Media thread 2022/23

The line a lot of the media are now going with is we could be expelled from the PL. The real point that they all love saying is the EFL won't accept us as there is no provision in the rules for an extra team.
So the PL are going to run with 19 teams for the next 50 years ? At a time when clubs are struggling financially they will be happy to have one less home match. Yeh right.
How about some honest reporting and say 4 teams would be promoted and we would have the place in what ever division thats left, but no, they would rather rather write shite that makes rags wet themselves.

Good letter in today’s Times:

Another example of Manchester City fakery. They can't even spell Alan correctly. Basic spelling mistakes of common English first names is a joke and wouldn't stand if Gary Cook was still in charge. How I pine for the simpler times of Chad Evans and Sean Goater.

Sky reporting the Rags actually had a great result against Leeds, this against a team that had scored just 4 goals since the World Cup. Then lauded a Sancho goal that was fucking bad keeping but the commentator was jizzing himself. Ffs, the narrative is fucking sickening.

We should have taken FFP to the Courts years ago.

City probably don't want to challenge FFP as it stops other clubs from being bought and challenging us.

Newcastle are currently held back for a number of years because of it.

Yep, just showed a back page headline by some no mark in the Mail (I think) which has the headline about Sancho:

"Comeback Kid!"

He scored a goal that should have been a routine save from he keeper, how these wankers sleep at night is beyond me.

Bloody hell, they're not serial killers, they're just doing their job and flogging newspapers.

And lying in the process. You call that a job?

Yes. I'm always amazed that people on here care.

There is so much truth in this. Before Covid, SSN was always on in our house. Apart from the two title wins and our CAS victory, I never watch it now. It's lost a lot of respectability since it started to compromise on the principle of impartiality.

On the whole, I'm much happier for completely disconnecting from the saturated sport that is football, outside of watching games. I don't watch any pre or post-match bullshit. Half-time is for leaving the room and doing something else. I don't need or want the opinions of ex-players. I don't need or want a summariser when a single commentator is more than adequate.

The glee and euphoria on the part of supposedly credible media outlets at the announcement of us having been charged by the Premier League reminded us of who these people really are. They outed themselves. By God, they're going to be disappointed when this comes to a conclusion.
