The Media Against Pep?

Chippy_boy said:
So what? If we start selectively banning journalists from press conferences, a banned journalist stays banned irrespective of what the other cronies want to do. We wouldn't need to be vindictive about it, just a change of tone on our part: Access to our press conferences is a privilege and not a right, and that privilege is granted to those - and ONLY to those - who report fairly and honestly. Any muck slinging and you're no longer invited.

I don't see the problem with this at all, and as I say, it could hardly be worse than the status quo, could it.

If you have the neighbours round for a few drinks and one of them constantly tries it on with your Mrs, throws up on your carpet and slags you off to the other neighbours afterwards, you don't invite them again do you. Yet we seem to just carry on as if nothing's happened: come on in, help yourselves lads.

But it wouldn't help. In your example your shitty neighbour is excluded but your other neighbours carry on as before, that would not happen with the media, Having listened to Radio 5 live and Talksport yesterday they did a complete hatchet job on Pep and our club, non-stop, assuming for a moment you could exclude these organisations from our club (which you can't) do you honestly think that would help?

But you seem think it's not media organisations that are at fault, it'sjust a few bad apples, I can't agree with you there.

Your drinks analogy seems to pin the blame on individuals and while I agree some f***ers are worse than others they all dance to the tune of their paymasters, excluding individuals is a waste of time, they're just the messenger, the script is written elsewhere. and if you did exclude these individuals, the media organisations they represent would ratchet up the vitriol to 11.

Here's my press report for Pep and his team.

Pride in Battle as Pep attacks all in his way

" Less than 48 hours after a close and physically demanding encounter at Anfield Guardiola wisely managed Silva and the returning Aguero by starting them on the bench against Burnley.
Their successful second half substitutions clearly vindicated his planning for the game the winning outcome of which was all the more impressive playing with 10 men for an hour. Guardiola together with other established PL managers is,with justification, bemused with the inconsistent and error strewn PL officiating. Having seen the unpunished Rojo tackle against Crystal Palace Guardiola and other fair minded followers of the game can only question seeing Fernandinho given a red card when the vast majority of such tackles are given yellow at most. Guardiola's self accepted learning curve was added to when, not for the first time this season, no foul was awarded on his goalkeeper. With some justification Guardiola raises an issue of different refereeing interpretations in the PL compared to his experience in other European leagues and the CL. Journalists may wish to pursue this.
All of the post match coverage of journalists questioning responses by the manager served to deflect from a courageous victory for Manchester City. Against the odds the team were resolute and disciplined as they strived to ovecome a Burnley side buoyed by a 4-1 victory in their previous game. Burnley are a well-organised, physical side who work hard and make good use of the talent in their ranks. It is rare that a 10 man team play for such a length of time and have their bravery and commitment rewarded with victory. Perhaps the greatest bravery was shown by the manager who chose not to defend and hope but to retain the potency of counter attacking football with the likes of Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling and Aguero. This performance clearly goes into the category of "Pride in Battle" which Guardiola will surely have more than a hand in replicating as he continues his assimilation of football in the Premier League".

Love it. Can I copy and tweet or can you pm me if you've already done social?

These f***ers hunt in packs, a wound to one is a wound to all. Pep being sniffy to a BBC hack was denounced by Talksport and the Guardian as if it had been one of their own, because it was.

You are right and that is the definition of a conspiracy. Were they competitors the others could for example have made fun of BBC for coming under the wheels of Pep. But no. Surprisingly there is a common agenda across all media outlets for this. How anyone can deny the agenda is beyond me.

And then we'd ban some more of them. As I say, how could it be worse.
