Media Thread - 2021/22

[willipp]

Sterling now gone with the same media people as Rashford.

As an aside, he is definitely leaving.

Sad how his career seems to be fizzling out at City. I'll always have a soft spot for Raz as for 2or 3 seasons he was just fantastic, but he seems a million miles from that and a move is probably best for all concerned.

 

[eastmanc]

it might be but the BBC is a publicly funded body with a charter stating impartiality. That's the difference - it has become a parody of the standards it used to be famous for

That is a fair point but just pointing out the propaganda on sky is ridiculous.

I see Klippety is not happy about John Boy being chosen by Gareth Southgate!!
“Sometimes Gareth reacts if you are not playing for your club you cant play for the national team. Obviously there is a special thing for Mr Stones.”

Of course there is a special thing...John Boy is a very special person. But mainly what the heck has it got to do with Klippety? Which stupid so and so of a 'reporter' asked the question of the manager of a different club? If it was a question asked of Pep fair enough.
I just wish the media would all close down for a week or so and let people begin to think for themselves again!! JMHO

He's on a retainer from the Dipperpool Echo to attack us at every opportunity.

 

[Heidenreich]

Media is targeting Newcastle now. Maybe they will stop targeting us now like they did with Chelsea.

Hurray?

 

[Eccles Blue]

I'd guess it was phrased along the lines of "Joe Gomez wasn't picked for the squad because he hadn't played much, but John Stones was selected and played both games? Is that upsetting Gomez?"

Standard redtop m.o., and maybe it came straight from the Echo

Nope it was in his interview for tomorrow’s match on BBC Website. I had to double check that they were playing Fulham not City!

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

Macari has a homelessness programme running in Stoke too, I think.

He seemed a good guy from his book but he came from an era when United had more humanity than nowadays.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Think so, unless we do a striker in Jan. World Cup isn't until late next year, so will help in regards of not getting in the way of brokering something.

I've long been in the camp of hoping his form will return but it does look like a move will be best for all parties. We have got so much value from Raheem for the fee paid and hopefully will be able to at least recoup that money if he does go.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

That is a fair point but just pointing out the propaganda on sky is ridiculous.

I know. You're right it's nauseating. Obviously they are playing to their target audience and also people like me wo hate Sky and Murdoch but love City and want to watch us play (as I can't go to the Etihad at present).

I imagine the reality is we will be lumped in with any attack on Newcastle due to both being owned by dirty Arabs etc etc.

 

[BringBackSwales]

As ever the difference in the style and content of the questioning by the press of Pep and the failed paper boy was stark. All Pep seemed to get asked about was unhappy players. No change there then

Fulham or Brentford Eccles?

"Third club now owned by a country"....

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

It does seem that in any given three week period there will be at least two redshirt fans

And another Rag again this week predicting the scores with Lawrenson..... actor Tom Hughes (never heard of him)

 

[Blue Mist]

Neither had Lawrenson he just requested a rag fan as usual.

They are already regurgitating the old 'top players only want to move to London ' garbage they still throw at City. Does anyone know any top players we missed out on that would have made a huge difference to the amazing success we have seen?

 

[Rochdale Blue]

"Third club now owned by a country"....

Guaranteed CL places and the data base hackers also worried whether ffp is working. He should put thousands of the world's smallest violins on every seat in the kop.

 

[WARBABY]

Klopp on about human rights he should look at his own country and see how they treat the Turks in their industries.

 

[crazyg]

He seemed a good guy from his book but he came from an era when United had more humanity than nowadays.

Like the owner selling dodgy meat for school dinners, throwing players out of club houses when they couldn't play again etc ,etc?
That kind of humanity?

Is that because no-one wants to play for Ole?

they get around FFP for a ground they could never afford to build *cough Cough*
