Media thread 2022/23

[Bez]

Strangely quiet in the press regarding the PL charges against City. After the feeding frenzy and the initial hysteria there has been very little.

Interesting to see an article with Arsene Wenger a couple of weeks ago saying that City only have a small chance of losing. This is the man who railed against City when the club started buying players from Arsenal.

I wonder whether the press have now realised following various off record conversations with lawyers etc that the PL charges are in reality a dead duck. Only time will tell.

Didn’t we get the same quad crap from the media a few seasons back, just click bait.

We were possibly the closest to it, missed penalty at the Spuds in the away game and the controversial Spuds goal. At least we had the “consolation” domestic treble and scored goals in both Wembley finals something the Dippers failed to do.

McCoist was decent,the paranoia on here is off the scale at times

He was as far as that goes, however he's a mumbler and I've not a clue what he's saying half the time.

Your Spanish must better than most on here, do you know what Roberto Carlos and Pep actually said? There’s videos of the clips doing the rounds on twitter and I just don’t trust Liew to translate it accurately.

I think the really egregious part is that he uses the phrase “most harrowing moments” when it’s my understanding Carlos was speaking in a documentary months after the game and basically called all Barca fans racist, to which Pep slightly insensitively responded he didn’t know enough about Barcelona fans to speak and should shut up.

It was probably not a great reaction from Pep, but it certainly wasn’t said in the “most harrowing moment” or when Carlos needed support.


So it seems like he’s not just bent over backwards to include Guardiola, he’s completely misrepresented the events and timeline of 1997.

Well what a surprise.

I'm stunned that has happened.

Cockroaches the lot of them.

Yeh but if Guardiola wasn't such a massive racist then we wouldn't have to........... ;-)

Is that why we have had no black players since Yaya?

Yes you are correct it was the media going on about us going for the "Quad" and not us fans, unlike the supporters of the Dippers and Rags.
But the main difference was, that when we were knocked out of a comp and couldn’t acheive the task the media set, we were mocked for it unlike the Dippers last season and the Rags this season when reality finally lands home
