Media Bias and its effect if any on Overall Outcome.

[Tigger]

The minute you look a serious threat to Liverpool or United he and all of the other presenters & 'pundits'
will be told in no uncertain fashion to stick to the script. Failure to do so will result in their contracts not
being renewed.

Without doubt, the way Tyler and Carragher single out Richarlison over simulation is no way a reactive thing, it's on their script from minute one, media did the same to Andy Johnson over winning penalties and he hardly won any again.
Not saying he does not simulate btw but no more than many other players that never get a mention.

That's exactly how it is. We get the same with 'tactical fouling'. That phrase was invented by Gary Neville and it is now used widely in the media. When Liverpool or United do it (and all teams do it) it's a 'clever foul' or 'taking one for the team'. It's the same with transfer fees. The commenators repeatedly state how much every City player was bought for: £50m, £60m etc etc - it's non stop. Never a mention of the world's highest transfer fees paid for the Liverpool players or the obscene amount of money wasted on Pogba or Maguire. It's the media narrative which is led by SKY TV. The rest just follow like sheep.

Notice Sky are pumping out the PL statement regarding cancelling the City match, including the bit about it being cancelled after consultation with both clubs, despite Everton statement making it pretty clear any consultation with us was late and light on detail.

 

[H.H.]

We played five and a half minutes against Sheffield United when there wasn’t a single injury. Absolutely ridiculous.

Evertons time wasting for which players got booked was part of the reason.

Thanks mate

Who in the media speaks well about us that has never played for us, anyone?

Jamie Redknapp tends to talk well about us

 

[Jeff Jones]

Saint John

Hansen

Lawrenson

Beglin

Phil Thompson

Fowler

Mcmanaman

Redknapp

Murphy

McAllister

Souness

Barnes

Aldridge

Owen

Ruddock

David James

Carragher

Hamann

Have I missed anyone?

Whilst some of them no doubt have something of interest to bring to the table (Hansen back in the day focusing on the defensive side of the game, Carragher’s delivery although he’s not everyone’s cup of tea...), it’s a pretty impressive list of gobshites.

Stephen Warnock

Roy Keane described us as being 'a proper football club'.

Stephen Warnock

Neil Mellor. Smarmy to say the least and an absolute no mark footballer. Equivalent would be having Nick Chadwick, which might even be harsh on Nick.

 

[Lawrence]

The worst is when they wheel out Bitter Barnes, how it detest that man.

 

[MrGrumpy]

4th news story is ‘Liverpool injury crisis’

how many starting 11 were they missing against the Baggies?

just vvd?

According to sky they had 19 injuries this season.. not sure that true

 

[maccavennie]

According to sky they had 19 injuries this season.. not sure that true

They class VVD as the equivalent of 16 players probably mate.

Gang of meffs

 

[MrGrumpy]

Was watching sky just not and the presenter said is it a big 7 with Leicester now? Made me laugh
Danny Mills actually said no, he said what is a big 6 now, Arsenal aren’t big 6 now and you look at the likes of what Everton are doing, it’s more like a big 10

 

[evertony]

Boiling their pish is great....lets carry on doing it. Who wants to be considered as part of Sky's / the Medias 'Big 4/5/6/7' anyway? Feck the lot of them.

Roy Keane described us as being 'a proper football club'.

Mourinho when he was an analyst with Sky before the spurs gig. He almost did it to wind up Souness in studio with him too. You could see him smirking.
