Media thread 2022/23

[Didsbury Dave]

"They are talking positively about City because they want Pep to leave" takes things to a whole new level of comedy on this thread.

Wow.

 

[Blueknows]

Even more astonishing is that KDB has never won a PL player of the month award

Even when Sergio won the golden boot he didn't get into the team of the year probably another first , mancini winning our first pl title missed out on manager of the year just another example of.ignoring our achievements

In Sergio's amazing first season with City he was nominated for Young Player of the Year but lost out to....Kyle Walker!

Jimmy Greaves for me. Magic.

It's a game of two halves Saint !!

It's better to focus on how good we are than how bad Liverpool are. Next season when the inhalers are recharged they'll come at us again and we'll be back to normal.

After the World Cup. You watch how they will have found their extra yard of pace and 100% pressing again in the new year.

Just when you thought journalism was dead....

great read. ''Haaland numberwang'' indeed.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Sounds like it should be a piece of piss.

Was going to say.....rags should be used to the smell of omonia with the pisscan stinking the place out.

Are we playing this week?

BBC "forgot" to mention we're playing in their CL radio trailer.

It's okay, Erling will remind them again on Wednesday!

They can't ignore a superstar, as much as it pains many of them.

Get on board, or be left standing at the station.

True. It’s having a domino effect now with the media and in other instances.

Kids love successful teams but they also love and follow great players. Loads of young ones are going to grow up supporting City because of the time Haaland spends here. Ticket sales seem to be better than ever as well.

Is it too late to sign Messi?

Imagine the Bellingham meltdown ;)

Indeed, considering he was back to back player of the year.

 

[its grim up north]

Dan Bardell (villa fan and journo) claimed he was a boyhood Leeds fan on the Athletic.

I believe that his Dad was at Dirty Leeds when the lad was born. But I've only ever seen him in a City strip.

Manchester United Evening News:-

"There has been a sense of inevitability to Haaland at City, and he now boasts a ridiculous 15 Premier League goals from eight matches after his third consecutive home hat-trick".

They are bloody useless.

Haaland left Leeds at 3 weeks old. He has always been a City fan.

Rwanda, to most uk people I’d guess, is known for 3 things.
1. Being a country in Africa
2. Having a genocide between it’s peoples
3. Sponsoring Arsenal football club

If there was any ‘sportswashing’ prize given out, it would be for Arsenal and Rwanda. But it’s rarely, if ever, mentioned in sports reporting of Arsenal…

Arsenal’s Rwandan sponsorship comes from our taxes. The gov paid around £65m in aid to Rwanda, of which £30m was paid to Arsenal. If any sponsorship should be investigated, it is this.

Couldn't recollect how long his Dad was there after his birth. Thanks for the info.

That wink face. I’m taking it that it’s a done deal seeing as it’s you.

...it's as though 'state sponsored' only applies to teams not in red...
