Media thread 2022/23

[SSBlue]

Pep may not be perfect but he is clever in so many ways.

When you watch his pressers, there's no doubt who the smartest guy in the room is, and he knows it.

In a room full of journalists that's a very low bar.

Only on social media which unfortunately major sports stations now see it as a requirement to reflect the jealous/racist/bigots & bitter fans of other clubs instead of what is being seen on the pitch. I expect it from Talkshite/sky and all the papers owned by the mirror group (MUEN/Star/Express/Sunday Express who are in Uniteds/Liverpools pockets and always have been ) but not The BBC who are now party to this agenda

Don’t forget the Grauniad calling potential directors of Newcastle “a row of grinning beards”.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Did she say that, blimey they don’t need to say in code anymore

Might as well added after City…owned by brown skinned Moslems who have been ruining football forever.

Or there may be no racial connotation at all,and you are just on a sad,pathetic,unfounded,and antagonistic,rant

 

[KS55]

The media all followed up the distorted story they had been fed which essentially claimed City had been caught "bang to rights" and UEFA was going to throw the book at us. In fact it was a tissue of lies which was designed purely to smear us. The court documents from CAS subsequently made it clear there was no evidence of any wrongdoing. I wonder how the UEFA investigation into the leak is going!

I asked UEFA about that enquiry. No reply!

I've turned on football focus, it must be the most boring show in football.

Now lecturing people on the football carbon footprint. Just fuck off it's a show about football supposedly. You can't watch anything these days without a lecture on something.

You can think as you wish.

It is clear that the race and religion of the owner of our club has a significant factor in how we are reported on by every type of media/social media, certainly not the only factor, but it definitely plays a major part.

Though I must say, it will be very interesting to see what happens with the new owners of the red clubs when they emerge and see the hilarious about turns from a large part of the media if those owners are from the Middle East.

I will,ta.

Of course race is a significant factor,in certain circumstances,but it should not be the go to reason as it often is with far too many agenda driven loons.

It clearly will surprise you....but we are disliked by rivals for many other reasons.

We are certainly disliked for various reasons, but the fact that someone’s race and/or religion plays any part in being one of those reasons (a significant one IMO) is pathetic…

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Arsenal - gone quiet now spending and doing well.

Burnley - relegated but see above thanks to a City legend.

Chelsea - nothing to be said £££££

Leicester - dubious investment and ownership.

Liverpool - Tried every trick, failed and now for sale to ANYBODY.

Manchester United - see above with bells on.

Newcastle - "Oh it's all gone quiet on the Tyne"

Tottenham - No dog in any fight, shut up.

Wolverhampton - wtaf.

Sheff Utd told them to get stuffed, will be glad to see them back in the prem.

Hiw the fuck can the Jimmy Saville corporation give us a lecture about our carbon footprint. They send fuckers all round the world to report on shit.

Today we had the usual carbon footprint, LGTBQ feature and women's football. Every fucking time you turn anything on regarding football we get a lecture. Just fuck off.

 

[threadkiller]

And don't forget they circulated this letter before our case had been considered by CAS. They wanted us banned without any due process. An unbelievably vindictive act motivated by malice and primarily driven by LFC, MUFC, and Arsenal. Also remember that at the same time this letter was sent senior people from the FSG and Glazer camps were privately briefing the New York Times and the Times with confidential financial information about City which had been leaked to them from inside the EUFA Investigatory Chamber. As Khaldoon said: "Organised and clear."

Was there any commercially sensitive information leaked? I remember the leaks being about the state of the closed door investigation, and announcing decisions before they were officially decided.

It’s Green Football Weekend so not too surprising that they mention it

Wolves 2 up against Liverpool, but……

No race or colour connotations.....you should change your name to FantasyThinking ffs !!

I don't disagree but to play the card for no other reason than the voices in your head is fucking potty.

Seems we have a few on here.

It was all supposed to be confidential. My understanding is that the evidence we gave to UEFA (before we stopped co-operating) was passed to senior people at LFC and MUFC before it later reached the media. The media stories were a filtered version of events designed to damage our club.

 

[Centurions]

There may be a colour bias involved but I'd say it's more the colours blue & red than anything else.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I think there is a bit of both, perhaps in equal measure, otherwise “dirty oil money club” would be used for vitriolic attacks against Norwegian, American, Canadian, Chinese, Nigerian, and Russian ownership groups/clubs, as well.
