Yes I get the media are up utd arse, but I was wondering what your average fan of other teams made of it ? Because I expect most know where Stockport is and will see it as Manchester anyway. The irony for me is, wasn't this "Stockport" thing started by Terry Christian , a guy that lives in Bramhall, Stockport !It's clear what he's trying to suggest with the Stockport comment and it's clearly designed to pander to the Rag masses. They want everyone to think we only have small pockets of support outside of the City where most people support the Rags.
The media do not get us and what makes us tick as fans. It's far too difficult for them to understand. They simply can't compute how anyone from Manchester doesn't support United. So rather than try and understand and relate to the experience of being a Blue with it's spectrum of different emotions and experience they seek to marginalise and ridicule us. Far easier them to appeal to the lowest common denominator club.
It's the obvious lies they tell which annoy me the most. For example, to refer to Ederson as being at fault for the second goal last night which no keeper in the world would have saved whilst at the same time referring to his price tag is just shameful bias.
Every player we sign is prefixed with his price tag now. It's their way of reminding everybody that our success is hollow as it has been bought and everyone else's, particularly the Rags, will be earned. It has got to the stage where we need to turn the tables on them in some way. If we win something this season the players should come out in tops printed with the price we paid on them. Just some way of telling the media that we're aware of what it is up to.
Your talking to yourself again.I am not that particular blue with balls personified but I am blue through and through and love everything Manchester City.
He actually writes for the Telegraph......He writes for The Times...
You trying to say plumbers are thick?The papers are for fucking idiots and they know it.
A close friend of mine works for amongst others The Sun, she is regularly told to dumb down her journalism. Her fella who's a plumber by trade wrote a piece for her as she was busy and was rejected as it was too well written.
They're pretty much comics for adults.
I agree though, they do help form the opinions of the masses!!
