Media Thread - 2021/22

[Father Paul]

Or an emerging young English talent playing for his boyhood team came on and scored after recently starring for England U21's. If Palmer played for united he would be hyped up incredibly by the media....wouldnt be surprised if we start seeing articles about him needing to go on loan....forgetting Phil's route into the team.

Its a good thing for Palmer that the media are unlikely to mega hype him. Allows him to develop without being surrounded by bollocks.

He trains with the women’s team???

The predictable Daily United.

I haven’t read the article. You can imagine what’s been written about City.

Note the highlighted small type in blue ‘Manchester City abstaining’, after the headline states ‘Manchester City voted in favour’. Make up your mind, Hughes, you c*nt!

You can imagine all the predictable comments by tomorrow.

Apparently it’s an exclusive by Matt Hughes. Really?!

It says every other club bar City and Newcastle voted in favour, not that we did. So going on to say we abstained is correct.
Also the Manchester City bit in blue is most likely a link to stuff about,, Manchester City. As is the Saudia Arabia bit most likely.

The related party sponsorship thingy interests me because contrary to the widely held belief that ALL our income comes direct from Abu Dhabi, my understanding is the Etihad deal brings in about 10% of our total income. City are now one of the most recognised clubs on the planet, whilst I assume it would be pretty easy to get a new club sponsor I also assume Sheikh Mansour is of the opinion fuck them, it’s my club, however, the simple measure of replacing our shirt sponsor with an unrelated party would blow away the myth that all our money comes Abu Dhabi.

Jamie Jackson full of praise for City on Talksport this morning. Not even a single snide remark. What’s going on!

Must have been his alter ego Jamie Paradise........... ;-)

I just watched invasion of the body snatchers, maybe a similar event has taken place, an empty shell Jamie Jackson would be immeasurably more intelligent. :)

It's a public vote for that.

I can only think that a bloc vote was organised and all voted him 10, as the average score is ludicrous.

It is the usual unprofessional shite we get from BBC online. The staff there seem to enjoy mocking their customers. It's just banter apparently.

And the biggest hypocrites of them all Juventus with Jeep/Fiat!

Bayern too. Their biggest investors are also their biggest sponsors.

What is it that they'd expose and why the hell didn't they expose it in the last few weeks when City played both off the park?

Wasn’t Touchel saying Lumpy was bollocksed and needs a rest. No Lumpy, no goals.

Liverpool have been doing a fine job of flat track bullying. But I’d wager we score more than them over the season.

Not to mention, they rely on 2 players for their goals. Again, how will they get on during AFCON?

We can cope with key players missing much easier, that’s why we go on huge winning streaks.

Before Covid got in the way, City appointed agents to find alternative shirt sponsors. The idea seemed to be to split the shirt off but keep the stadium name. City believe the Etihad sponsorship is below market rates, but I guess Etihad can't afford to increase it. The Etihad contract came to an end in June. Have we renewed for a year?
