Media Thread - 2021/22

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Nice to see Ser David Beckscum who led the UK delegate to win the World Cup host bid in 2018, then losing out to Qatar and crying foul to the media. Is now a fully paid ambassador for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Going back to that overlap programme, Spitty said three times that City will play Chelsea in the champs league semi, he said it in a way that Chelsea have already beaten Real, Real may as well not even bother showing. He's an absolute arrogant **** and him and Neville saying City will see off Atletico no problems, is just reverse psychology in their tiny minds. It's certainly not a given , Atletico are a bloody good side on their day and have dangerous players.
They will have everything crossed that we go out in the quarters

What struck me about the overlap was Gary Neville describing how incompetent the Glazers are at running a football club. He said they’ve failed in every way & even the stadium needs knocking down & rebuilding, even spurs have surpassed them with their Training ground.

So why does he think they will have the best commercial department in football, just because they make huge deals & make plenty of money, evidence makes you think they’ve rested on their laurels.

It seems the World Cup Draw in that Arab country where the oil is not dirty, that has a perfect Human Rights record, does not spend huge amounts on footballers for a French football and got the right to stage the finals despite being unsuitable was one big promotional event.
No doubt some of the worms on the WhatsApp gang wormed their way and will soon be singing the praises creating two new terms Draw-washing and even Bore-washing.
Or continue blaming City and Abu Dhabi for everything.

Has Delaney or any of the other racist journo spoken out whilst dining on a free trip to Qatar?

I largely agree with this. Steven is a smashing guy and does what he does pretty well. The club certainly seem to be happy with him, which means they feel he represents us well. But I'm going to take issue with one thing.

In my opinion you can't be in his position and not be interested or have some knowledge of the key financial issues. You can't say you're bored by them. That's the main line of attack of many of our critics and, if he's representing City fans in front of other football fans and ignorant, ill-informed pundits , you have to be able to speak up and defend us. You don't need to be an expert on the minutiae of FFP, as I (sadly) am but you have to have a grasp of the basics. I'm always available to help if required.

I wouldn't have thought you'd have to be a forensic finance investigator in this case. A simple request for clarification "are you stating on recorded medium that you think City, UEFA, CAS plus our independent book keepers (whoever they may be) are corrupt, incompetent or cooking the books" should do. If the thick twat doesn't stop and think that over then it should be enough to trigger lawyers getting involved.

When I were a lad it was up till noon. After that you had basically brought shame upon your family.

Is that why you were thrown out of Failsworth?

Article in today’s Times. Reporter Paul Joyce. Headline “The step-by-step guide to winning the Quadruple”.
There follows a nauseatingly sycophantic two pages worth of all things dipper. It concludes with….”The coach’s perspective - Phil Thompson was the assistant to Houllier between 1998 and 2004”
His pearls of wisdom include “if they stay injury free then that gives them the best chance of winning all the trophies” Followed by “If there is ever a team that is going to do it (win the quadruple) it will be Liverpool. City have been in a position to win the Quadruple before but I don’t believe they have the magic that Liverpool has. That is why they are capable of doing the impossible”
I mean, where do you start with such ungrammatical and illogical jibberish.
Do they really believe this stuff?

Yes he complained that there was no pork on the menu.
