ABU Pundits

It’s really hard to tell the difference between the ABU pundits and some of the cafe posters these days.
 
It’s a real issue for us though, makes it more uphill to get straight treatment in marginal decisions whether it’s player suspensions, injury time etc. Also makes it harder to build a new fan base. Ultimately football is becoming a bit of a consumer product and our potential future consumers keep getting a negative impression of us while hearing how wonderful City, Liverpool etc. are. I think there’s a marketing challenge in this for us that we shouldn’t ignore.
Absolutely but the good news is the Abu mediums are dying. Papers, commentary, post match shows like motd are all diminishing and it's become a tik token social media landscape. Having yound stars like Garnacho and Kobbie and the social media influences of people like Speed means the abus can't really hurt us.
 
It was funny watching Shearer processing Newcastle getting dumped out of all European comps whilst asking more bitter questions.
Shearer on Newcastle a few weeks ago

this season has been tough however has been mitigating circumstances which was injuries. Eddie Howe still has plenty of credit in the bank and whatever happens this season if qualify for Europe or not Howe should be Newcastle manager next season
 
That goal was correctly ruled out, the penalty Coventry got was debatable but rarely mentioned. Key's remains among the biggest idiots and should know his place as presenter than trying to play the punter.
He's also a Coventry fan so his opinions are no worse that most of the CAF's views when VAR goes against us
 
Check out the ESPN lot. Nicol and some Liverpool player. Their bile is non stop and now it is not even funny.
The non-ex Liverpool is the worst, Craig Burley is twice the cnut that Nicol is by a country mile
