Suppository Takes A Strange Turn

[Ted Hughes]

Slim, you've got RH's quote with my name attached to it.

I feel like the Italian tenor in 'Naked Gun' when he's watching Leslie Nielsen singing the national anthem on tv with his name on the caption..

There is some top class paranoia in this thread.

There is also a lot of truth

You are probably right.I do not watch it but find it a bit ironic the people who slag this program off but yet still watch it call people who watch the X factor for example yet continue to watch what in their opinion is tripe.If they watch this tripe surely its a bit hypo to call people who watch X factor.

This is so insightful, I feel like one of the Beatles when they met Mahreshi Yogi. Truly life changing stuff.

I'm just trying to figure out if English is his first language.[/quote]
You said replying to me was to much effort.Was that a bit of sarcasm?
Just think if you answer you have bitten and if you do not then between me and you i will have the last word again.

All fixed, someone double ended a quote, looks like effort went into fucking the quote up.

Phew.

Edit: Oh no he's quoted it again, I am condemned forever as an idiot.

You'd have to quote him, I decided to leave him on ignore.

Or you could not quote him, I am satified with not seeing it and you looking like an idiot. :p

Hi guys, I get what you're saying but here's the thing. Not everyone loves the club as much as we do. Some even don't like us. Some of these are journalists. However, we've gone from never getting a mention to being a mainstay of the show. So they didn't suck our dicks because we won the derby. They spoke about Tevez instead. As I said earlier in the thread, Newcastle barely get a mention.

If the rags get a similar result against anyone, watch what happens on that show the following week.

This is true, and is quite clearly poor professionalism. I wouldn't say that any broadcaster is compelled to give every club equal airtime, as West Brom v Swansea is never going to be as interesting to a neutral as a match involving clashes between the top six (or the bigger six), but it's important to give credit where it's due.

The problem with a lot of media coverage, such as MotD, is how they market the product. Match of the Day is aimed squarely at casual, not-very-bothered post-pub viewers,and that's something they have admitted themselves. Therefore, there are many millions in this country spouting the most uninformed, banal crap imaginable, because it6 gets repeated so often by Hansen, Lawreson, Shearer, and the increasingly awful Lee Dixon.

In the printed press, it would be refreshing to see more Martin Samuel types, individuals with an individual point, rather than the sheep-like drivel trotted out everywhere from The Star to The Guardian every single day. And I don't just mean I want to see City mentioned in a more flattering light, as you say Newcastle have made a fabulous start to the season - and barely a mention.

Martin Samuel and Henry Winter are absolute class journalists - speak good common sense.

Also Daniel Taylor from the Guardian is a good journo, unfortunately he doesn't appear on Sunday Supplement.

That is well put. The BBC are stuck in a kind of middle england time warp. Find the least upsetting formulea and state it with absolute authority, the plebs wont notice and suck all in. Time honored BBC.
Sky do a similar thing but are happy to be opinionated, as long as that opinion backs the business status quo. They just employ thick cunts because they are thick cunts so it fits with the dumbing down, lazy, cliche ridden vomit they like to overstate and hype to make it look good.. in 3D now too! you know.

Bottom line is they are not interested in any breadth of opinion or discourse, they just look to feed an easily consumed drug with as much WOW as they can get in there. It isn't What they say it is all about the Way they say it.

One of the first things they teach you in anything to do with media or culture is to look and take into account what is NOT said. By comparing what is and isn't said you get a view of any agenda.
In relation to that lot not mentioning the derby... there lies their agenda for all to see. Protect the myth of 'manchester utd'

Each time Wooney touches the ball the commentators voice goes up in pitch.. laden with expectation. The words they choose, the adjectives or superlatives or lack of.. all this shit when added up shows you where they are coming from and how subtle they are at pushing their agendas with presentation techniques alone.

What I have noticed is how knee jerk the pundits are. Two losses and now Chelsea are struggling for fourth. I still think they can win the league.

[Rag_hater]

I find it funny that people who give the impression of being know it alls watch a program they know will have people on it that say things that will upset their dispositions.Don't watch it if it winds you up so much.
Maybe my fun is a bit mis-placed because the know it alls are watching it so they will have something to moan about.

Great post - and I think from Sky's point of view, it all comes down to the product that they are selling; advertising. They will never say anything that offends their chief customers (advertisers) for fear of losing revenue. Many of their biggest advertisers are also heavily invested in the global brand of established teams like the rags, scouse, chelsea and arse. Usually these deals have around a 5 year period, so there is significant motivation to maintain the image of the already entrenched brands. Hence why City are causing such a ruckus

Also - knee-jerk reactions, soundbites, and talking points are all self-perpetuating. The more that the same simple ideas are repeated, the narrower the range of acceptable ideas is set. When the same point of view is all that most people hear, outside points of view (that fail to fit the established narrative) take a longer time to explain. They can be cast aside as crazy or the voice of the extreme. If someone were to say on TV that the rags are over hyped, under experienced, and lacking in quality most people would call that person a mad man. It would take that person time to explain themselves past all of the current assumptions and established narrative just for people to take them somewhat seriously. Not directly related to football, but a lot of this is explained much better in Noam Chomsky's book Manufacturing Consent

There is some top class paranoia in this thread.

Surprise, surprise, from the person who has made talking out of their arse an artform

Tonight Matthew I'm going to be.....

I watch it maybe three or four times a season, usually when I want to see all the goals in one go and won't get another chance.

Who do you think is a "know it all"?

[Rag_hater]

You live in a world of
make-believe where your
egocentric duplicity is the norm
and the half-truths you spew
to the winds fall on waiting ears
which nod in accordance of all you say
the faulty memories you reminisce
are but a painting rendered by
your own desires and guilty conscience
for what resides beneath
those vanilla skies
lash out if you must
to feed your hunger for power
and the need for a semblance of control
but your bitter accusations
can find no stable ground
when the foundation is forged
of fog and selfishness

So Eric Cantona doesn't fancy the sunday supplement either I see?

They don't show any goals!
