I’m not sure what we’re seeing from the media at the moment, can’t tell if it’s just against the club as a whole or that they’re trying to force Pep out with their shit questions and headlines. Asking Pep if he is ‘Failure’ in the presser was so lame and rightly got the answer it deserved.

Oh, and Sky Sports were very specific in saying that Garcia was a product of La Masia as he joined us at 16 whereas they report Rag youth players who joined at 17 or 18 years old as being part of their Academy system. You know, having an Academy player in every team since Jesus was born.

Anybody would think this was an organised campaign to discredit everything we do.

I think it's a bit of both. In the main, I think they are silently fearing a rebuild and backlash. Trying to force Pep out is their way of stopping that. I don't think they understand how much it is going to piss him off when the scousers walk away with the league.
The commenta re Garcia and any one of our youngsters is just embarrassing and shows their colours. Wont be long before Doyle gets tagged with his grandads drinking.....

I've got to admit I find the opposite to be true. Most people see or hear a headline and believe that without checking facts or integrity of reporting. Which is why the media in this country gets away with spouting such large quantities of utter bullshit and pass it off as the truth.

Me too. Been spending a fair bit of time over in Dubkin these last 12 months and whilst in the main, the locals are very much pro both sets of red shite, a lot of the nonsense from the UK is repeated as fact

I'll be honest, I saw the stat that they'd broken the passing record and assumed it was the Prem one, not their own.

It was stated on BT that it was the PL record which was then adopted by a number of other media outlets until it was pointed out to them and they then, instead of apologising for the mistake, had a dig at the person who pointed it out.

Just shows the nature of the media. They are no longer in the market for truth and actual reporting, they are now their to spread innuendo and rumours in order to create hatred and bitterness so the sheeples will click their links.

It's working though isn't it? I'd love us to go after all this shite. It cannot do us any harm as we get bad press in the main anyway

Fantastic how fucking biased is the british media compared to the foreign one.

I am watchin Birmigham vs Rovers on Sport 3, the portuguese station that has coverage over all competitions in England. I am looking it more because of the superstition and and because I avoid watching it in Romanian because of the scouse love.

Anyway, before this early cup game they had a preshow and one of the invites was Rui Costa (he might have a colaboration at this station) and he was asked who does he think will win the FA Cup and he said City.

Asked why, he said that people tend to underrate a team that won 7 of the last 8 english trophies played in the last 2 years.

And this is real, we won 7 trophies out of 8. We crushed every team in this country.

Aston Villa 5-0 LiVARpool in league cup

Yes that’s true, for sport, politics and social issues reporting too.

I take it we will be reading about the Doyle story in the media tomorrow. And, what a story it is.

Only on here mate. We dont promote our academy products unless of course they have come from someone else's like Garcia......was that four academy products who finished that game, youhear a word on that

^^ won't hear a word.....

I’ll be back tomorrow with the link, surely there’s a real back story that the media will want to report.

I’m so confident.

Like.

MOTD instead of focusing on the match focused on Tom Pope and praised him for "proving his point". Am I missing something here?

Scored s great header in a 4-1 defeat. Something to tell the grandkids about. I should think he got more headlines than Ole and his boys

A nice story about how Vale got invited in to the dressing room afterwards and their manager thanking Pep for his hospitality is hidden in a story about Tom Pope on BBC..

Another player we will never hear about ever again after this week.
