Hes a plastic dipper from Birmingham

Hard to guess he’s a dipper from that :-))))

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

On the verge of binning all football media formats , the diatribe against our club isnt just a couple of media outlets it is every outlet singing from the same hymn sheet , their intentions are transparent , they have to appease their core customers of Rags and Dippers.
Any truth in articles is just a bi-product and we will never get the praise we thoroughly deserve , so the only news i will look at in future will be on MCFC website and this forum , any matches i watch on the telly will be viewed from five minutes before kick-off and turned off immediately after the game , getting tired of the predictable bullshit and agenda trotted out by the same idiots.
Quite happy witnessing the most beautiful football ever produced by a team in this country under the best coach ever to draw oxygen , so i am going to bury my head in the sand , no more Sky , BBC , BTSport ,Newsnow , Talkshite or this media thread , ive got better things to do than be witness to jealous , envious cretins spout lies and innuendo .
We are the best team in the world , we know it ,and that is all that matters and we do not need on rare occasions anybody to blow smoke up our arses.

Can anyone remember the clamour from the media in the 90s when United were winning it season after season?

Media clamour when they stopped winning it

The other issue was his goal celebration, where he ran the length of the pitch and taunted the Arsenal fans. He was rightly booked for that, and it was clear why he was booked. Mark Hughes was told by the fourth official that he'd been booked for the way he celebrated.

But that was a problem, as he couldn't then be subject to retrospective action for it. As you said, Ian Watmore was the FA Chief Exec and an Arsenal fan, and went on 5 Live on the Sunday morning saying Adebayor would face further punishment. I was at a meeting at City on the Monday night and they told us the story, which was that Clattenburg changed his report to say Adebayor was booked for time wasting, in complete contravention to what Hughes had been told by Clattenburg, via the fourth official.

I assume there was some back room deal done, whereby Adebayor got a suspended ban for that and we agreed not to push the duplicity.

The clear corruption over the time wasting bullshit was that Adebayor's hell for leather sprint towards the Arsenal fans took only 30 seconds which was less than routine celebrations when a scorer runs towards his own fans and is mobbed in a pile on by his team mates.

He was quite a bit quicker than Dzeko was against QPR.

Do people still watch SSN?


Interesting.

Yes I watch it.

Why is that interesting ?

Makes sense. Why do the BeeB employ such bellends though….box ticking? or do they genuinely believe he is a talented sports writer ?

Surely a pre requisite would be the ability to be impartial….and to construct intelligent, thought provoking prose….

I see what you did there :)

It’s the little things that promote the red clubs that annoy me the most. Bbc sport has previews for the weekend games, they generally have the photos of the managers who are playing Saturday on a Friday, but guess what they have a picture of the mad gurner this week (they don’t play till Monday!)

They are popping up everywhere. It seems anyone can call themselves a journalist these days, when in reality it is just some random person popping up on TV or in print with an opinion and when you delve deeper an agenda.

Sun has a table of summer spending in it today - plastic scousers down as only having spent £73m - thought they paid £85m for the Uruguayan Andy Carroll alone...

Ouch!!
Being criticised by a vein-throbbing loudmouth who doesn’t understand how football business is run, and who can’t be bothered to read and understand a CAS report.
I‘m going to lie awake tonight worrying about this.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Re Chohan: you would think that CAS had not gone out of their way to note that the time barred items would not have led to a finding there was a breach. On one they said that the alleged payments took place BEFORE ffp was in place and that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY CONTINUED AFTER FFP WAS ACTIVATED.
The time barred lie is repeated ad nauseam by the press. I wrote to Winter when he repeated it; his answer was that he criticised UEFA and City equally so it was ok to get the facts wrong !

That sounds like Winter alright. A bigger
two faced snake you couldn't find. Most, like Chohan, are just thick axe grinders for their own favourite clubs. Winter gives an impression of considered, intellectual, impartiality which makes his annoncements more dangerous - until, as you say, questioned and analysed.

On the verge of binning all football media formats , the diatribe against our club isnt just a couple of media outlets it is every outlet singing from the same hymn sheet , their intentions are transparent , they have to appease their core customers of Rags and Dippers.
Any truth in articles is just a bi-product and we will never get the praise we thoroughly deserve , so the only news i will look at in future will be on MCFC website and this forum , any matches i watch on the telly will be viewed from five minutes before kick-off and turned off immediately after the game , getting tired of the predictable bullshit and agenda trotted out by the same idiots.
Quite happy witnessing the most beautiful football ever produced by a team in this country under the best coach ever to draw oxygen , so i am going to bury my head in the sand , no more Sky , BBC , BTSport ,Newsnow , Talkshite or this media thread , ive got better things to do than be witness to jealous , envious cretins spout lies and innuendo .
We are the best team in the world , we know it ,and that is all that matters and we do not need on rare occasions anybody to blow smoke up our arses.

I came to the same conclusion about 3 years ago. Don't listen to or read any shite spouted the any of the MSM.

 

[schfc6]

I’m sure I read somewhere that United were just 2 points off winning 9 in a row? Not sure if true.

When will these morons understand that it’s Pep that is doing this, not the money. Replace Pep with say an Anchelotti or Zidane and we’re not winning it every year.

Our PR is shockingly bad and has been since the takeover because we allow it to be. Both United and Liverpool have numerous paid shills to constantly pump out positive information, news and stories about them on a daily basis. We have virtually nothing. We don't appear to take a firm hand with any miscreants. In fact the exact opposite so the more they get away with the more they ramp it up. You reap what you sow. But accorning to other threads our PR department (not advertising & marketing departments - they are totally different) are doing a fantastic job. It beggars belief with me to be honest how that can be case, when as you say we get constant and sustained negativity from virtually all media channels 100% of the time. I guess it must be just me...

Rags haven't won it more than 3 in a row.
