More like the Bessie Braddock and Ena Sharples of the premier league.

One for the teenagers there.

Let me make an analogy to professional wrestling, so bare with me.

There was a wrestling company in the 1980s owned by Ted Turner called WCW. Wrestling was essentially a live event business model no different from a concert and the objective was to promote storylines that would want people to buy a ticket to watch the conclusion of those stories. There was this guy called Sid Vicious - big guy, looked like a mean bastard, but he was all talk and wasn't a very good wrestler. There was another guy called Arn Anderson, shorter guy but he understood crowd psychology and was a great wrestler.
You see if they heavily promoted Sid Vicious into a main event type role then they would do a massive crowd, probably make a million dollars in one night but 3 months later nobody would care about him whereas Arn Anderson would never draw that crowd but he would make the company consistent good money for 20 straight years. They chose Sid Vicious. They were bankrupt two years later.

I feel like the British media have done this. They have taken the big money now by being sensationalist but in doing so have lost the trust of the public that could have kept them in business for decades to come. Once that trust is lost in a media organisation then it never comes back and they have to go more and more sensational over the years just to stand still.

Getting Taylor Dane vibes from that first line….

….you don’t have to take your clothes off…

700 comments of which a very large number were poisonous and libellous on the Guardian's Manchester City preview. Pleased to say that few blues got involved. I cancelled my account ages ago but monitor what this media enemy says. Never have rivals supporters been so inflamed as they are now. I wouldn't mind but it has consequences. It won't be long until there are acts of violence against City fans because of media vilification, and anyone who sticks his head up against the parapet can be targeted. It is more effective to boycott the corporate media particularly those who lead the campaign against us.

I can report that the Guardian print circulation has fallen 30% in two years and taken with subscriptions is now hovering at about 105k per day. Sadly I suspect their digital business is thriving. They are though on borrowed time because at some point a major rival will go on to their digital turf and their revenues will crash. Tiny digital presences like the Telegraph, TImes, Mail etc don't count. These websites are deliberately minor to avoid cannibalising their existing print business. At some point, one of them will go all into digital. Guardian will be first but others will inevitably follow and then what happens? Hopefully some democratisation? Why should only big media be successful? Maybe niche experts will thrive. If for example you want to know about science, you don't go to a newspaper. I suspect its the same for stuff like technology, or music. FOr sport. There are specialist sites e.g., Bluemoon. Coproprate media can be jack of all trades for now but will that last?

I thought the Dail Heil was one of the largest news websites in the world as it receives around two million hits a day

Watching Sky news bearded twat called Tim Montgomery reviewing the papers in front of a picture of a crowd approaching OT. Don't know who he is but doesn't sound like a Manc he is described as a conservative commentator . A rag and a Tory what a c**t.

Not watching it, but if is the guy, I am thinking of, he is the founder/editor of Conservative Home and I think he used to have a rag season ticket... but I could be wrong.

I see sky had the chuckle buttheads on the transfer show. Discussing Messi & PSG but somehow managed to accuse MCFC of being a state owned club who pay lawyers to circumvent ffp.

I think the club need to start communicating with the fans as to what action is being taken against these slanderous accusations with no legal base.

Constant barrage of lies peddled by sportwashing journalists to suit their corporate agenda. Disgusting.
