The perfect fumble said:The game against QPR is now viewed as great drama, a fabulous end to the Premier League season with Aguero's goal played over and over again, that's the narrative the media has gone with, and why not? It ticks all the boxes. It's the narrative that informs most of the posts here on Bluemoon and again why not, it's glorious, it's fantastic and after all these years it's great.Dirty Harry said:The perfect fumble said:The "line" for that day is that Utd accepted the situation with "dignity". The fact that they did nothing of the sort is immaterial.
You've lost me bud ?
But, as with the "dignity" line with Utd it's not an accurate description of the totality of the day, it's the prism we choose to see it, fortunately for us that's the way the media sees it too.
United fans on the other hand see it as QPR giving up, once they knew they were safe, for once they are the minority view.
Look how wrong footed the media is now over Balotelli? Desperately scrambling for a new narrative that captures the moment which somehow doesn't show them up too much for all the crap they've spouted before.
It is often said that in life perception trumps reality ever time, that is unless you get hit by a truck, then reality is very real indeed. Aguero's late winner and to a lesser degree Balotelli's two goals against Germany are the sporting equivalent of being hit by a truck, an event which violently throws perception out of sync with a very real reality, quick! Time for a radical change of perception.
For much of last season the media's perception of City was, "bought the league, bottled it, trouble in the camp, mercenaries"...waffle dither and fudge...Up to the Dzeko goal it was "typical City" After the Dzeko goal "game on" then comes Aguero!!! and it's "Worthy Champions, played the best football all season" etc, etc, hit the air waves, kick start the word processor! Bingo! New reality.

Lol I get you now TPF, in all honesty (and I really appreciate the time and effort you've put in to explain it mate) I really wasn't looking at it that deeply, I just thought "what a load of bollocks" when I heard him say it lol
Cheers bud.

Why Tyler would be gutted about us winning the league is a strange one. That moment there gave him that money shot moment of commentary which won't ever die.
I wouldn't bother if i was you QR,he's probaly not even listened to it,just a WUM.quiet_riot said:Pigeonho said:It's Tyler who says stupendous, clear as day!

Not everything is agenda-driven. I think it's Niall because it sounds more like him, not because I think Tyler is up Fergie's arse or anything.
How is what I said a winding up attempt? Tell me how anything I said is incorrect, and why.bluemanc said:I wouldn't bother if i was you QR,he's probaly not even listened to it,just a WUM.quiet_riot said:Pigeonho said:It's Tyler who says stupendous, clear as day!
