Put it this way: Would Rob Staton, Giddings or the other bloke pose questions (in the manner and tone) to Chris Wilder (who is everyone's fav atm) like they have done previously to Carlos and now Jos? I highly doubt it. You're right, they wouldn't in the slightest. I found his tone and line of questioning yesterday really awkward. Almost like Rob was Jos' superior. It was really weird He wouldn't dare speak to Wilder like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Our fans are turning into everything they used to take the mick out of United fans for "The local media is all against us" "They're biased" "They are giving us such a hard time" Jesus christ give it a rest - we're having a shocking season, things haven't been adding up, journalists have asked the questions the fans have been asking Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really weird He wouldn't dare speak to Wilder like that I though he asked questions that needed to be answered, Jos's initial responses were a little vague and he continued to press the issue. Not got a problem with that, would rather the journalists seeks answers and not just rub the belly of whoever is put in front of them. If Utd had been tipped for a promotion challenge but had ended up in danger of being dragged into a relegation fight with an unfit squad that has played negative football throughout the season then I would expect that Wilder would also get asked some difficult questions. This article from Howson is different. The attendance was a topic of debate in the build up to the Swansea match and in the immediate aftermath but no need for an article a week later, we have moved on and have played a game since then.

Seeing as most of the people contributing to the thread share the same opinion perhaps its not as daft as you think and the journalism is as dogger and as negative as everyones saying... Just a thought Also, how many fans asked why so many season ticket holders failed to turn up (in Doms opinion) for an FA Cup tie where both teams made shed loads of changes?

@owlstalk Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Truth is that these days ANY article that's put up about Wednesday whether it be from Staton, Howson, Newsome, Biggs, Star, Nationals etc are immediately dismissed and the journalist personally attacked Sad times that I thought we were better than that as fans Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I listened to it wrong. I felt the tone was - 'Well I'm Rob Staton and I think you should have gone to Millwall with these tactics and I want you to give me an explanation as to why you didn't and if I dont like your answer and i'm going to continue to get narky with you' Utd have just come off a run of 2 wins in 14 and not once was Wilder questioned. Carlos was asked if he would consider resigning after a run of 1 win in 7. I dont see that as fair personally bit thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
