It’s a very powerful tool if you don’t cotton on. Even someone as experienced as me has to check themselves occasionally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given that... Joao cried off on the eve of the match He'd trained all week I'd say that is pretty damn accurate YES Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portuguese International, Joao, who had to drop out of the plans because of an injury... or Devastated Joao, 24, who had hoped to replace the injured Adhte Nuhiu had to drop out of the squad... or Joao, who left it as long as possible before breaking the bad news... or Joao, was given no choice but to drop out of the squad.

Most people don’t realise why they’re being told stuff. It’s a very powerful tool if you don’t cotton on. Even someone as experienced as me has to check themselves occasionally Thing is people haven't come to their own realisation that all of a sudden the entire media system is against Sheffield Wednesday Someone started that, it's flowed through countless posts, tweets and chats down the pub and now it appears to be total fact This one however is just incredible. Joao trains all week with the squad, then apparently gets a groin injury and so goes to Jos and says he can't play the next day. He's not named in the squad for the match and people go ballistic over it The star then run with "Joao cried off on the eve of the match having trained all week" and people start going ballistic over that too It's totally mental and like I say it's not that everyone's made their own minds up having read the Star or listened to Rob Staton and Andy Giddings - they've just been fed a line and it's stuck in their heads so they twist everything that comes out of the media into something it's not in order to impress everyone else Utterly utterly mentalist Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I don't think there is much bias, but that was a poorly thought out sentence from somewhat one is paid money to write articles. Might as well give the kids at a local school money to write the articles Edited August 15, 2018 by marcx666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly If they're gonna do anything it's wind up the crybabies who constantly roar their eyes out about how all the media is out to get us (whilst we're under embargo, can't renew our own players contracts, have taken 1 point out of the first two games, have major players out injured, have sidelined our former number one goalkeeper, are losing money on a weekly basis etc etc etc etc) WHY CAN'T THE PRESS JUST WRITE LOADS OF POSITIVE HAPPY STUFF ABOUT US?? I thought we'd have all moved past the media blaming from last season. Seems like we're doomed to be the crybabies that we once called Sheffield United fans for doing the exact same thing Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
