Media Thread - 2021/22

He is the biggest City hating c*nt on TV and in the football media ATM. Everything that comes out of his mouth about City is negative and involves nothing but how much money City have spent. His continued Kane comments on Sly Sports continue to push the anti-City narrative. It continually comes across as a an orhastrated brief on his behalf.

He used to get a "turn " on sunday supplement, not many, cos hes shite, since you know what, he is never off the t.v. must be earning a fortune, puts more hours in than the mice. !

Paul pisspot Merson on Sly Sports spouting off that Liverpool have made the best signing in world football this week by effectively get VVD on a free.
That City only finished 17 pts clear of the dippers cos he was out injured.
He must believe the dippers don't concede when the Dyke plays.
What a bellend.
I just want to take a rubber eraser and wipe that jupiter spot off his temple

Think the make up department are taking the piss, they are trying to make him look kike fucking hitler, see his hair.

SKy's introduction to Sunday football. "Going by earlier results, the Champions might not have it all their own way".
How the rest of the weekend results have any bearing on our game, I don't know.
I suppose you have to give the rest some hope ;-)

I thought the dippers are champions bloody memory

Kavel, ya muppet, where did the money come from when GPC became manager, eh lad? Was there an organic money tree at Carrington?

This is what we are up against. It doesn't matter what facts are quoted when you have c****s like this towing the party line.

I wouldn't fuckin' bother anymore.

Bankrolled. It was all borrowed money. Apparently it's perfectly acceptable to go into debt in order to regularly break the transfer record, but there will be hell to pay if a financially stable individual dares to invest in the club and build a solid base, especially if there is 'dirty' oil money involved (unless we are talking a certain Southern club whose financially stable owner happens to be white and Russian).

Sky and the rest of the bought-and-paid for media shills are absolutely shitting themselves at the thought of City winning a successive premier league title. IPTV, internet streaming and other sources of news and information means that their business model is under threat like never before. Their only glimmer of hope is to position themselves as LFCTV/MUTV mouthpieces and to claim some kind of fake moral high ground for which the morons that they are appealing to as paying subscribers lack the intellect to see for what it really is.

So we should get used to this constant and continued anti-City and pro rag/red narrative because it is going to be relentless. I hope we channel everything we've got - on and off the pitch - into feeding their bitterness and hatred.

Get used to it?
It's been going on since Aguero made me cum.

Who knows exactly the source of all money? Why are United's noodle sponsorships in Korea OK, while ours are somehow 'dodgy'? What difference does it make? Money is money. United are up to their eyes in debt despite having 600 million fans and many, many years of relative success. Why is it OK for them to borrow millions, but not OK for our owner to put in his own money? (Not that he has lately.)

Maybe we need a new rule. Each year the Rags declare in April how much they are planning to spend in the transfer window and no one is allowed to spend more. That's what they would see as 'fair'.

Hmm by beating Leeds, Norwich and Palace. If we beat Spurs today then our lay down marker will be much much much bigger.

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

But on the nation’s news site of record, in true impartial fashion, Man City are given the opportunity to defend their spending levels. Next week, Chelsea’s turn. Other clubs may also be covered. Watch this space.

Their stock market flotation in the early nineties brought in the outside investment that gave them the platform to dominate and outspemd everyone else for two decades.
Mard arses can't handle the fact that they're not on top anymore and paid shills in the media will peddle the false narrative to appease their plastic glory hunters who subscribe to Sly Sports "cos they can't get a ticket" despite the fact that there were over 2000 unsold seats yesterday at The Swamp as was also the case pre-lockdown.

Got a link/graphic of that 2000 unsold seats?
I presume it was unsold rather than tickets bought, but not used, empty seats?

 

[Blueboy73]

Here's the link to the pre-lockdown stats.

Ranking how full each Premier League stadium has been this season

Which stadium has been the most full and most empty this season?

www.givemesport.com

Clubs tend to count tickets sold rather than actual attendance.
We've had some showing games as sold out when some fans who have bought tickets or are ST holders that haven't turned up.


I also saw something a while back (Muen I think but I won't go on their shit site anymore) when GMP figures showed a lot of their actual attendances much lower than the figures published.
It had one of their European games actual at around 45k but they published it at over 70k because they force season ticket holders to buy tickets and they didn't turn up.

Yesterday they had 72k which is similar to their average before lockdown yet our impartial publically funded broadcaster claimed the swamp was 'packed"

Personally I'm not arsed about attendances but I use this whenever shit spouting (mainly armchair) Rags bang on about empty seats.

See post above.

Ta. Indeed.
I remember 4/5 years ago the attendance’s of united mysteriously started being ‘delayed’ or even not published.
Now they’ve seem to have accepted and settled into ‘empty seats’ every game.

still, it gives anyone over 5ft tall some extra legroom

Very true.

Still won't stop the plastics who "can't get a ticket' banging on about empty seats though.

I watched some of the game yesterday and I didn’t notice any empty seats.
Credit to the rags to have them well hidden from the cameras.

I remember the Kippax being absolutely rammed, but the actual attendance being reported as around 28,000, even though the rest of the ground was pretty full.

Clearly one of Swale's' tax scams.

It was always a little odd how we spent so much in the late 70’s onward on players compared with gate receipts (generally the main income) perhaps the stash of untaxed money lying around was the reason ;-)

'Will Man City be left playing catch-up?'

Man City face brutal start to Premier League season with tough fixtures and undercooked squad

Man City recovered from a slow start last season in emphatic fashion but with stronger rivals that wont be so easy this time. Will Pep Guardiola be able to navigate their tough early fixtures well enough for his returning superstars to make the difference later in the campaign?

www.skysports.com

Fuck me we haven't even kicked a ball in anger.

Unbelievable.

Damned if I can see what you find so distasteful about that. We do have a tough start given so many players have come back late, let alone Grealish (for one) who has only just joined us.
