just checking The Observer sports section this morning,
A total of nine of the 16 pages of the sports pull-out are devoted to football, with much of these nine pages focusing on the FA cup
with yesterdays match reports together with comment on todays 3rd round ties...Manchester City, the champions of england are not mentioned in any way shape or form whatsoever..very strange.
Got radio 5 on in the background, a similar approach with yesterdays talking points and todays ties discussed...over the last two hours again, no mention of the champions of england,not a single word.
OOPS, my mistake, Sir john Hall, the ex newcastle owner is being interviewed, and he has just said that he and his fellow owners could not compete with the foreign billionaire owners who have come in and taken over chelsea and manchester city,that they are ruining football.interesting point sir john, giiven that neither chelsea or City were under foreign billionaire ownership at the time he ran newcastle and enjoyed almost unfettered domination of the transfer league market, pumping millions into the geordies attempt to chase league titles and make an impression in europe-City and chelsea could not compete with Newcastle at a time they ruled the roost along with the rest of the elite in english football.
Sir john hall also failed to mention that Southampton in todays game have managed to make an impression amongst the big boys , rubbing shoulders with the foreign ownership that has supported Utd and liverpool in the modern game.
folk only see what they want to see.
