Has anyone read this quite frankly bizarre article from Jamie Jackson today? I'm not sure if it's meant as satire, or if he's actually just jumped the shark.
Pep Guardiola’s tinkering keeps Manchester City A-listers on their toes | Jamie Jackson
Sterling, Silva and Stones are among the latest victims of a risky policy that has backfired against Chelsea before and could do againwww.theguardian.com
He criticises Guardiola for both dropping and then playing Stones, Laporte, Sterling and Bernado.
Criticises Pep for not dropping Laporte for Stones this season, despite Stones not being fit and Laporte not conceding a goal all season.
Claims that Cancelo played his best football from left back last season (he absolutely did not) and criticised Pep for playing Zinchenko in the CL final (despite our far superior record of playing Zinc at left back)
He also called Bernado's inclusion in the CL Final as "bizarre", despite the fact he started pretty much every game of our 14 game winning run up to the final.
You really have to read the full article to believe how misinformed it is. Completely bizarre, to the extent that it almost feels like some kind of post-modern fake news parody.
That could end up turning out like Mike McGrath’s similarly laughable article in the Torygraph last season, a screenshot for the agesDon't worry, loads of City fans! including myself, leaving negative comments about the Daily United and their reporters. (amongst the usual and predictable dross from mainly plastic Liverpool fans, some United fans, and general City haters)
yes my spelling is piss poor as well as the yogurt knitters paper of choice

It really is a bizarre article which confirms that Jackson knows very little about City or what is going on at the club. It is riddled with factual errors. He obviously watches very few of our matches and has no significant contacts at the club. Pathetic that he seems incapable of doing any basic research.Has anyone read this quite frankly bizarre article from Jamie Jackson today?

I’d go further and say it shows he knows very little about football.
It's not about research it's about feeding the gargoyles.
Someone on the Whistleblowers pod asked if KDB played against Wycombe, then he went on to say how he absolutely loves the league cup but doesn't take much notice till the later rounds. Presumably from the semis onwards, no wonder the standard of football journalism is so dire.
Last time I heard him was on talkragshite about 2 years ago before I binned it off.
I very rarely read the output from any of these journos and have not done so for many years. Back in the day whether it be sport , politics or cruising around the globe a person got a job as a journalist on the basis of ones ability to write well, integrity and common sense. These traits are sadly lacking in most journos these days despite the fact many of them have supposedly spent years in college studying the craft. Of course that may not entirely be the fault of the individual but also the scope and nature of the journalism and communications courses and the ideological mindset of the institutions running these courses.
Not sure if this has been posted, but this just came up on my radar. Obviously the focus is the A-League and Melbourne City, but it will be interesting to see where this goes and how they position CFG and the owners. There's already a mention of 'war crimes' in the promo, so I'd suggest it probably isn't good...

For decades Australian soccer has operated in the shadow of the other major sporting codes. Despite its immense popularity as a community sport, it's struggled to attract the eyeballs, sponsorship, and the profile of the AFL and the NRL. Almost half of Australia's premier soccer clubs are owned...www.abc.net.au
