a better example of the saying " clutching at straws " ive yet to see .. what a complete dick that castles guy is

I find It odd that he mentions Carrick as he's hardly played at all.
Saying fellaini is a big miss is really funny.

It’s an unimportant distinction. Whether the bias is intentional, unintentional or institutionalised, the net result as far as City is concerned is the same.

This thread is about the media. Therefore in that context i believe it is an important distinction because if its subconscious and the Network just gives more work to pundits that get the best ratings. its just the way of the world , its just about money not a conspiracy against City.
But you as a supporter don't see this perspective , unlike me that is an follower not a supporter). So I have to accept your view in good faith. But can you explain why.


In my opinion the Net result may be the same short term, but not long term.


I take it you would all love an ex Man city player as a regular pundit. who would you go with?

I can only think of paul dickov.

Trevor Sinclair is on occasionally and always speaks well, no matter who's playing
Richard Dunne is our BT man on CL nights. He's a bit too quiet but it's still early days in his media career

Shay Given usually does well

If anyone can shoehorn City into a tweet abt the Rags losing this piece of shit can. Poor Duncan.

Why would anyone ever go out of their way to search for shit like this.

What’s going on with people?

Superb response. It won't stop Frank recycling his usually nonsensical non agenda response though.

Yes clearly the only barometer to determine bias is the mentioning of empty seats and atmosphere.

As discussed Trevor Sinclair and Richard Dunne or two ex-blues who commentate on games but I doubt even ex-city players would resolve the problem for some. Many on this forum hate Niall Quinn and even boyhood blue Andy Himchcliffe and scorer in the 5-1 gets slated by some.

Other posters are more reasonable and I agreed with many who thought the choice of the likes of Ferdinand for our champs lge games was a poor choice. The coverage has vastly inproved of late.

Some sadly see bias everywhere and for many it is self-perpetuating as they continue to tune in to the likes of TalkSport who’s modus operandi is to make outlandish statements, provoke, to get people to tune/phone in and highlight this as evidence of bias.

Mike Summerbee would be my choice...he loves the club and wouldn't let the rag twats on TV slag us off
