Maybe there is a conspiracy in the media?

[Watters]

Without really wanting to go over old ground on the Pickford/VVD incident, was very interested to see some comments in todays press about DCL's late equaliser last evening against the Mancs:

From Jamie Redknapp 'De Gea as a keeper has got to take everything. He's got to be brave and assess the situation. If he comes out with authority I have no doubt he wins this'

From Gary Neville a similar tone ''De Gea doesn't come out in line with the ball. You want him to come out and eat the striker'

So basically, If De Gea was to come and "eat" or come out with 'authority' and hurt DCL that would be OK as it is only Everton. Put the boot on the other foot as per Pickford/VVD and you have weeks and weeks of it in the press telling us all how dangerous it was that their hero was injured by Everton's nasty goalkeeper.

I am not really into conspiracy theories but when you see some of the recent stuff where the "big 6" appear to get preferential treatment and then you see something like this, especially from that useless d**k Redknapp who was one of the harshest critic's of the Pickford incident, then maybe there is some hidden agenda against the so called 'smaller' teams.

Thoughts?

By the way great take and finish by DCL, turning into a really great striker for the Blues and made his England team mate Harry Slabhead look rather poor

Expect nothing less from the media especially as its driven by Liverpool /Man utd pundits.

 

[Thomasc]

Think you are reading too much into it personally.

 

[Jim Hopper]

The whole Pickford thing was just a witch hunt because of the player he took out. Had it been another player nothing would have been made about it.

There's no doubt about it. The fact you had Gary Neville commentating on a United game tells you all you need to know.

There's been Everton games - at home - with a full panel of Man Utd and Liverpool ex-players, fans and/or daughters.

The media is infested with Kopites. Setanta Sports, now BT, an Irish channel in its' origins, was and is basically LFC TV.

People are a little bit dense if they don’t believe the media explicitly favour the top sides, let’s be honest.

Weeks and weeks? It's been months and months mate lol

I honestly don't know why people pay attention to pundits they don't like and then complain about it. Ignore them and be content when they're proven wrong. Up The Toffees!

Gary Neville is never biased in favour of United, he spends most of the time being negative towards them

He's passionate about them, doesn't matter if positive or negative - he sets the narrative and is in a position to do so.

For example, when he said "Everton" in a disgusted manner the other season, like United should be automatically on a pedastal above them and dropping points to them is a disgrace. That is setting the narrative.

 

[Carloblues]

To be fair, de gea 100% should have come out and collected the ball but he's a massive fanny.

Couldn't care less what the media say, we just keep going on about our business and make the media have to talk about us.

 

[JMT]

It's not even worth caring about lad, they don't care about us and never will.

 

[Daytripper]

I don’t watch them anymore , most of them are unlikeable imo that Clinton Morrison is a massive arse. Paul Merson is on Jupiter, Garth Crooks is up his own backside to say the least, Gary Neville is a patronising slug, Souness is highly pretentious and Robbie Savage is just a boring bell.

Nothing wrong with passion, there is a difference between that and commenting with your old club shirt on

There shouldn't be permanently employed pundits. Should be hired week to week depending on what game is on.

Souness has zero relevance whatsoever to modern football; he's allowed a voice solely because it's a mates club.
