Media thread 2022/23

The English press won't be happy until the Premier league teams (especially us) stop spending ,allowing la liga to spend billions and mop up all the big name players. As that is how it should be . Nobody slags real madrid for their spending. Don't know why they even follow english football, spain is where its at.

This is the whole point. Normal objective fans view us like we viewed Chelsea in the naughties, they put the cartel in their place and I loved it. I was even delighted when Chelsea won their first CL in 2012. The cartel know this and why their propaganda war needs to be won. Smear and sneer.

My Spurs supporting work colleague made a very emotional phone call to me yesterday saying he loves Pep and City & that we have saved the world from eternal damnation

What I love about this season is that when Pep won it the first time, we were told we’d have to retain it to be considered great.

Then when we won two in a row, the media told us that it didn’t count unless we won the CL.

Now we’ve won 3 in a row and are favourites in the FA Cup and CL, they’ve moved past whether we can be considered great and now we’re a threat to football.

There’s nothing we can do that will appease those shit cunts that chose a red club and went into football journalism in the 90’s because they thought they’d be paid to wax lyrical on the teams they chose to support, safe in the knowledge that they’re meaningless existence would be bolstered by feel part of a side that always won.

Well you picked wrong you cunts (Delaney, Ronay, Ziegler et al) and hope the pain of our success kills you deep to the core.

They press have continuously disrespected the greatest football manger in the history of the game and he seems determined to stay as long as he can to continue to piss on their collective chips with a special side of Catalan relish

I loved her argument. Ferguson is better than Peo because he did it when other clubs had less money… I.e. United were relatively speaking more dominant. Is she really that stupid. For god sake Sky.

Here's the objective Club Elo ratings. Elo is a rating system used in all sorts of sports, plus games like Chess & Bridge, to empirically determine strengths & rankings.

Unless he's under a false name, Baconface isn't even in the top ten in history (although Klopp and Pellegrini are).

What the media and in particular the Premier league need to realise, is that without this incredible team they wouldn’t be able to claim it’s the best league in the world!

Guardiola on the pitch and the management and board off it, I would say. There really isn't a great difference in revenues between the top clubs, and all are resticted on what they can spend, so the wealth of owners doesnt really come into it, other than on, say, infrastructure.

The differences are the genius of Guardiola, and the relative performance of the management and board compared to the disasters at the other clubs. They should be looking in the mirror rather than shouting in the wind.

It really isn't difficult to work out.

Exactly, Pep is mainly the difference. I listened to Steve Nicol last night and he said the same thing. Presenter was trying too say it's a bad thing city dominating, but he said it wasn't, as it makes the other teams try and get even better but the main difference is that city have Pep and he's the best out there. Financially most clubs have plenty of money to buy decent players but it's just city do it better.
He was quite decent to be fair.

The total devastation at Paul Dickov’s goal proves the sneering press and red ugly sisters have always despised us, money or not

Seen a lot of people giving out about this. Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see a problem with it? He’s congratulating City and praising Pep. The very point he makes about us not being as dominant when Pep leaves surely even the most ardent of City fans agree with?

He congratulated us but went on to talk about the charges on motd , also didnt need to say after pep leaves , just say congrats , the rest is a cunts trick

Yep. Like anything similar was ever said about Whiskey nose even after he announced he was leaving twice!!
