Media thread 2022/23

Sly, making all all sorts of excuses such as second string starting. Nunez hitting the bar. If it was us that lost no doubt there would a negative slant on the report.

The only time a City player gets mentioned in the media for hitting the bar is usually where Champagne is £250 a bottle and some blonde bimbo on his arm

The Daily Mail on Salzburgs win - "Darwin Nunez was lively and could have scored a hat-trick in the first-half"

"How new Liverpool Striker not scoring any goals is as good as scoring a hat-trick."

Also: "Liverpool ended the season last year shattered, with their dream of the quadruple flittering away in the last two games of what remains an unforgettable and remarkable campaign"

It will be forgotten within a year. Their domestic cup penalty shoot out 0-0 double is hardly going to live long in the memory of anyone other than liverpool fans.

Just had a quick look at rawk (I don't know!!), and the 'bold predictions for next season' thread is hilarious.
Most going for a dipper title (obvs), one saying 'red mancs will still be shit but will take points off rivals, leading to comfortable dipper league win', another that scouse will win league with 90pts, some that City will not be top2, but one guy predicting we will break 100pts, again!
I would attach the link, but don't want the deserved backlash for such an action...

Bold Prediction - If they lose either Van Dijk or Allison to injury for any period over 6 weeks they'll finish outside the UCL spots.

Jesus and Zinchenko are never our of the papers now lol

A majority of rawk think they will win the tile, got to say I am shocked

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Mail this morning full of shit about Russo not just on sports pages but in news section as well. Came on as sub missed sitter , did a hope full back heal, got lucky as goals made a cocktail up. Now she's the greatest thing since Pele, are their no other rags playing ? For them to drool over.Next season will be even worse with Scouse women in Premier league ragettes prepare for obscurity.
Read that little girl who was dancing is being signed by Leeds that will cure her of any rag nonsense. Good luck to her future Lioness.

COCK not cocktail, bloody predictive text

If you're going to be pedantic about your own post, then it's also heel rather than heal and hopeful rather than hope full.
Not that I've much room to criticise anyone. :)

There's also a space before a question mark, a space before a comma, no space after a full stop and a comma where there should be a semicolon. I'm now going to tell myself to fuck off.

One of them had the audacity to beat man you know, there will have been tears in some households about that.

What does this even mean?

 

[Asa's left peg]

Awaiting - 'Why Nunez not scoring is good for Liverpool'

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

You feel woman's success should be a footnote then?

Probably why they have been screaming for equal right for years I guess.

Just let it go over your head, I fail to see how it can even be an issue and it isn't just you btw but it isn't a good look when blokes whine on about such stuff and then claim it isn't even real football they play lol

It isn't even about being woke or simping as some twats on twitter call it.

It is called having a daughter and it being good to see that maybe my future granddaughters will be encouraged to play whatever sport or do a job they want to do even if it isn't stereotypical for girls according to some gimps on the internet.

Some posters need to chill and maybe broaden their horizons, the England women's Rugby Union and Cricket teams (as are the 'Lionesses') are a good watch imho. Plus it helps that they are generally a fair bit better than their opponents at the moment.

Rekindles a bit of patriotic spirit.

I presume you haven’t looked at the NME website in recent years since they scrapped the printed version.

It’s lightyears away from the publication I bought every week in the 80’s and 90’s.

The NME websites aim ( like the Telegraph article mentions ) is clicks. Their focus is now on popular acts and can’t imagine anybody that used to buy the publication bothers to look at the state of what it has become.

The comment about Beyonce is sadly very relevant.

sooner that magazine goes out of business the better.

Gone awful, and like you regualrly bought it week in week out.

Remember when they were giving them away for free a few years ago

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Slightly different opinion from the other bloke then, he just seemed to mention women's sports, as opposed to all sports.

As a sports fan, I don't mind, news is available in many forms from the net to radio to dedicated 24-hour news channels.

See my post about City's very recent pre-season tour to somehere in Europe (Foden, Stones, gundo etc), still not sure if it actually happened......................... Can't find a bean about it..

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

So, if you're not a fan of women's football, you're sexist?
I don't watch league 1 because it's not very good, am I league 1ist?

Like everything, it's a choice. I'll watch what I choose to watch, not necessarily what I'm told to watch.

If someone told me I am a '........ist' of any variety, I'd simply tell them to 'Fuck right off'.

What if they said you were a pacifist? Seems like an inappropriate response then :)

I think I've got a copy of the last ever free edition somewhere.

Not a patch on what it was in the 80/90's
