The Media and Tottenham

[demotw]

Funny I thought about this today when reading the BBC site, talking about how Villa's strikers need time to gel, natural they would struggle - then was thinking hang on a minute, we have changed 90% of our team, our key creators not quite back yet, but the headlines for us was no shots on target, despite the fact I think we ended with at least the same if not more total shots the forest and that's away from home.

Even commentators; when Marmoush nearly scored the commentator said he nearly ended his long wait for a goal… he’d played one and a third matches for us lol

Not related to us, but so many of the media were criticising Gordon to Barcelona, saying they wasted £80m and Rashford is better. Now Gordon is tearing it up and Barca love him, whilst Rashford is dog brick (or “exciting” as the media call him), they haven’t mentioned this at all. Why do they love Rashford so much? It’s crazy

I did wonder why they put “but won’t end VAR row” on the end. Not needed… as in this instance the video shows the VAR was 100% fudging correct lol

It won't end the var row because the media keep stirring it.

I stopped listening to commentators and "experts/pundits" a few seasons ago, their lack of balanced comments on games/teams/players was getting so bad, not just our games but in general.
It can be frustrating at times as there are so many players who I can't identify in the game, it's probably my age, as a kid I'd have a quick look at the match programme and know who was playing, that was in the time before the Chinese menu of squads and the goal was scored by number 8 with a pass from 27 and 2 portions of 43.

A lot of truth to this but then you see a very gentle BBC headline saying “Emery knows Villa’s strikers need time” and you wonder if Spurs attackers are being given the same media coverage ….

But overall you are right, the spurs echo chamber promotes paranoia that is baked into every club’s ,s fanbase.

I think that BBC headline came from a quote, so just repeating whats been said. I have seen Emery and Villa slaughtered in other press, especially after their start.
