Simon Jordan: "Manchester United losing attracts more media clicks than Manchester City winning"

Cue the quote being shared by the rags on Twitter ad nauseum without any rational debate as to the reasons.

However, the really amusing aspect is that when it actually happens (such as last weekend) the rags get all paranoid

You would think that people would be useď to the rags losing by now....

That's the problem/benefit of having the media blow smoke up their arses constantly

After years and years of cheating and bullying their way to wins, non-rags are taking great delight in their fall from grace.

What was the context? What point was he trying to make?

I suppose the exact same as Goldbridge probably gets more views when they lose as they're that hated by everyone else. I'd imagine AFTV got more views at the end of the last two seasons when they lost the league as fans of other clubs like to see them rant. The context is that people enjoy watching other people losing their shit.

TBF there's 70 year old kids that think the same.

Of course, but there are a hell of a lot of people between those two age groups.
