The Talkshite Twitter post has seemingly disappeared so someone has obviously had a strong word. It's very easy to slag off the Media team, in the same way it's easy to jump down Kevin Parker's throat.
There's a fine line to tread and I understand that, having had a number of conversations with people like Vicky Kloss and Simon Heggie over the years. They're acting on orders from the owner and his representatives, and I suspect people like Simon Pearce are mindful of the reaction of the media and the impact on Abu Dhabi (which isn't known for its liberal press regimne) if we started banning everyone who said something we didn't like. And that wouldn't stop them writing whatever they wanted anyway. Ferguson didn't have that problem and anyway, he largely ruled in a time when the media needed club managements to be onside and therefore were more wary of upsetting them.
Although I''ve defended our media team more than most, there are times even I've thought "Why the hell have you not taken firmer action?". Rob Harris, Delaney and Ian Herbert should all have been told they were persona non grata, at least temporarily, after stuff they've said or written. It's not like we've not done this before with Roan and one of two others. I never really understood the Roan ban, which seemed to be for something relatively trivial in his interview with Vieira.
What Sky did with Sterling and the gun tattoo (whicn they deliberately added a word he hadn't said to make it look more damaging) was far, far worse in my view.
Cum sponge.. Hehe.Says the man who's ex missus was being used as a cum sponge by his teammates and he was oblivious to it even when she told him.
they cant wait to see him leave
Jari Litmanen's biggest fan, I'll have you know.Nice to see Alyson Rudd showing off her footballing insight.
Her fear is palpable.
Remind me, who does she support?

That's all you need to know!Jari Litmanen's biggest fan, I'll have you know.
I must disagree with one point you make. Mr Parker represents over 20,000 fans, fair enough. In view of that he should also know that being in that position will put him, and the club, in a tenuous and embarrassing position if he attacks the club.He represents over 20,000 City fans so I'd expect him to speak on behalf of a lot of those although some of his members won't agree with him. You can't complain that the media have a go at us constantly then also complain when someone who has more right than most to speak on behalf of the fans chooses to defend us.
Whether he went about it in the right way is another matter and open for debate. Personally I'd have taken the opportunity to have a go at the club, rather than Pep, for its ham-fisted introduction of digital tickets, the inability to transfer tickets until the day before the game, its failure to support us with decent transport and its prcing policy.
But I absolutely reject the notion that he doesn't have the right to speak his mind where fans are concerned. If someone had put a microphone in your face yesterday outside the ground and asked for your comments then would you be speaking on behalf of the majority of fans? No - you'd be speaking on behalf of you and those who agreed with what you'd said. If I didn't agree with you, I'd have the right to say so but you (and him) also have the right to speak your personal opinion.

Has the wanker ever been north of Watford since he retired ?Totally unprofessional by Ohara.
Hopefully the club ensures he never steps foot in our stadium again.
You want to use his cum sponge?! ;)Cum sponge.. Hehe.
That’s a very apt description and one which I will now use if thats ok? ;)
Because as a club we are passive.it seems that is no red line that the media dare not cross, why is this?
His Mrs was being filled in by the Spurs squad if you get my drift.This fick as fuck knobhead who left school with no qualifications which he seems to be proud of and if he couldn't kick a ball about a bit would have been unemployable..
His career highlight was a league cup medal which if you Google it he shouldn't have been awarded one as he wasn't included in the match day squad for the final.
He never got out of his fkin suit on the day but apparently gobs off to all and sundry that he's a winner..
His career spanned Arsenal Academy then onto Spurs, Chesterfield, Millwall, Portsmouth, Wolves, Blackpool, Fulham, Gillingham and Billericay Town.
This twat has never played in front of a home crowd the size of which we pull in every PL home game when turning out for all of the clubs he's played for though out his journeyman career..
Needs filing under just another fick as fuck cockney wannerbee..!
She has never written an impartial article involving City. There are just too many people like her working for national newspapers these days. The stuff she writes about City is full of bile. It is appalling to see the state of our media. The concept of impartial journalism has been dumped in the bin. It used to be the case that the content from sports journalists was mostly unbiased (certainly compared to the news sections) But everything now is politicised and opinionated. What happened to just sticking to the facts and letting the readers make up their own minds.Nice to see Alyson Rudd showing off her footballing insight.

Sadly it's the same for all main stream media, it's incredibly difficult to get genuine information, free from opinion and bias.She has never written an impartial article involving City.

After having a few sherbets this afternoon i thought I would weigh in with my thoughts about all this negative shit we are getting off the media. Has any other football club on these shores ever had the bad press we have received these last few years hic. Daily United had to show pics of near empty stands which I believe were either 10 mins before the saints game or more then likely halftime. These fuckers can fuck off. HicBecause as a club we are passive.
Why is that?
I don't have a clue.
If I was the Sheik and spent a fortune buying, investing in a football team and making it a glorious success, I would be pissed when every media network in the UK slaughters, slanders and libels not only the club but the owners nation.
Why he and his club sit back and take it is utterly beyond me and is partially spoiling the achievement's.
Time to stop this HRH, it's gone to far and will only get worse.

They were hated and abused by the media, having the audacity to challenge the rag domination.
Amazingly they became accepted and part of the "elite" once the Sheik rocked up.
