Media thread 2022/23

[Gingers Dad]

Some of our supporters are paranoid, of course they are; every club must have them. Isn’t the point that every rational supporter I know can see the press we get for what it is. And that tendentious press coverage doesn’t just extend to the club, but us as supporters. The way these Hillsborough chants have recently been reported vs ‘Lizzie’s in a box‘ being a…err…clear and obvious case in point. It’s an absolute fucking disgrace and unfortunately partly a consequence of the respective club’s media strategies.

We, as supporters, are collateral damage from City’s strategy, basically. It’s why, for the first time since he came, I’m genuinely annoyed with Pep for fuelling that narrative. Fucking fuming actually.

Was drinking with two old Dipper mates in Liverpool last week before the match. They think the media love us.

The Home Secretary would quickly overturn it with a pardon.

That power (nominally, as It is technically a Royal Prerogative) rests with the Lord Chancellor, not the Home Secretary, so unlikely!

Which one?

Lying about City is one thing, especially as the club is so effete in the way it deals with it, but when it extends to us supporters then I think we’ve got at right to be pissed off about it.

I agree.

IF we end up in Istanbul with these cunts it will be carnage.

The problem with lying on public platforms is you then stop believing them on important messages.

No wonder people can’t agree on Brexit, Ukraine, Covid. You know they lie so do you believe anything?

To be fair we had a good session before and after. Funny thing is they never mentioned any of the chanting that's been overblown all week. Just asked why Henderson was singled out for some treatment

Pep should have left it as he did not hear anything. He perhaps should have added all managers have an obligation not to fan fuel to hostilities. Leave it in Klopp’s court.

I know it's fighting talk on 5live but Pat Nevin just had a proper rant about American owners taking over the Premier League and now it's gone too far to stop them fucking the league up.

Did you not see the officiating in Copenhagen?

It will be a miracle if we make it to final.
Just don't think they want us there
