Media Thread - 2021/22

[blue for life]

Can’t you just smell that the media are desperate for us to drop points?

But the neutrals aren't wanting Liverpool to win it, well the ones I've spoken to anyway. Why do these cretins think the rest of the footballing world outside Liverpool actually like that club?

Because these people, much like the people that inhabit places like Twitter don’t live in the real world with the rest of us. It’s the same with things like FFP and empty seats, what appears to be a big deal for people across various media platforms really isn’t a big deal for people in real life.

Manchester City’s Owner Helps Usher More Russian Tycoons to UAE​

Manchester City’s Owner Helps Usher Russian Tycoons Into the UAE

Outside the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is best known as owner of English football champion Manchester City. At home, he’s deputy prime minister and a powerful member of the royal family.

Really not what we needed right now.

Why ? It is from people who don't want to be named as the information isn't publicly known yet.
In other words 'Steve I need a story from you by 4pm any shit will do.
BUT if it is true what is wrong with attracting Russian billionaires ? This country did it for 30 years, (like the rest of europe)
Abu Dhabi is a free independent nation, it can form its own policies with regards to foreign affairs.

The klopp era

16/17 - Fuck all
17/18 - Fuck all
18/19 - 1 UCL
19/20 - 1 PL
20/21 - Fuck all
21/22 -1 LC, 2nd in PL
----
The pep era

16/17 - Fuck all
17/18 - 1 PL, 1 LC
18/19 - 1 PL, 1 FA, 1 LC
19/20 - 1 LC
20/21 - 1 PL, 1 LC

So as Klopp is 4-1 ahead he is clearly building a fuck all dynasty.

Just sayin'

I’ve been in London on business most of the week. Everyone I’ve spoken to who knows about my City links has said we have to stop them. The media are clueless

I'm a sad lower league fan who supports two clubs, City and Fleetwood Town. When I was first into footy Fleetwood were Lancashire combination and my first game was a FA Cup tie with Rochdale in 1964. My dad was a Manc and City fanatic and so naturally I followed the blues as well as my home town. This caused me grief in a school that was half rag half dipper surprisingly not many Blackpool fans. In a small town local clubs rely on cross over support from the prem, don't see anything wrong in it myself. When I was younger at most home games at Maine Rd now an old man find it much more relaxing to pop along to Highbury and make trips to the Etihad an increasingly rare treat.

I am not putting you in that bracket - I mean the ones that pick liverpool or utd that have absolutely no connection to them.

It may have been mentioned before but

Women's Super League: Five talking points going into this weekend's games

Who will sit top of the table after the penultimate weekend? Five talking points going into this weekend's games.

www.bbc.co.uk

Is about 5 talking points going into the final matches in the WSL

Chelsea & Arsenal - fine
Kerr goal scoring - fine
United, trying for 3rd - hmm
Relegation battle - fine
Asante finishing - fine

so the hmm… according to the table graphic united , one point above, have played same number of times as city (they’ve played one more).
And, there is no mention of the horrendous injury list at the start of the season to a certain club, leading to a dire start , which has slowly changed to clawing there way back into CL place contention, and it’s now in their own hands to take the place from united…

The BBC have come up trumps in their Gossip round up of all things transfer related today. It’s not made me angry just fucking laughed at the levels they are going to.

Liverpool fans have moved to tweak the words of a chant to feature the name of Jurgen Klopp's wife after the German revealed she was key in his decision to extend his contract at Anfield. (Mirror)

Spoke to an evertonian mate of mine yesterday not seen him in the bar for months obviously because he didn’t want to watch them in there. Anyway for years I have been saying to him the game is bent especially with refs and var and when we got knocked out by spurs in the chumps semi when Jesus goal should have stood , he was laughing is bollox off. Now he’s bemoaning the fact they should have had a pen in the derby and the game is bent. Took him a while to realise how bent game favours red tops.
