City fans: Are you going to allow your own to be picked off like this?
We are not likkle City anymore. Bashed up Bert has risen from the football gutter to be Champions of the Premier League. There will be over 50,000 at the game today, and millions more will follow the game around the world from every corner.
It really is time that we started to act as one. The battle is at its heart commercial. Manchester City are rivals of Manchester Utd and Liverpool, and the press know there is an audience hungry for City smear.
Their life-blood is revenue, so do not give them anything.
- Do not buy newspapers critical of Manchester City. Safest to just not buy any of them full stop.
- Do not contribute to digital sites like Guardian Football. They take over 50% of their income online. You are contributing to their growth if you comment online. There's no point standing your City corner, all you do is give the site legitimacy, and attract Liverpool and Man Utd supporters.
Absolutely do no set out to intimidate anyone online or in person. Use this forum and the internet to exchange ideas, and behave as one. There are many decent journalists out there. It is the corrosive, anti-City smear that we wish to stop.
If City fans do this en masse, we will start to hurt them commercially, and they will feel the consequences of their actions. I expect it will carry on regardless, but at least you will have the satisfaction of no longer sustaining their activity.
