Media thread 2022/23

[BolinCell]

Of course your right, the thousands of negative articles each season are cancelled out by the begrudgingly given positive articles when we come back from 2-0 down and Haaland scores his first hat trick.

Why would the press target the disallowed goal? It was disallowed as it wasn’t a goal in the eyes of the ref, so yet it could of been given, but correctly wasn’t, you sound a little gutted.

Also, funny your whole post is indicating no press bias, whilst the overwhelming evidence is right in front of us on a daily basis, confirmed not only by City themselves but people on here who work in that profession.

Ederson offers City far more positives to our whole style of play than negatives, so he and more importantly Guardiola couldn’t give a fûck what you think, but good on you for bringing another negative to your post, outstanding work.

The press go for everyone not just us. Only last week the rags were getting it from all angles. And next week it will be someone else. As for Ederson, I'll leave that for the appropriate thread.

If the big Norse God only had 3 touches a game and they were all rebounds off his arse, as long as he was putting up the numbers where it counts I couldn't give a shiny fuck.

When ever before has a striker been evaluated by number of touches ? I can't remember one. Going back a long time, players like Paolo Rossi and Gerd Muller - you'd never see them involved for long periods until they stuck the ball in the net, which they did regularly and in the biggest games. Like - who gives a fcuk about a player's touches ?

Is Shamoon Hafez a Liverpool fan?

My guess is he is.

When did Liverpool get awarded the PL title for not suffering consecutive league defeats since March 2021?

But they didn't.(Shamoon)

Don't know where to put this but I guess Twitter is part of the media.

City have been putting out a lot of good content for Pride weekend the past 3 or 4 days. The comments underneath the tweets have been disappointing to say the least.

Most were from new fans in the Middle East and America and many were disgusting. It's twitter, so it's to be expected but I don't like some of these new fans who have only just started following.

I don't expect many replies but I needed to say it.

I don't care where your from, what you look like, who you put your dick in. If you hate the dippers and the red shite your alright with me

You have to remember, their 'rivalry' is with the rags, not proper football teams

Gylfi Siggurdsons victims, allegedly?

Is there a website that counts every touch of Premier league players? Would be interesting to see where all the strikers sit.

They honestly don’t mate, it is clear and organised against City and the negative articles are many times more than any other club.

As for united, they definitely do get more stick then they used to, but nowhere on the scale of City, and watch/read any of the major sports sites and they even now get far more more positive articles then any other club, some of them are basically fanzines/supporter channels, the scousers aren’t far behind in the bullshit articles.

Look at how their 9-0 was greeted compared to when City hammer a team, the difference is clear.

He is a united fan, I checked his Twitter when he started doing the in match summaries on the BBC, he basically used it to take constant digs against City and was obsessed with City having any empty seats, haven’t seen him on them for a while.

Is it just me but if the keeper saves a penalty its not a missed penalty it's a saved penalty. A missed penalty is when the taker misses the goal.

From the bbc after the penalty was saved

Always from the taker's point of view it's a miss. From the goalie's, it's saved, but whenever we had a pen and not scored, whether it's gone over the bar, past the post or the goalie has saved it, I've always thought "Fuck, he's missed it!"
