For many years teams have come along and, like city, have won almost everything. The rags, dippers, arsenal and leeds have all had their day. I can still remember how everyone loved Notts Forest when they had their turn at glory.
Admittedly Chelsea didn`t always get the love of those wearing red shirts but even they didn`t get the type of press coverage we have had this past few years.
I haven`t bought a newspaper for years, mainly years due to this garbage they push at people. They do nothing but cause hatred within the game.
I loved it when Forest won things, even Chelsea and Arsenal in their glory years. But today it seems everyone hates us. Paranoia? I don`t think so.
Reports this morning about FFP and what UEFA could do to us is rife. Regardless of the fact that this is potentially stolen (they call it hacked like that is ok) doesn`t appear to bother the press. The fact that it is also pre- judicial also doesn`t stop them spouting their shite.
Every single game I see us getting better, stronger only to be disappointed by little points the gutter snipes bring forward. Stirling tripping up during a 6-0 win and you thought we had got through the tie unfairly. After a 3-1 hammering of the rags it was again headline news that Stirling shouldn`t have taken the piss out of the poor losers.
I do hope the club do something about this. They have lawyers and the means to be able to take on any snivelling German magazine and if we are as innocent as I hope then we need to get this all sorted.
In the meantime I continue to ignore all newspaper vendors and will not spend cash with Sky sports, who I believe are the worst offenders of the lot.
If every City fan decided not to subscribe to Sly sports and made it clear why do you think they would be happy? I`m not sure of the number but it could run into 10`s of thousands of City fans and the income from that would run into millions!
The Sun don`t like that dippers won`t buy their penny rag so imagine what Sky would be like if it was known they had lost huge amounts of cash due to piss poor reporting?
ah well. rant over. feel better now :)
