The Agenda (Merged)

[Newman Noggs]

Re: so this agenda thing.

Or you hoped that I wouldn't have asked you again and you could have conveniently sidestepped the issue by discussing the merits of the goals from Di Maria and Jagielka. Which was not what was asked. I'm amazed that you wrote an opinion on what was the best of those two, but didn't engage when specifically asked, in what I (and most other people) would find glaring omissions.

I'd suggest that list of 20 best goals of the season was put together by someone at SKY. JC & GN were merely commenting on what was presented to them. What I don't understand is how such a collection of goals could not include Silva's or Aguero's.

What possible reason do you think there could be for this glaring oversight?

No I am happy to discuss anything. Firstly I did not see the list of 20 I had just flicked on when discussing the merits of the two contenders. Personally I would have expected Silva's and Aguero's at Sunderland comfortably within this list. I am surprised they were not. I would be interested to know who the twenty were now.

Reasons for the glaring oversight? I can only think personal preference or like you say a shocking oversight. Not quite sure what Sky would gain by not including them? Why do you think they are not included?

I could add the Aguero goal v QPR, which would make it THREE glaring oversights. Interesting that these three omissions were all scored by City players. The strange thing is, SKY are usually shit hot on these sort of montages.

It must be a succession of unfortunate co-incidences. That's probably the most logical explanation.

Must be. I went to bed after they showed the 20 goals and after their "team of the season so far" which, by the same coincidence, didn't include Zabaleta at right back. Aguero snuck in up front but then, we are a one man team as the narrative goes.

Re: so this agenda thing.

Sky Sports News "Goal of the Season so far", United goal, check, Chelsea goal, check, Arsenal goal, check, City goal....er...no.

I can't imagine anyone tuning-in to Sky's output expecting fair, balanced and inclusive coverage.

What amazes me is that we still have City fans paying for the "privilege" of watching this shite.

Some City fans aren't as paranoid and also enjoy the other sports sky offers

Re: so this agenda thing.

First I do believe their is an agenda by the media but that agenda is to run a positive angle on anything that is favourable towards the old top four.

Anyone that listened to the $ky commentary last night, Liverpool v Southampton must surely agree. At nil-nil Liverpool were 'resurgent', 'their recent run shows Liverpool back to their best'.
Every time a Southampton attack broke down it was because of excellent defending by the dippers, when it was the other way around it was bad luck, so nearly, etc etc.

I don't know whether a Southampton fans forum has an agenda thread but if they do it will have exploded last night.


So it is not just us.

DT Review of 2014 Part 1 - we get half an inch inside a page spread on Stevie Starfish. It sez that Pellers, first South American to win the title, etc, must be manager of the year!! And it goes to Pulis, now jobless. I await Part Deux, but not with bated breath.
