Media thread 2022/23

[aguero93:20]

Just thought that, amid all this clickbait media bullshit from gaslighting WhatsApp wankers about City being robotic and dull, maybe some people might appreciate a take from an old-school Fleet Street football writer who really knows the game. The above are tweets by Norman Giller, senior football correspondent for the Daily Express in the sixties and seventies, when it had the biggest circulation in the land.

He posted the above after watching City dismantle Liverpool and Arsenal, respectively. He's now in his 80s and still writes books in his retirement, having watched football for well over 70 years. He's also a Spurs fan, but no one's perfect. Anyway, thought it nice to cite an informed journalistic view that doesn't have to be viewed through a prism of the desperate chase for redshirt clicks.

Spurs ****. Fuck him :)

Snide nasty **** needs sorting, how can an adult behave like that and still be in a job?

I’ve been so moved by this I’ve actually emailed him to say “thank you”

What is the fucking relevance of “petro dollar”? The cunts brought in FFP to stop us spending anything other than what we generate from the football club, and that was 2011, TWELVE fucking years ago. I saw a thread in here that showed we were THIRTEENTH in the net spend table over the last 5 years. Even IF they had a point in 2012 (which they didn’t) they certainly don’t now. Cunts the lot of em

She actually makes me feel physically sick.
I've got a wide-screen tv and her railings take up 90% of the picture.

You could imagine her being a gobby horrible twat at school giving it the big one. Just can't take to her at all.

It’s her fucking voice that does me, if she is on the radio I turn over every time

Imagine someone doing that to you in your private life. The restraint of the fourth official was admirable

Ffs.......

Don't think Mahrez is quite ready to hang up his boots and take up punditry just yet

Ah we are playing word association……..”horse spunk”

Unsure on the first guest though.

Alas, poor Terry Yorath. I knew him Horatio."

Even looks like Yorath. Yes, I know he should be the football. Poetic licence.

Lol, all it takes is a Viking !

I met two US tourists in a pub in Oxford on Saturday(on my way down for the Fulham game). They were from Arizona and when I told them I was from Manchester they said: "Wow we know all about Manchester City." As any City fan of my vintage knows that was not the answer I was expecting. While on my travels all over the world for decades I have become sick of hearing about "the other lot." As one famous citizen of the US once sung: "The times they are a changing."

Appalling behavior. 4th official has done nothing wrong. I’ll be surprised if PIGMOL don’t look into this.
