We do have followers (both in the premier league and down the divisions), they just aren’t vocal ones, and for good reason. I think you may be thinking of the change that is happening (and coming) in too narrow of terms. It is going to be seismic, due to a confluence of factors not seen for many decades (which reaches well beyond football, by the way).

And we are counterculture, for the exact reasons you outline. I was speaking of the league culture, which is one old guard cronyism, or a closed shop, as you put it. We are by definition counter to it, as we realised we could not be members. It is pragmatism, to be sure, but many a revolutionary began as a jaded pragmatist.

I can assure you, we have been working to place ourselves in the best possible position as the chaotic transition unfolds.

Counterculture
Revolutionary

Manchester in a nutshell.

Whilst we are all crying out for unbiased coverage it’s not gonna happen. It’s getting worse.

Sky BT - it’s all the same. Riddled with ex reds of both sides from the 90s.

It’s why Sky MNF has now descended into a parody ‘thats 5 mins about tonight’s game but let’s ask Carra and Neville about Utd and LFC’.

It’s why Mark Goldberg has his own fucking show on Talksport.

Its fairly obvious the controllers of all the sports channels have gone down this route.

Look at Talksport for instance, as well as Goldberg they have dickheads like Alex Crook getting a bigger presence - encouraging him to play the one eyed southern Utd fan making snide comments about City at every opportunity. He presents a show on Sunday night that is like listening to 4 southern Utd and Liverpool fans in a pub that have never been to a game chatting absolute bollocks.

Who the fuck wants to listen to shite like that and Goldberg ( but somebody obviously does cause they keep putting it on ).

Post of the year mate!

My lad is 16 and him and his mates (unfortunately) believe everything guys like goldbridge, the bald Irish anfield agenda bell, and whoever else is you tubing and twittering about say. That's the audience they pander too these days, whilst us old fucks sit on the bog and moan about them bluemoon. I'm staggered that there are still people subscribing to sky sports!!

I never listen to the Sky pundits but made a special exception yesterday. I wanted to hear what they had to say about how quiet the Anfield crowd was for the first 30 minutes, whilst Arsenal waltzed through their defence at will. I know we would be hammered if we didn't support our team when they need it most. Instead I had to listen to them, including Micah, stating how brilliant the dippers' fans were for waking up when there was some minor handbags late in the first half. They also banged on about how "mad things" happen in that shithole....but that happens everywhere. The Aguero moment, the Bayern 3-2 late turnaround, the Sunderland 3-3 etc etc at the Etihad. All clubs have special days at their stadiums. It's years (literally) since I listened to the Sly pundits and I won't be doing it again.

Listening to Chuckle and spitty during the last few passages of play was painful 2 sides of the 1 arse.

Sickening wasn't it!! Like listening to a fanzone commentary.

Spitty On Sunday.

Wants Arsenal to win the PL title as it’s not good for the PL and English footbal that the same team wins the title constantly. Unless it’s Liverpool way back in the 70’ and 80’s. And United for 2 decades. And Arsenal and Chelsea when they were dominating PL football. During these periods of domination by 1 team, not once did I hear it was bad for English football.

Not good for the Country, the Premier League or not good for the Media ?
Good post btw

Best to avoid sky bt coverage, I've got iptv and always watch a foreign channel, there's generally no obvious bias.

 

[halfcenturyup]

I noticed the same with crowd noise. Flipping between several channels, the sound on sky was definitely muted against all the others. Because our away support made a constant racket it was really obvious.

Awooooooo ..,.....

I often think of fans of the other Premier league clubs, wolves Palace Brighton WHU etc who are expected to pay full subscriptions to listen to this DipperRag TV without their own clubs hardly ever getting a mention.
We only begrudgingly get a mention because we are Champions, but never in a good light.
But apart from that how does Sly Sports cater for the other clubs supporters who aren’t utd or Liverpool but are expected to stump up the same amount for the privilege.
Fucked it off a long time ago and would urge all the fans of those other clubs to do the same.
