Media thread 2022/23

[Gone for a Burton]

The only two points arising from the match are as follows;

1. The Sheffield United support was incredible.

2. The first player to score a hat trick in an FA Cup semi final played for Manchester United.

Incredible ?

Loads of empty seats in the open blocks.

First trip to Wembley for yonks.

Chip butty song.

Frankly I thought they were very ordinary inside and outside the stadium and on the pitch they were fucking awful !!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Glen Murray was saying Liverpool were clearly stronger than City as we’d let Sterling & Jesus go & Nunez will be better than Haaland.

Moral of the story, nothing he says is important.

Glenn Murray, you cannot be serious, ffs. Just another gary neville, total thicko.

Just cancelled my account with them. When I told them why they just shut it down and stopped the conversation. My account has been closed. Hope they get hundreds of blue doing the same.

Paddy Power have an internal 'Ministry of Mischief'. It's aim is to get as much free publicity as possible. They rip the piss out of United and Liverpool as well - they are not fussy, as long as they get the clicks & hits and they don't really care how they do it or who they upset. Back in the day when the Vatican was electing a new Pope there was a chance that a black Cardinal could be elected. They ran a campaign with: 'Your money back if the Pope is black!'. I kid you not. They will be giving it United tomorrow also - guaranteed. We shouldn't be losing sleep over Paddy Power. The BBC and other media news outlets - maybe. But not Paddy Power.

Not for me. Take the piss by all means. But that "break the rules 100 times" written as a statement crosses a line.

Ministry of Mischief? This is not banter, it’s not funny. It’s a well known Betting firm acting as judge and jury and slandering our club.

They wouldn’t issue a tweet with such dry venom against any team in red.

It’s awful.

Hit 'em in the pocket! If I had an account I'd shut it down too!

The media are fucking hurting big time and I’m a very happy City fan, fuck em

Each to their own mate. But we all pissed ourselves laughing when they hired Ryan Giggs’s brother to run a campaign about loyalty and said he was a City fan. Nobody takes Paddy Power seriously but people do take the BBC and other major news outlets seriously. It’s those we should be focusing on.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

And rightly so, if they beat us :)

But had they beaten the Dippers or the Rags it wouldn't have been so effusive.

Don't gamble anyway, never have so they'll never see penny one of my cash. However, they do come across as an almighty bunch of cunts

Posting a screenshot rather than an embedded link so I don’t contribute to their engagement on the tweet.

Normally they are pretty funny to be fair as @PPT posted earlier. But this is more akin to the nasty sort of shit Harris and/or Delooney chucks around.

Exactly. Attention seeking whores

Managed to 'synch,' the commentary on the official website with the ITV coverage on the box, seemed to work well (especially with a few beers!)
Tbh ,I can understand the' neutrals' wanting the underdog to win , but it will be interesting to see if the 'experts' are so pro Brighton tomorrow( if they are actually the 'und

Brighton are actually the 11/8 favourites tomorrow so the media will be supporting the underdogs!

I can't be arsed to go back through the thread, but did anyone else go FFS when twatterface praised all the Sheffield fans for making the effort to attend the game today...no mention of our fans though the prick

Absolutely it would, but you also have to realise we are top of the tree. It would have been a bigger shock than those two red shirts getting beat.

They all rip you off.
