Media thread 2022/23

[burning blue soul]

But they do. It's often mentioned they haven't won the league since Fergie left and how not qualyfying for champions league isn't good enough. Your in denial and TBH it's f*kin embarrassing. Just been on red and white kop, at half time all they can talk about is how the ref's bent but completely ignoring the fact they have been outplayed. This media bias sh*t, corrupt draws and refs under orders to stop us is akin to that-embarrassing.

I agree. Some refs are bent, some are just shite, and some are half decent.
But what they all have in common is a guaranteed lack of media scrutiny for any contentious favourable decision given to a team playing against City, or against City favouring their apponent.
The media run that narrative, and a lack of outrage by the media, and by extension the public, means the media favourites get the rub.
There is absolutely no way ever, ever, we get that offside goal the rags got at their place. There are only 2 teams who can get that decision.
That is where the corruption lies, in the court of public (media) opinion

Mcpointalot asking Elliott to look for a penalty when he wasn’t even touched ? Anyone clock that ?
Absolutely vile

 

[Sir peace frog]

Daily star headline of our match last night

Worst ref ever’ gifts Man City penalty before Ederson escapes red for karate-kick

He claimed Elliott was too honest, mcpointy needs his eyes testing. Someone yesterday decided to compare Eddy's rush of blood to the incident with Mane and quickly shut up when he remembered who got sent off.

BBC Sport now.

Among all players within the big five European leagues, only Marcus Rashford (15) has scored more goals across all competitions in 2023 than Napoli's Victor Osihmen (13).

Osimhen became the first Napoli player to score in both legs of a Champions League knockout stage.

His brace in this game was also the first scored by a Nigerian player in the knockout stages of the competition.

It’s embarrassing, how much journalists lick the red arses.

A "No Entry" sign with reference to Alison?

Can't wait for the Telegraph to find out what happened in the first leg. It'll blow their tiny minds.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Dippers lost.

What time will the next big "Man City are cheating bastards" story drop?

 

[argyle]

I seen the punditry from Carragher on the american channel.

How can someone like that get away for a broadcaster making childish sly little digs about city.

Called us cheats etc

He was joking, the CBS format is like that.

Noel and Micah were making jokes about utd and liverpool too.

 

[argyle]

Forest fan having a complete meltdown

why post it and give him the clicks and views that he wants?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Michael Owen is definitely on ket.

That's the Fazakerley Telegraph surely?? A national newspaper wouldn't print shite like this......would they?

 

[argyle]

Just watched the analysis on ESPN and can I add Frank Leboeuf to the list of cockwomble pundits

What a complete bitter bastard he is. Gave us zero credit and blamed poor reffing and Leipzig being poor.

Also said Haaland was lucky

The ESPN pundits take it in turns to play good cop/bad cop.

Next time it will be someone else's turn and Leboeuf will praise us.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Michael Owen is definitely on ket.

What time is that running at Cheltenham?

 

[eyalluvitt]

So basically he's a Brent Copper.

 

[argyle]

Before kick off Ferdinand I think it was came out with something like “when you’ve got history you don’t need light shows”, sad twat.

It was a joke. He then went on to completely praise the light show and said he wished utd and other clubs would start doing them too.

Plenty to criticise people in the media about but people on here need to be less thin skinned.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Because he is a Forest fan.

His real name is Brent Di Cesare, ex-copper from Nottingham.

Has created a Alan Partridge like character called Mark Goldbridge and found a niche in the YouTube football market by running a couple of football channels. One is the Utd Stand and the Other is That's football.

Rags have a big online following and that's what's he's tapped into that makes him a shit load of money.

Most actual rag fans despise him and you hardly ever see him on other channels apart from his own and Ben Fosters channel.

He's as plastic as a seat at the swamp(which I'm pretty sure he's never been to)

A Forest fan? That explains why he is so hard on United’s Brazilians

 

[Franny 1234]

Totally agree with you argyle.
Stop posting the forest fan and promoting his RAG propaganda. CTID

I was answering the quote in response to there “not being a single negative comment”.
Believe it or not, I avoid the pre match bollocks, because it’s precisely that, I turned it on with literally minutes to go, and that was the first thing I heard, so went and washed the pots and blow torched my anus until the actual kick-off, nothing to do with thickness of skin.
