What is the media’s agenda?

[sageyefc]

Wouldn't have thought Hinchcliffe had played for us the bubbles he chats on commentary.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Most of the media are itching to raise their scarves in the air and start warbling that goddamn dirge.

 

[Berenger]

Got an insight into what it must be like to be one of these armchair reds tonight.

A club legend as ‘our’ pundit and a boyhood bluenose and scouser as ‘their’ pundit.

An ex-player on co-commentary (though he didn’t turn it up to 11).

Wall-to-wall coverage post-match of your team with complete disregard for the opposition for 30 minutes.

And a lot of exaggeration about how well the team played over the 90 “because they won it after 20”.

Burnley forums will be fuming.

Was proper Ratcliffe tonight

Watch it in russian, stops the fume, aceplayer is your friend.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Because the British media want us to fail so we can't be a threat to darling Liverpool, I guess.

He very rarely has anything positive to say about us and when he does he quickly counters it with something negative.

Literally every teams fans thinks the media is against them, we are no different to anyone else. We literally had an all Everton pundit team on Sky(!) tonight and some of you are still moaning. Let’s face it people love the “everybody is against us” angle.

 

[tonyhorne]

The BBC are so concerned that Liverpool may not win the league after all that they have panicked. All the research they were undoubtedly doing to celebrate the title has now been used to produce an "other near misses" article about recent sides that have failed as well.

Personally, I couldn't care less who wins if it can't be us. Its the journos justifying their narrative if Liverpool even get close to winning anything that grates...

Nah. As soon as the match was over, they would've gone straight back to battering/porking their daughter-wives.

Pretty much this actually

My red friends havent stopped moaning about BT ( yes BT !!! ) not giving them enough credit for how well they played against Barca.
Not a mention they lost 3-0 tho.

I’m sorry but the RS and BT are the exception that proves the rule here. They cannot possibly moan at a broadcaster who will put about 7 RS pundits in the studio and pitchside for a game like Brighton vs Burnley.

I’m an Aussie and the commentators on Optus Sport are so anti-Everton. 2-0 up and it’s a “surprise that Everton are playing well” rather than being seen as “Everton living up to their standards.” The sheer arrogance and ignorance from the media is what pisses clubs with ambitions of breaking the top 6 off.

How are we meant to gain new fans or a wider reach if everything we do is deemed as “lucky” or the other team’s shortcomings rather than Everton’s quality?

Welcome to the world of Everton fc. How many tines did they mention lieverpool being amazing during the game?

 

[arbok]

Well I'd say its rather obvious. When one of the usual top 4(6) teams play, their fan bases have millions of fans all round the world, and they generate way more revenue if you're a Liverpool fan, vs being an Everton one. They're brainwashing everyone to be a fan of a top 6 club. It's a business.

Impartiality/fairness/equality is reserved for lunch time school yard games or under 10s.

 

[arbok]

If Everton continually make it into the champions league like Tottenham you might see less bias in the media, but until then, it'll always be plucky Everton, a mid tier club.
