To any lurking Rags, Dippers, City haters, or you c*nts stealing a living as journalists.

Yesterday against Southampton.

1 more point.

City fans also bought over a 1000 away tickets in the South Stand 3rd tier returned by Southampton.

Get to f*uck!

Even Peps seat is empty!

Why is that walking a fine line? City fans might talk Billy big bollocks, but the whorish scribblers can write what they like about us and it's all good, there's no backlash. A negative piece about City plays well with the rags, dippers, arse and chavs, nobody else matters, least of all us.

As for the club, there's much talk in here about City banning journalists, or cutting back on the lavish freebies, that would achieve absolutely nothing.

What we've learned from our softly, softly approach with UEFA and the Premier League is it doesn't work, we have no soft power. If we're serious about stemming this stream of anti-City bullshit we're going to have to start issuing writs and mean it, otherwise this shit show will just keep rolling on.

Well maybe Pep should attack the press on the clubs behalf.

If I was him and with what he has done for not only MCFC but English football, I would be pissed.

He has built two wonderful teams , would numerous trophies and revolutionised the way the game is played in this country.

The media attack the club, why does the club allow this? Why does the manager then fuel the fire?

I would love for Pep, Khaldoon and Ferran to come out Garrry Cook, Mancini style and tell them all to shut the F7ck up.

That's the thing though PB he didn't need to defend us because Pep said something that was taken way out of context.
So when he spoke up the media were licking their lips to stick the knife in.

And that's the point. The media twist things to suit themselves, which I've had personal experience of. So you learn to be more savvy and say nothing that could potentially be misinterpreted or, better still, twist the conversation round to your own agenda.

Both Pep & Kevin fell into that trap of not thinking about how their words would be interpreted and then instead of keeping quiet, Pep added more fuel to the fire. I suspect, in hindsight, both wish they'd handled it differently.

I've had personal experience of a manager (that twat Pearce) having a go at me personally, which upset my son considerably. He did it on Radio Manchester, before a game, when I was fronting up the Supporters Trust. He said that John Wardle had put £20m into the club and that i should either put up or shut up. So I had a go back.

I rang up and said that we fans, through tickets and merchandise, plus our Sky subscriptions, put in at least £20m every single season. He never opened his mouth again as Paul Tyrrell realised it was an argument he was never going to win and presumably (and sensibly) told Pearce to keep his mouth shut. I wish our PR team had done the same to Pep after the initial exchange.

In fact, I wish Tyrrell was our Neil Ashton. I had some run ins with him but, fuck me, did he defend the club when necessary.

@ Prestwich Blue - I suspect that the many of our supporters despair of the club's lack of a PR department which defends the club against the constant attacks and criticisms.

The " war of words " this week with both Pep and Kevin getting involved was something which the club could have done without, but with a PR dept who showed any integrity could probably have defused to a degree.

Whilst the snipes from rag/dipper or any other set of supporters is of no concern to me personally, the fact that our PR is so piss poor at representing the club does upset me.

The fact that it continues after so long suggests that nothing is ever going to change on this front.

The Talkshite Twitter post has seemingly disappeared so someone has obviously had a strong word. It's very easy to slag off the Media team, in the same way it's easy to jump down Kevin Parker's throat.

There's a fine line to tread and I understand that, having had a number of conversations with people like Vicky Kloss and Simon Heggie over the years. They're acting on orders from the owner and his representatives, and I suspect people like Simon Pearce are mindful of the reaction of the media and the impact on Abu Dhabi (which isn't known for its liberal press regimne) if we started banning everyone who said something we didn't like. And that wouldn't stop them writing whatever they wanted anyway. Ferguson didn't have that problem and anyway, he largely ruled in a time when the media needed club managements to be onside and therefore were more wary of upsetting them.

Although I''ve defended our media team more than most, there are times even I've thought "Why the hell have you not taken firmer action?". Rob Harris, Delaney and Ian Herbert should all have been told they were persona non grata, at least temporarily, after stuff they've said or written. It's not like we've not done this before with Roan and one of two others. I never really understood the Roan ban, which seemed to be for something relatively trivial in his interview with Vieira.

What Sky did with Sterling and the gun tattoo (whicn they deliberately added a word he hadn't said to make it look more damaging) was far, far worse in my view.

Hopefully the club ensures he never steps foot in our stadium again.

Not a fucking chance our club will do anything about it

A few years ago Sterling posted a pic on twitter of him and Delph flying to a European game with the plane and snake imoji, a few weeks later Delph did his ACL and Collymore, who at that time was talksport's main man, put on twitter a snake snapped in half, taking the piss out of Delph's injury
I was fucking livid because Collymore was an ex pro, who during his career had been injured and also because Collymore had suffered with mental illness, so a pro suffering a major, potentially career ending injury is not something that any former pro, especially one with the issues Collymore had suffered should have been using as "bantz" for likes
It was in such bad taste that Collymore deleted the tweet
I mailed Vicky Kloss with my thoughts and expectation that Collymore should be banned
She replied with "I'll speak to him"

This fick as fuck knobhead who left school with no qualifications which he seems to be proud of and if he couldn't kick a ball about a bit would have been unemployable..

His career highlight was a league cup medal which if you Google it he shouldn't have been awarded one as he wasn't included in the match day squad for the final.

He never got out of his fkin suit on the day but apparently gobs off to all and sundry that he's a winner..

His career spanned Arsenal Academy then onto Spurs, Chesterfield, Millwall, Portsmouth, Wolves, Blackpool, Fulham, Gillingham and Billericay Town.

This twat has never played in front of a home crowd the size of which we pull in every PL home game when turning out for all of the clubs he's played for though out his journeyman career..


Needs filing under just another fick as fuck cockney wannerbee..!
