Media thread 2022/23

Don’t have a problem with Ferdinand celebrating RM goal. He’s ex Utd player and probably now supports them and it was off camera.

On camera he was professional and complimentary about City as he usually is.

What I find sad is the tweet showing him celebrating. But this is all down to the tiresome modern phenomena of pundits being celebrities and taking part in “bantz”.

No particular liking of Ferdinand but there are other media figures who need calling out far more than him.

I think you’re missing the point. If it were Real Madrid playing Manchester United, Micah Richards would’ve been nowhere near the studio. Pundits would be any three of Ferdinand, Keane, Hargreaves, Dublin, Scholes etc. There’d be no City pundit in there to celebrate.

Sounds like a disastrous night at the Bernabeu.

That twat at the BBC is presumably happy he didn't have to suffer the ignominy of City just rolling Madrid over with no jeopardy.

Until next week, that is :)

Colin Bell stand, you know your duty next Wednesday. Can add a “Humphreys is a”… as well

I agree with the sentiment. Problem is that BT need the viewers and sadly it’s Utd and Liverpool players that are likely to bring in the viewers due to the size of their teams support.

You really think more people watch Madrid vs City, which is only on BT in the UK, because of the special pull of Ferdinand?

Why the hell do we care what the media cunts have to say. I laugh every time I see it. They hate us cause they ain’t us, they wish they had half the organization we have.

I'm afraid this is no longer a problem (which has a solution) it has become a fact of life like the sun rising in the east persistently.

In my working life I was advised to recognize the difference between these 2 categories and only concern myself with things I could solve.

No Ferdinand on his own or any pundit will not be a big enough pull.
I am probably wrong but part of the package is having pundits from a team that has the most supporters ( customers).

Well BBC Radio 2 this morning has pulled all of the sports sections from the news slots, as far as they are concerned the only semi last night was that singing competition in liverpool

Humphrey trying to roll back this morning by ignoring the 700-plus replies to his tweet last night and instead saying be likes Grealish. What a fucking creep. Give him and Ferdinand the full treatment next week

We lack punch, ruud gullit and Andy gray also said last night on bein sports we just pass without purpose. A draw away to the current champions, an fa cup final and top of the league...

Which proves that their broadcasts are not for City fans who want to watch their own team, but for bitter redshirts instead
