Reading through all the baloney, it suddenly struck me that the media are, once again, making their very finest journalistic efforts to find division and disharmony. I know they do it to all football clubs, and I do get a little piddled off where the fabrication of a small story into a big story is the aim. I'm not even sure it is in the public interest, if that still matters any more.
There are certain clubs that are better liked in the media and others that are always a target if things go wrong. That's why it was so important for you guys to start well, had you started like United had they'd have been writing you off as being lucky not to get relegated come the end of the season and equally why the win for us yesterday was important as the journalists and pundits were all queuing up to write us off. To think Liverpool being below us both is considered to be them badly underachieving yet there's no articles writing off their transfers as £100mill wasted, or saying that they should've just kept Suarez, as if it was that easy. That's what we got last year and what you'd have got too had you started badly. Certain clubs are fair game to them and certain clubs are to be protected. Often the best thing we can hope for from the media is to be ignored, any time they build you up they use it against you when it goes wrong.
Public interest journalism? Isn't that the justification editors use for raking through people's dustbins?
Think it's quite a factual piece (as far as quoting one person's opinion can be). It agrees with the 'facts' reported in the Telegraph article (which most regard as positive).
All most papers are interested in is probably just selling their stories. The juicier the better they have little or no respect for the average fan. Some have even been trying to stir the crap regarding the United manager of late. aided and abetted no doubt by the faithful of United who expect to be in the top four as their right!! Probably one of the reasons I have given up reading the crap some of them kick out of their respective papers.
And when it does, I think Morgan will go abroad and we'll only see him at SMS again in the CL! But when he does go, I for one will applaud him out of the stadium. Of course he cares about his career, but he is one of the players we should acknowledge as an all time great. Love the guy, and I'm looking forward to seeing him running round Wembley with a cup winners medal while Adam et al are watching on the telly. Did that sound bitter? Not meant to.
No Lambo I don't want them watching on the telly, I want them stood at the bottom of the wembley steps, looking up as captain fantastic hoists the cup above his head. The people at home can watch the TV camera pan quickly to the muppets in tears, staring, tearey eyes at their losers medals
