Media attitude towards Everton.

I want it announced today. Presser on Monday then a surprise video of Zlatan walking the planning permission into the council offices and saying "you may approve this now"

This is gold, Everton. I should be running your PR.

\exactly this, heads would be falling off everywhere lol

Apparently the RS fielded their youngest ever side the other night. Not like anyone mentioned it.

Played boss apparently according to the media outlets. They must have as the score was 5-0 but less was said about Villa.

That's weird, it's Villa in the next round. Surely the RS won judging by the reports.

There's no Italian community in Liverpool either. I mean, that guardian podcast said he used to go restaurants when he managed Chelsea.

I mean, I'm only from the frozen wastelands of the north so I don't know what a restaurant is but maybe we have something he'd be prepared to pretend is the same?

I'm clutching at straws. Call it all off.

so he only likes Italian food?

Again, I'm not saying there's a conspiracy - I'm saying it's cold hard fact that the media is dominated by ex-RS players and fans on screen and radio, and in key editorial positions.

Which Premier League club is best represented by pundits on TV?

The era of Hansen and Lawrenson is long gone, so which club now dominates the airwaves? Sportsmail looks at the key pundits from the major TV rights holders and assesses the loyalties.

They are objective in their views, they have a natural bias towards Liverpool. They don't sit down and plan it, but when you have the following dominating the discussion in the last decade...

Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson, Graham Souness, Dietmar Hamann, Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, Micky Quinn, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Kevin Keegan, Jan Molby, Phil Thompson, Emlyn Hughes, Jamie Redknapp, Alan Green, Colin Murray, Martin Tyler, Steve Wilson, Danny Murphy, David James, Ray Houghton, Stan Collymore, Jim Beglin, John Barnes, Neil Mellor etc. etc. etc.

... to name a few, then obviously you're going to see anti-Everton sentiment. You'd have to be blind and daft not to see it.

This is exactly the point. Of course there’s no conspiracy, where they sit around and decide on tactics to keep Everton in their box. But, let’s face it, all footy fans are partisan and have their natural biases. If any of us were in the national football media we’d show our anti-RS bias, via snide comments, and thinly disguised put downs - it would be very difficult to avoid.

It only becomes a problem when certain clubs are massively over represented in the media as the RS currently are. Then, a load of similarly biased opinion gets put forward as an objective narrative.

Mourinho called this out years ago and he was spot on.

Farhad sent somebody out to Chris's Chippy last night and he's bang into it.

Basically all this boils down to Carlo Ancelotti can't pick a player and doesn't realise it rains in the north of England.

Bizarre.

Oh and apparently he has no idea who is in our squad and has never watched any of them and just fancies upping and leaving to Liverpool on short notice for no reason other than the same money he could earn anywhere in Europe.

Problem is the media is overrun with Kopites & the few within media that are former EFC players come from the plucky era, so will always want the Club to be at that level to say that they were part of the EFC teams that ‘over-achieved’.

BBC even said that apart from getting beat against Villa which doesn't count because it wasn't their proper side, beating Monteray was their 6rh straight win!

Journalism at its finest!!

I think the more we complain about it, the more they will write/talk about it.

The only way to shut them up is to win, win and win again.

Ultimately that is the truth.

This really. Best answer would be to start actually doing our talking on the pitch for once.

I'd like to know which clubs have a coherent strategy.

It's like saying clubs should know their place and not dare to upset the media darlings.

Beat Arsenal, beat Burnley Beat Liverpool...shut them up quickly enough.
