Match reaction - Man City

[Niall_Quinn]

So how many people are going to diligently go through every single source of media and then lay it all on a giant figurative crucible to burn out a pure truth?.

Frankly all the evidence I’ve seen is as far removed from that as possible. People on both the left and the right become crumbling emotional wrecks if their world view is in anyway challenged. And this heralds the use of the term “fake news” not pointed towards genuine fakery but just desperately at anything that makes us feel uncomfortable.

I’m totally anti censorship, I think the only imposition upon free speech should be incitement. But you’ll forgive me if I’m not seeing the same glorious age emerging resulting from challenging what is wrong as you are.

Millions of people will do it. Some badly, others well. Already happening. Look at Wikipedia as an example. Doesn't it amaze you how much effort so many private and unpaid individuals put into that? Some people are like that. Hobbies, interests, a desire to inform, whatever the reason. When you have billions of people only a small percentage is required to build an army. Compare with the tiny number of gatekeepers trying to do it all. People power is exponentially more powerful and effective than establishment power. Right now, if Wikipedia went off message it could be seized or shut down. Those options are now being removed. The dinosaur Twitter is sitting in front of other dinosaurs, to try to figure out dinosaur methods to retain dinosaur supremacy - some 30 years after it all being too late for them.

You've often sneered if I've used Wiki as a source in a debate
To me the proliferation of "news" sources and social media have made it harder than ever to know for sure what is true.

f*ck me is this what it's turned to? The Arsenal debates are so dead we've resorted to debating about technology

Letters, that's not what we were talking about.

Don't worry. This happens a lot. Breaks up the monotony of talking about same old Arsenal.

Can we talk about the Queen next? I'm chomping to get a few things off my chest after her tax dodging shenanigans.

Say what you like about Wenger but if you start disrespecting the Queen I'm banning the shit out of you


Gawd bless 'er.

Meh better than Prince Andrew using royal privilege to avoid prosecution for arms dealing

Here's a question

If you knew Wenger would 100% be gone if we lost to Spurs, would you want us to lose?

You know my answer

It would just be one more defeat in a long line of them, they're a better team anyway.

And football in general tbh. Fed up with the preening, cheating multi-millionaires who pass for players (and, ironically, mostly can't pass for toffees), the obscene amounts of money in the game and the media jizz-fest over every game.

Forget football in general, that's steering away from the point somewhat, for me what I'm interested in is Arsenal and I agree with that statement as well. We don't dislike football because of other teams we dislike it now because our club has sunk very low, if we had a team like we did 15 years ago you can bet your bottom dollar noone would be that bothered about football in general.

Ask Man City fans if they hate football.
