Media thread 2022/23

[Eric Hitchmough]

Sorry who are you talking about?

Never heard of the geezer.

Is he OK?

He’s made it his life mission to go in feet first on City at every opportunity.

 

[Goater=Legend]

I thought he wasn't a blue?

I’m going to entertain we could get the treble which considering I was still nervous on 85 mins & 3 up shows I’m still scarred by Cityitus.

The media have served up another night of shit sandwiches, they’ve written off every one of our signings & then have the nerve to then say it’s expected. Everything to pour scorn on the strategy, work ethic, talent, camaraderie, humility of Manchester City so how do give them a big “fuck off!”

One of my early memories at Maine Road was the bloke walking around the ground at full time wearing a sandwich board saying “the end is nigh” which used to sum up the mood. If we win the treble, after the victory tour I’d love the players to be called on stage wearing the board with the most ridiculous insult they’ve had.

Imagine,

KDB “I thought it was lira”
Haaland “joined the wrong club”

Etc etc

Walker
Imagine what he'd be worth if he could cross a ball

Some of the phrases the media could have used to talk about last night:

• Greatest performance Europe has seen in years
• Demolished the eternal European champions
• Set a new standard for how football could and should be played
• The inimitable genius of Guardiola
• The electric environment of the Etihad
• A flawless performance, where every player knows their role and works fluidly and seamlessly with those around him in the quest for perfection

And some of the kinds of phrases they've preferred to go with:

• State-funded
• State-backed
• Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi
• State-owned
• Lavishly-funded
• Limitless wealth
• Tainted victory
• Elephant in the room
• Unbound by financial restrictions
• State-funded state-backed state-owned lavishly-funded Abu Dhabi sportswashing project
• Ruining football
• Soulless machine

Obviously, not surprised by all this anymore... I think you could show me articles written by Liew, Delaney, Ronay, and a few others side-by-side and I wouldn't even be able to tell you the difference with all the "state-owned sportswashing" crap they insist on shoehorning in EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Ugh, who cares. We're massive. We're on top of the world. Let them all drown in their tears. Sad bastards.

 

[give it to gordon]

Roan had to mention money, the ****. Fuck off!

saw him on news at 10, is he banned from the Etihad campus ? He was by some road junction.

I don't think we should get het up or annoyed at all by the purile comments of one or two stupid pundits and media people, there will always be jealous haters out there. From what I've seen in the media, the overall commentary on last night is massively positive. Enjoy blues. Last night was simply great football.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

He'd know the meaning of "worthless".

Think the bald nonce was at the academy stadium on the Tuesday so no he'd not banned...

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

****

Sometimes there are pantomime villains who you can laugh at and take them for what they are. This **** tries to be that, but fails. He is exactly what you said - a ****.

When I see him I just want to bottle him.

 

[lancs blue]

Good article from Phil McNulty on the BBC site, he's usually fair and balanced.
