Media Thread - 2021/22

[jrb]

No offence to jrb who I like, but if ever an exchange summed up this thread it’s that one.

No probs mate. I jumped the gun. Hands up. We all make mistakes. I am human after all. :-)

Maybe I should stay off the Daily United website for a while?

And there's the issue. You're so determined to find fault in the media, you're no longer reading what they say :-)

In fairness, the media whores and the Daily Rag are usually looking to downplay any of our achievements so it's fairly easy to become paranoid .

True.

I just can’t bring myself to read that Rag, even with what turns out to be an accurate headline for once!

I do surf News Now City, which has the odd link to a decent and honest article, amongst the daily anti-City dross.

I’ve stopped reading the Liverpool Echo headlines. Sometimes in life you have to accept things as they are and move on.

Never ever read anything on the Liverpool Echo jrb for the sake of your health.

Reading the mirror on line this morning(I know) and an article of the best 20 yr olds up for best young player award. No Foden though how odd.

Odd but par for the course.

Decent is a quote from Pep. Jack (a city fan) is highlighting it because it's funny that Pep thinks its only decent when everyone else knows it's exceptional.

Jack is a Blackpool fan I'm sure.

We all know what decent means.

But, I just had to double check the precise meaning.....

Decent is used to describe something which is considered to be of an acceptable standard or quality.

Why? Because according to the Daily United(and Jack Guaghan)....

View attachment 28961


So it’s an ‘acceptable standard’ to win 8 trophies in 5 season. In that case Klopp has failed, even with a get out of jail CL trophy card. 4 trophies since 2015.


8 trophies?

3 PL titles.
1 FA Cup.
4 Carabao Cups(League Cup)
2 Community Shields.
=10 trophies.

Obviously Jack doesn’t think the Community Shield is a trophy. He best tell that to all the other Managers, including Ferguson, who’ve won it previously.

Back to the Daily United.

Is there every a headline or article in that Rag fanzine that doesn’t downplay Pep’s and City’s trophy achievements?

Imagine the euphoria from the Daily United and their Journalists if Ole could win 10 trophies in 5 seasons as manager of Manchester United.

PS.

No mention of Pep being the only Manager to ever do the domestic cup quadruple in English Football.

No-one comes anywhere near him during his time in the PL The likes of Klopp, Ole and the rest are the complete opposite and therefore indecent, some more than others.

I used to be paranoid, then I realised everyone was out to get me

Yeah pretty sure he's been on the 93:20 pod talking about them. He's not a blue but normally pretty sound in my opinion
