The Sun have reported Robinho said after that game: 'We are all looking forward to the match with United.

'We have good chances to win, although they are very strong.

'But we play at home. We have to think that, in our stadium, we are always favourites.

The 24-year-old also confirmed he is happy at City, according to the paper he added: 'I'm a City player and I only think about making the club successful.

'I don't regret the choice I've made — I'm very happy at the club.'

If I was him I'd be seriously pissed off at the number of times I'd been asked this question.
As it is, I'm not him, but I still am seriously pissed off at the number of times he's been asked this question

Are they going to keep on asking it, every week, until they finally get him to say "no, I'm not happy", or "I'm sorry I didn't hold out for Chelsea", or give an answer that they can in some way twist to have it interpreted as that he made the wrong choice and/or the money influenced his decision.

I reckon, between the various (Rag-dominated?) major Meeja outlets, he must have been asked this question at least ten times.

The fact that they're still asking it, three months on, speaks volumes about The Sports Meeja in England

its just desperation.
who knows, roman might be sending "journalists" to report back.
as i say, desperation.

Generally speaking I hate our papers/media, but we've got to understand they will ask this question until we actually look like doing something. We know our club is great but everyone else wants to deride us/unsettle our stars. They are jealous of our money and don't want to think of us as 'big'. We are in a race now - we need to move forward quickly. This time next season we need to be where Villa are now, threatening the top 4. We can do it.

Look, The media aint happy with the situation most are cockny's or Rags, with the odd scouser eg Lawro. They realise when they look at the bigger picture that these guy's will make there money off whatever they build at the ground and not from what the club wins although a world class team will bump the price up a few quid more when they come to sell it. Looking at that latest building built in abu dahbi, and their attempt at a F1 track whatever they build there will make chelsea village look like a slum. (Im guessing at a hotel and some form of attraction other than the football club on the super casino site is their plan) The media know full well that city can take full advantage of the current financial climate and turn football on its head. ( we failed to get berbatov but made the rags pay 5 million more for him ) and this situation will keep on happening untill the so called big 4 cannot match us. Looking at the owners philosopy the arabs look to be ruthless. Although this happens everyday in business eg Microsoft and Tesco, in the football world the amounts needed to do it have never been available to one club alone (minus chelsea who were a top 6 club before abramovich anyway) and therefore the hierachy has been stable since the premier league appeared. Putting it bluntley the media don't really want the top 4 changing and are hoping to unsettle Robinho enough so he puts in a transfer request, leaves thus sending out a message to all the elite players not to Join the Blue revolution.

Couldn't agree more Wilf9. Good post.

Ther's aan innate conservatism amongst sport s commentators. Thay don't like change and they do like hierarchies. That's a conservative mind set.

The purring love fest over a very mediocre Scum last night nearly had me chucking up on the carpet. Uncritical bollox.

Are they actually paying these Cockney Rag buffons?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The very existence Manchester City reminds cockney rag glory hunters of just how plastic they are and they don't like it. That's why they have always typecast us (and the barcodes) comdey clubs.


It doesn't fit their lazy prejudices that we'll come good .. but they know that with our new found financial muscle and our large loyal fan base, it's pretty inevitable , unless they can destabilise the best players here (which won't ultimately work). They are stuffed and they know they are.

What wankers.

I have no jot of respect for them.

BTW did anyone else notice coverage of our win over the Arse? Nothing about us playing well. Everything about the Arse in crisis. F88king pathetic.

my local Sports radio had Chris Waddle on on Monday and you'd swear Arsenal had beaten itself last Saturday: no discussion of our goals, how well we'd played; Stephen Ireland; Robinho, etc, etc.
NOTHING about City or its players
ALL about the Arsenal 'crisis'
