Steaua Bucharest post-match thread

Had to listen to the match on Talk Shite so this morning tried to get another picture from the media. No mention at all on the the BBC - just Silly Sally and another daft bird gushing for ages about the Olympics including a 'wow' because two cyclists had the same birthday and an 'awww' when some silly bugger fell over at the first hurdle.ITV was even worse- like a mum's coffee morning discussing events they had never heard of. Interesting to hear how good it is that the dreaded money injection put into the sports has caused success. It seems that only City's money is bad.

Over to the print media and although they praise City (they had to) nearly all have to mention returned tickets. I have never seen so many reports contain mention of fans not going to an away match 2000 miles away with no direct flights. I don't know if it is good or bad for UK clubs to get 'only ' 500 fans for a qualifying round so far away - it never gets reported for anybody else - but I do recall many excuses for others clubs not playing well because after long journeys and we might see it again with Thursday night football soon.

It seems that the media cunuts have to get negatives out of any situation and as usual it is at the expense of us. In more ways than one, there is no doubt that:-

THERE IS ONLY ONE CITY

We didn't get any mention on the press bit, they decided to concentrate on the negative stuff like the Hart situation. If the Rags had turned it on in Europe like that they would be waxing superlatives left right and centre. Maybe we need to put in a perfomance against the future FIFA world club champions Afc Bournemouth before we are taken seriously.

I don't really quite understand the rivalry between your two clubs, tbh. I mean I get that in one city there will be a divide over two clubs, even if one has a longer history of success. But perhaps it's just the type of banter I don't really understand - it's not like with Barcelona vs RM.

There's bitterness, clearly - I think many have overhyped Mou and just as many selling Pep short because he 'inherited great teams'. Like Sacchi said last night, when you watch City last night it was immediate who the coach was - it's as simple as that. And even for a longtime culer like myself, I love the Pep effect and have missed that style of play.

It'll be very interesting to see what Pep builds at City

Im sure if you really try my friend you can begin to understand..

the truth is out there.!!
 
Simply outstanding, and that after one serious match and a terrible pre season ( nothing to do with Pep).

We have a future that is going to become legendary for evermore.
 
i don't care about the media we know it is bias as fuck, just give us three points against stoke and make my week.
 
yeah whatever !! said:

His first task, his homework, if yer like, is to dig down about Blackburn and Burnley, then The Blades and The Owls, Haringay and Islington, even the two Bristol clubs, City and Rovers, and then finally he will understand Manchester and Stretford. Funny, though, has he blinkers on when Atletico play Real?

The problem is the caf is made up of very few match going fans so they feel they have to validate their support by trying to outdo each other with their shite. We spent a couple of decades as a yo-yo club winning nothing whilst watching them Hoover up trophy after trophy and what you have now is a sense of entitlement unmatched. They've become obsessed by attendances, I mean really obsessed. It's pretty fucking weird actually how so many grown men (and woman) can put so much energy into something which when looked into, isn't even true.
The out of towners will always go overboard, it makes them feel like they are fitting in.

If the first few weeks of Pep being here is anything to go by sadcafe will be a fun place to visit over the next couple of months. What he has the potential to do here is mouthwatering.
