Imagine the article's Palmer would be writing if Jose and United where 16 points in-front of City.

Not just him.

you really do avoid the the red(rag/dipper) media attack on city whenever, i really do think its a individual collective attack( i hope you get what i mean) on us. its wont affect the likes of myself and i would like to think you.
but there is a perception being trotted out(obviously bullshit) that despite the fantastic football that we are not as desirable as the rags/dippers et al
there are always a new wave of fans that are waiting to be swayed one way or another and that is their aim
and to my mind that is the sole purpose of the article, why else would it reported in such a fashion?
we are the real deal and they hate it, just listen to custis, jamie jackson etc

Where that City bingo thingy when you need it

Sadly the cretinous author of this thing hasn’t seen that bingo card, or he’d realise that he’s actually come up with the perfect parody of all the bitterness, pain ,and delusion that he and his like are suffering from.
It’s almost the perfect storm of irony.

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.

I don’t see the point in him saying this. I don’t give a toss about being accepted by the other fans. All I care about is how great this City side is and how much it hurts idiots like this. It’s an article just trying to reassure himself that one day City might just go back to being shit.


Another thing, don’t we have the highest tv viewing figures?

They'll just threaten to sue the site for copyright/intellectual property theft, mirror have done so on a few occasions.

How can you threaten to sue for "intellectual" property theft when the stuff they write is simply clickbait and not based on truth?

I have no problem with the Times, Guardian, BBC etc. but garbage like the sun and daily mirror should not be getting free advertisement on here!
 
Having soaked up the media's previews on Wednesdays match, It seems we were getting a footballing lesson at the Etihad earlier this year.

Then somehow fluked a FIVE to NIL result, not quite how I recall the game, these tossers make me grin.

Nah just a way to get the moaners moaning even more.

What I did like is this paragraph...

'Many Liverpool fans will miss out on attending the first game because UEFA’s allocation has increased for the match and there has also been greater demand from the club’s Priority Rights Holders, meaning there were fewer seats available for season ticket holders and members. '

So 'normal' fans miss out because of Liverpool FC's greed and yet they are not up in arms about it !!!

It's all they have, it's like a comfort blanket to them

It shouldn't, but that has really made my blood boil - what a load of absolute bollocks!!! Who is the **** that wrote that, just sounds like some dickhead on a united or Liverpool forum.

- Deeper and more loyal fanbase?? - seriously wtf
- Has he ever compared city's attendances to Leeds, Villa, Newcastle and Everton, especially when we were "shit"?? A little bit of research goes a long way
- city are one of the most watched teams in PL, his 'statistics' are basically lies, here's an article from a couple of year's ago, pre-Pep football too:

Have to say I don't give a toss whether Nigel, United fan from Essex thinks we're a small club or that we're not worthy of our success. Just makes it much more enjoyable knowing the meltdowns we've caused this season so far. With hopefully a few more to come yet.

From the looks of that article, Kevin Palmer is hurting more than most.

The fans are hurting but unlike when we were in pre takeover times they are hiding as well. We knew our team and management were a laughing stock yet we defiantly pledged our money and support to City year after year.

The problem of course is our success on and of the field so targeting the fans helps placate their worry that their fair weather fan base needs to be reassured that they are more deserving of success than us.
Illogical of course but we have already proved ourselves, lets see how they go on next season.

It's still their published content from a business enterprise. They can show a loss of revenue.
 
Just made laugh, he must have steam coming out of his ears writing that shite. If you are lucky and talented enough to write for a living why waste it on spouting negative stories? Surely he would get more pleasure and satisfaction from writing positive stories about, for instance, City's beautiful football, the excellent academy, where trainees also receive top class education, the Club's commitment to improving the local community, the Ladies Team, the work abroad with projects that help under privileged kids and the worldwide clubs under the City banner. But no, Kevin fucking Palmer just focuses on the fact Aston Villa are a more worthy model than us .
 
Sky sports news preview there was just like football focus. No mention of the game at the etihad and showing Just Liverpool’s goals in what appears to have been a 4-0 win for them back in January.
