Media thread 2022/23

[franksinatra]

While I agree with your argument, and don't do any Social media myself I find it frustrating that these idiots are starting to appear on mainstream media, both TV and Radio.

The retweets of their stupidity is typically the first step. Tv and Radio would not entertain them if people didn't listen to them.

Nice one pal.
I have had a couple of PM's from Doddy on this forum ( who was also one of the topboys back in those days)
and I think he is still in touch with him as well as a few other faces from the 70s.

John passed away a few months ago. (RIP).

I was just going to send you a PM Alan, to ask you to have a look at the photo on this thread with the City boys on it.
Would you also agree that John is on that photo,and also do you know any of the other lads on it.
The guy next to John looks like him.
Is that his brother Tommy ??
Also RIP Johnny Muir. Another top blue gone to the big Kippax in the sky.

 

[bluemanchester]

The MUEN had one of those Manchester way back when photo pages up, and I came accross these Likely lads.

Anyone recognise themselves outside Maine rd?

That looks inside Maine Road. The back of the Kippax. I can tell by the manicured grass verge that Swales spent thousands on. Even as rough as the grass looks the toilets behind the Kippax were worse. Question for old mooners, did anyone have a crap in those toilets, be honest.

Not a chance. I'd have shit myself first ;0

Fuck, I didn't know... not heard from any of the old Mirror lads about it. R.I.P. Blue.

Not the hill I would choose to die on, but if he wants Haaland to be his thing, that's up to him I guess.

For me, I would be keeping a bit quiet after being found out for his "linked to Chelsea" v "signed for Man City" comments.

Because for him, that's humiliating.

Just imagine what the bellend would be saying if Chelsea had signed Erling! What a complete and utter muppet! Where was this early pressure from West Ham he mentions? The response is because he contradicts him self every other sentence!

The state of the HYS comments. It's the worst I've read for a long time. And they don't care a about liccle ol' Citeh.

 

[cheekybids]

He is a chelsea fan was waxing lyrical about him when they were linked to him! he just another bitter jealous click bait wanker!

It’s now act like a thick fcuk=£ this is what society has come to!

Sounds like Howson on Pep “he brings no guarantee of success”

Clicked on it. I can feel their pain.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

The irony that's lost on all these embittered snides that put us in the stocks and throw rotten veg at us is that the club, the manager, the players and the fans thrive on the constant hate and vitriolic attacks, its what's drives us on and makes us more determined to succeed, knowing that every shiny new trophy hurts them more and more.

If they showered us with praise, declared us the best at everything, made documentaries about us after winning one league title, produced numerous click bait articles bigging us up then it may have the opposite effect and soften us up, thus reducing our drive and determination and ultimately our success.

Stupid twats!

You can imagine the first presentation/briefing following a player signing, ‘Bitter, FFP, No Respect, Obvious and Clear. Understand that, drink it in, my son, and you won’t go wrong. Welcome to the real Manchester’.

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

What an absolute wanker

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

He doesn't raise his voice in many games anymore, think it's his age and his voice going. Read other forums and some fans all say the same, 'that 'x' commentator didn't raise their voice so they can tell he hates us!'

Also, he didn't insinuate that Haaland dived it was the rhyme between Sterling and Erling.

Some of you sit at this thread with tin foil hats.

I think you’re talking shit ;-)

His whole attitude changed when we went ahead, even with the thought of it. However, I wouldn’t put it just down to an anti-City thing, there’s the thought of Neville or Carragher sat next to him who, as we have all seen, really do go on a downer when they think it may affect their club.

Then, you have to take in the editorial where they need to ’Sell the brand’ to the subscribers. Being down on us appeases their main subscriber base.

He‘s just part of the system to sell football to the masses.

Back when football was cheap enough to have both a ST and a Sky subscription, things were good. Today, due to everything that is going on, folk need to make a choice of either or neither.

I'll just say it now so goes under the radar, but Erling is one rubbery faced wierd looking fucker.

He's like a scandanavian Phil Cool.

Reminds me of a snake-like chameleon, but who give a fuck as long as he scores goals.

 

[lancs blue]

They are wearing penny round shirts ,which were only in fashion for a year or two, maybe 1972/3.

I had a couple of those around that time, but I wouldn't have remembered what they were called!

As I replied to the OP I have a very good memory, particularly football, fashion,music and faces.
That's why I was able to remember 3 of the faces on that photo,even though I haven't met in real life for around 50 years.

 

[hammocity]

I worked with him up til ten years ago at The Mirror print site in Hollinwood. He was still a game un' ;-)

Do you know one of my golf rag mates, (good lad though), Geoff Glover?

 

[hammocity]

I had a couple of those around that time, but I wouldn't have remembered what they were called!

The same time roughly as Tonics, Sylvesters, Cromby coats, Ben Sherman checked shirts, platform shoes, Barathea Blazers, Star Jumpers, Football Jumpers, hooped socks, glam rock era.

I’d rather have crapped my pants before using the Kippax toilets.
