Media thread 2022/23

Anyone seen the managers press preview yet? Haven’t seen Pep look so intense and stressed as this before. He did seem to relax a little as the interview progressed, however he really did appear quite stressed out to me. On a more positive note, Kev, and Ruben totally relaxed and chilled

Pep at the best of times hates the fucking media and would sooner be doing something more positive than to discuss all things shit that they ask.
Stress my arse.

Your first sentence is spot on in my experience “in real life”.
Even got liverpool fans at work genuinely say they hope we win it (to stop united going on about the treble), and the odd united fan begrudgingly wishing us on.
They’ve completely misjudged the mood haven’t they?

I think it is more a case of they are trying to create the mood and tell people what to think, mate.

They wish us well but will explode with joy should the tallies score.

So, who do BT Sport add to their coverage?
Kompany? Zabba? No
Stevie slippy Gerrard. Wtf

I predicted if weeks ago, it’s so obvious.

Have you seen the interview?

Yes I watch all interviews and this was no different to any of the others.
I think you`re reading/looking at it negatively, when in reality theres nothing to be seen.
He looked and heard so much better when discussing with the Spanish journo than he did with all the rest, even though I didn`t understand any of it.
Nothing to see here. Lets move on and concentrate on the bigger picture for everyone connected with our Club.

I think there will be grudging praise if we win but deep down, a seethe and anger at how great we have become.
Some though will not be able to hide their rage.

Perfectly stated. Well said, lad.

Interesting article. Totally jaundiced. I wonder what article if any he'd have written if Sheikh Mansour had invested in Aston Villa? That's academic. If he has a beef with big business and global capitalism he should focus on that. Having a go at City with a nostalgic eye is utterly pointless and banal. Global capitalism is here to stay until the next financial crisis at least. He just wants to rain on our parade. What a villain?!

The dismal story of modern football can be summed up in two words: Manchester City | Phil Mongredien

Champions League glory is within the grasp of this team of well-heeled superstars. But I remember when football was an actual competition, says Guardian journalist Phil Mongredien

www.theguardian.com

He sounds like Villa's version of David Conn.

He doesn't seem to go have noticed that Villa isn't owned by Doug Ellis anymore. In fact, the Villa owners are worth around £10bn between the two of them.

Fuck him and all the other bitter, obsessed cunts in the media. I'm going to watch my team on possibly the most exciting and important day in our entire 129 year history tonight.

And I hope, if we do make history, their fucking heads explode with rage or their internal organs dissolve from all the acid they produce.
