Media thread 2022/23

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Liverpool control of the media is impressive. Bellingham has clearly snubbed them but it's wall to wall 'we didn't want him anyway' coverage.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Always fun to see Miguel get his arse handed to him

Those tweets are brilliant

Delaney having a right sulk on Twitter you love to see it. Imagine watching a game like that and just moaning on with the same old shit again. Why be a football journalist if you can't even appreciate good football?

You're telling me a grown man wrote that article for 'The Independent'?

A grown man? A grown f**king man?

Deary, deary, deary f**king me.. what an absolute waste of space that twunt is..

Grown man is pushing it a little bit. He'll get there one day though. Won't you, Miggy?

"Near faultless. 7/10."

Yes, that one amused me.

"Near faultless. 7/10."

Goodness me check out the Bayern Scores.

Jamie Jackass wasn't allowed to write the report tonight.
Instead he wrote some ratings. They're quite something, as in barely worth the minimal effort he obviously put in.

Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and John Stones impressed for the hosts, while the entire Bayern backline struggled

I remember when we pissed all over them in a derby and he gave Sanchez who touched the ball ONCE after coming on as sub more than half our team

Yeah, I did a spit take when I saw that.

I hope the Independent have got some mental health protocols in place.

The problem with BT Sport is that Jake Humphries is such a desperate sycophant to the guests that they basically allowed Owen Hargreaves' Bayern bias to take over the entire show.

He just keeps repeating "it didn't feel like a 3-0, it was even" and Humphreys is kind of lost because they're showing a reel of all the chances we had to score goal number 4, 5, 6 etc. and it's obvious to absolute everyone except Hargreaves the Bayern fan that they got played off the park, but Humphreys won't push back on it at all.


Darren Fletcher is the same, he's more interested in being friends with Hoddle, Ferdinand, McManaman then he is presenting. It's one of the most underrated things about Gary Lineker - he's friendly with guests, but he's their equal in a footballing sense and so isn't on his knees trying to get their approval.

Humphrey's on his uncomfy chair tonight.

Is there medication for being a sad bitter **** these days?

 

[Shaggy]

Henry Winter is an arsehole!

It's official.

Another one who wipes his mouth with loo roll after he's finished talking

 

[dadnlad]

Fuckin state of sky sports news.
Had the rags takeover shite as headline news and now yellow ticker tape about the tramps not being interested in bellingham anymore.
Someone is feeling bitter about our win.

Wankers.

Surprised he didn’t mention Stones turn of pace to stop Sané.

 

[eyalluvitt]

“When you have 17 right backs in your squad, each costing well over 50M, is beating Bayern Munich even worth celebrating?”

 

[pauls]

According to miggy, net spend is now not a true reflection of wealth but wages are.
We pay less than his beloved dippers

He's a Manure fan

 

[burning blue soul]

Message going out to the British sports media.

 

[Ric]

We often criticise BT Sport’s coverage of City in Europe, but just watching the game back and tbf the commentator (Darren Fletcher) seems to be genuinely enthusiastically celebrating our goals. Shouldn’t really be noteworthy, but this is where we are.

I actually think BT commentary isn't too bad for City, including tonight (barring the 'Manchester United defender Manuel Akanji' comment).

 

[ROCKET80]

David Hytner did our match report in the Guardian.

None of the pearl clutching histrionics from the likes of Jackson and Delaney, he always reports on our games in a fair unbiased way. That's all we ask for.
