podcasts to be pretty balanced in the main. Sacha Goryunov seemed adamant the decisions went against Arsenal but he's a Liverpool fan so I'm not surprised.

Overall I'm glad the focus was on BT's appalling broadcasting.

Having just sat through that pile of sh*t from the ’theatre of dreams‘ I hope the popular media hacks will stop accusing us of ruining competition and ask a serious question about how a team as desperately poor as the rags can possibly be top four contenders.

Well they are part of the big seven.

Not going to link the article or even read it myself, on news now the Fail have an headline that says " Where can City drop points between now and the end of the season" its the hope that kills em. Might as well be Celtic ha ha. Seriously though never ever ever did shit like that get written when the rags won game after game, they got their co€×$ sucked!

The Daily United Fanzine is in meltdown. I can't fit all the headlines into the screen grab. Cue 10 articles about United in tomorrows Daily United Fanzine

Delighted to see via the latest team of the week from that nice Mr Garth Crooks (BBC football page website) that City actually beat Arsenal 3-2. I must pay more attention, and am so glad that that future of the written word is in such safe hands…
