So all journo's are united fans then?strongbowholic said:If you were a journo, would you write anything positive about your hated rivals?
Yep. Fully agree.NipHolmes said:SWP's back said:I can see why they do it yes, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.NipHolmes said:If your shop sells 20 products but ones a best seller which one do you think they will peddle the most?
It's common sense they play up to the rags because that's their market. Same as the press.
What is more annoying is some people pretending it doesn't go on. Much like the Rooney & RVP elbow Vs the Ade & Balo "stamp" etc.
Again the best seller analogy can be used.
If you're selling an item do you
a) concentrate on the positives
b) talk about the negatives
United can do no wrong. If they spend it's because they can due to their massive revenue streams. If they lose a match, it's no problem because their winning mentality will help them prevail. If they win it's because they're great. If they are given a dodgy penalty it's part if the game and it evens itself out. If they are not given a penalty then try referees too slow or had an off day (couldn't handle the pressure, let the fans make his decision for him etc). If they sign a player it's because he's part of a masterplan and will become great, if they miss on a player it's because of money.
Cut a long story short, spin is their main attribute. Everything is sugarcoated red. David Moyes rapid rise in stock is the epitome of it. Laudrup and Martinez both have won more than him and both were equally as hamstrung financially. Moyes was a steady eddie and seen as a good manager but not great. Ask any United, Chelsea and Arsenal fan who were all linked to him and they would reel off a dozen names and then say Moyes isn't good enough. All of a sudden he's now a terrific manager and United have struck gold appointing him. Spin. Spin. Spin.
Hysterical the levels of propaganda. Makes North Korea look like Wikileaks ffs.
Where did I say they ALL were?Pigeonho said:So all journo's are united fans then?strongbowholic said:If you were a journo, would you write anything positive about your hated rivals?

Don't forget the 5 trophys in 5 years is that all,love this bloke already.ashtonblue said:Just seen a snippet of James Cooper's questions to Pellers - excellent answers and excellent English.
Had to laugh when JC said you have made 2 signings and before he could finish his sentence he said 'for now'
When quizzing about strikers JC mentioned Jovetic and Negredo - but again Pellers shushed him saying 'no names - just rumours'. He confirmed we are deffo getting a new striker tho.
Exciting times boys and girls!
A lot of people don't like City and it ain't restricted to the rags either. That's a damn fact.Pigeonho said:So all journo's are united fans then?strongbowholic said:If you were a journo, would you write anything positive about your hated rivals?
Not at all, the majority of reds see it as well.Pigeonho said:So people who can't see it aren't proper blues then, is what you're implying?de niro said:SWP's back said:I can see why they do it yes, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.
