Media thread 2022/23

[SebastianBlue]

You can see the media salivating at the prospect of a Haaland goal drought to start his competitive career with us. They’re probably getting together today for a ritual sacrifice of their least favourite pets to the sporting gods to try to make it happen, the Whatsapp group acting as the high priests, shrouded in red, drinking the blood of the fallen animals and chanting “Erlying Fraaudland, Erlying Fraaudland, ERLYING FRAAUDLAND”.

Jonathan Wilson says haalands tweet about buying Percy pigs was a dig at “controlling” city. Dear me. It’s taking the piss out of the sun story the week before

Desperate to see him fail, he got into a lot of decent positions yesterday and with sharper service from Kev there are reasons to be encouraged going forward. The hyperbole of losing a friendly is laughable.

I thought he was fine yesterday. Not at his best, mind, but that is to be expected. He could have had a few more chances if Mahrez or Grealish would have looked up to find him (or if Kev had been on his game), as well.

But as soon as Nunez scored, and Haaland didn’t, we all knew what was coming.

They’re already running farcical stories about his daily life and now his performances in an attempt to unsettle him from the off.

Suspect many of those in the Dipper end weren't English but they weren't Scouse either

Norse Not Scouse more like.

The perfect storm for the unbiased neutral media yesterday, Haaland misses a sitter from 10 yards, Nunez bags a sitter from 5 yards and the cruelly discarded to Arsenal Gabby J scores a hat trick to add to his other 65 goals in pre season

All of them in the media are scared of The Cult's fanbase - literally scared - they dare not criticise or show a lack of favouritism toward that club for fear of the reaction. None of them will admit it but it's true.

Yep, the vast majority of them are just showing what snide snivelling little shithouse’s they really are not calling it out.

All commentators and pundits know if they favour the Rags or Dippers they will more than likely keep the gig , its a popularity contest , nothing to do with facts or the football that is played in front of them , there a re a few with integrity , Keane ,Souness, are a couple who simply do not tow the line and have non agenda driven opinions.
But the vast majority of pundits are yes men/women who adhere to the agenda for the pay-check , why are we surprised a successful City team is bad for the product , a successful Dipper/Rag team is £££££££££.

Our end was bad

Big group of yanks, all with half n half scarves started to group together at full time

Spoke to a couple of them. Asked them how they got tickets. Very subdued.

One from Florida was, he said he was a City fan. Another from New York said he was a neutral.

I need to get into this business. I can get easily 15+ tickets for away games via lads with points. We should start flogging them to foreigners at top price.

We could just have a piss up in the pub

Was it difficult to get a ticket?
