[Exeter Blue I am here]

It sounds like a particularly poor piece. It sounds like one of those articles where its difficult to fathom if the article is written to drive clicks or the writer possesses the same stupid opinions as a number of his readers.

Both

That article sums up the bitterness of some of the fuckers in the media,also the petty piece in the sun about our attendance’s give it another 12-18 months and they will have it down as only 2-3000 watching games,load of made up bollocks as they have nothing left to snipe over ...

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Fuck me what an absolute load of bollocks that article was.
Written by a C.unt for C.unts

It is written for the massed hoards of Irish Rag's. There are very few, if any impartial journo's left now. The majority are so far one way or another (Custice/Rudd/Castles and others), that what the have to say has not a single ounce of credibility.

Rory Smith, another poor journalist.

Chris Sutton when talking about the League game at the Etihad, Dippers for the first 30 mins battered us. FFS we winning before Mane was sent off, yes Liverpool we giving us a game but no way were City being overrun.

Salah troubled Otamendi 3 times 2 were crosses and 1 he fluffed it at Ederson we scored a cracking goal and Stones should buried one from a corner! Selective memory and the media going on and on and on about how they should of been at least 0-3 up before Mane got rightfully sent off! I bet not one of these spouting this shit has actually rewatched that game to make a proper judgement.

Who wrote that Irish Indo piece? don't want to click on it.

Kevin Palmer, ghost writer for Alan Pardew, John Aldridge, Denis Irwin amongst others. Seems to think he knows about football over the last century. This is the garbage Irish City fans have to tolerate.

also we had a couple of great crosses that were just out of reach that were very close to being goals

Just watched the first half again. No way did they batter us at any point, Salah as you mention has a good chance but both Stones and Jesus had good chances saved by Mignolet. Even Jim Beglin (ex Liverpool) commentating said City should have been 'out of sight' and that was before the sending off.

They didn't have any clear cut chances before the Mane sending off. Apart from the Stones one which you refer to Jesus robbed one of their defenders who was being too clever & trying to play his way out of trouble & was through on goal & should have done better. The only chance for Liverpool the media keep going on about was the Salah effort he hit straight at Ederson. But he was at an acute angle & Ederson got his angles spot on. The only way he was going to beat Ederson from the position he was in was to aim it for the corner flag with plenty of bend on it to get it to curl around Ederson. Half chance at the very best. It would have taken a great degree of skill to accomplish it.

Yep the power of the media works

Right. I'm going to go against my resolve of not linking an article and giving the journo the hits they crave and require. But this is an absolute gem from the Kevin Palmer of the *Irish Independent*.

On a side note. No doubt he supports one of United, Liverpool or Arsenal.

Just a couple of gems from many.

City are playing football few have seen from an English football in recent football history and have been installed as the bookies favourites to win this seasons Champions League - could have dreamed of that scenario when they were in the third tier of English football not so long ago - and yet the adulation that should be coming their way is absent. Many football fans resent their fabricated success and the long term damage to the Premier League adds to their annoyance.

Statistics suggest that TV viewing figures, newspapers sales and website hits are still being dominated by the Premier League's enduringly big clubs, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham still the four teams that boast a deeper and more loyal fan base, while Everton, Newcastle and Championship sides such as Leeds and Aston Villa benefiting from long-established and historic support that is not affected by their lack of succes. In truth, Manchester City don't

They are questions that will be answered a some point in the coming years and at that point, it is possible that Chelsea and Manchester City will be exposed for what they have been in recent years - brief impostors on a football landscape that will never accept them as giants.

Just spoke to my Spanish teacher after a lesson at the local Adult Centro he reckons this years final will be between us and Real Madrid, his team. Lets hope we make the final.
Maybe the UK media are not behind us but rest assured that the Spanish system recognise we are worthy opponents.

As a fan from Ireland who has supported city for over 25yrs I can safely say you could count the amount of positive articles they print about city on one hand there utd and pool all the way if you ever read the weekly John Aldridge column it's enough to make you sick it's so biased

 

[oakiecokie]

... and more loyal fanbase, hey !!!
Should ask the thick twat does he know what our average attendance was whilst we were in the 3rd tier.

The Rag's have a deep and loyal fan base eh? So why do they all go missing when they loose?

It will rear its ugly head more so on Wednesday night any praise we get will be through gritted teeth,be interesting to see their approach if we get past Liverpool and how they spin things for the possible semi final..
