Brazil's Breakfast Show on TalkSport was complete dross this morning. During the newspaper review at 7, Brazil and Saunders were busy flirting with Laura somebody or other, whilst she was trying to report on last night's results. 'Magnificent Seven' was quoted, and off they go on a tangent quizzing each other on who were The Magnificent Seven, and singing the theme tune. There were minimal references to our game, plenty of references to Juventus and Ronaldo, more horse racing discussion, the whereabouts of Ray Parlour, until they decided it was a good idea to discuss United. So frustrating. It reminds me of a bunch of immature lads, just bantering on in a pub.

This is the sort of shit we are up against. It is drip fed all over social media, on peoples doormats and workplaces and schools until the thick masses believe it. Brainwashing of the highest order.

Somebody called this “media doping” & I can’t think of a better explanation.

Clubs gaining an unfair advantage by having a larger presence in the media, ensuring they are treated differently.

Our coverage is mainly negative while the favoured few positive. It sticks in peoples minds. You ever have a conversation with the cretins about football and as soon as you mention you support City all the tired cliches come out direct from what the media print.

I never hear how much money Liverpool have spent or that they severely depleted a decent Southampton side by raiding it for their vest players. Or the hundreds of millions the rags have spent. It is annoying.

The only tweet Matt Dickinson made during the game.

These ****s get to watch our extraordinary team live for free and that's all they can come out with.

No team can ever be expected to win a competition that contains most of the best sides in world football, all the inevitable unpredictability of a cup (on top of football’s usual randomness) and ties that will contain wafer-thin margins but City must have as good a chance as they have ever had. If they are teenagers, they are precociously talented as another exquisite dismantling, this time of Schalke, showed.

I have just bothered to send this to the BBC complaints department and have asked for a reply. Undoubtedly some Rag will be back at me telling me this is not the case and they are fair and balanced.

Every year I pay my BBC television license based on the fact that it is for a publicly funded 'neutral' news, sports and entertainment company. The bitter, biased nature of the company's sports reporting is both clear and consistent, and that is the BBC allows its so called sports reporters to portray Manchester City Football Club in such a negative way it is utterly disgraceful. It is clear most of them have very strong allegiances to other football clubs and seem hellbent on painting Manchester City in a bad light. Year on year Manchester City has been the subject of many negative articles, reports and social media postings by employees of the BBC seemingly without fear of censure or retribution from the 'neutral' company they are employed by. This is without doubt unacceptable and must be addressed by a company who is funded by the public to deliver unbiased reporting and entertainment and not some propaganda machine used to slant the truth and show bias towards a direct competitor of the reporters chosen team. The uneven reporting of Manchester City in relation to some of the other teams competing in the Premier League and high level cup competitions is in a word despicable. It is clear from the manner of most of your articles, reports and tweets that the author has an affiliation with a rival of Manchester City and seems to have the power to distort the truth and facts to suit there own biased agenda without retribution. This must come to an end as it is both unfair and totally against everything the BBC is supposed to stand for. Please address this as a matter of urgency as it has been going on before the company moved to Salford but since then it has got increasingly worse. Just a fair and neutral view of Manchester City football club is all I ask for but for more years than I can remember the BBC has allowed some of it's employees to treat them is anything but.

Feel like I'm pissing into last nights wind but I saw someone had posted a link and felt I should at least try. I await their reply with an already deep sense of disappointment in their findings but thought I'd do it just the same.

Personally i think if you are going to complain you are better giving a number of comparative examples. They can easily politely refute what you have said as your perception, but if you constantly give examples (eg the tunnel club dig versus Spurs equivalent etc or City being second on a 7-0 win to Juve in headlines versus (you have to find an equivalent where British team did well but a generic great result occurred offshore)
