Look at the words used. Liverpool shocked lol. Nothing negative after a defeat. Take the city headline... wasteful after we win. Nothing about us qualifying to the next round. The tone for both reports is very different. That why I said cunts!

You are right, they do choose negativity for us. Why couldnt they bring themselves to write something like.......

FODEN SCORES AGAIN AS MAN CITY CRUISE TO CL KNOCKOUT STAGES WITH DOMINANT DISPLAY.

I thought of that headline about 5 seconds after seeing the real one, and I,m not even a "journalist".

I know they didnt lie but they did put effort into not giving us too much credit. I dont give a shit what they write about the dippers really, its just annoying to compare the media representation.

It's called damned by faint praise and it's the norm whenever City win or achieve anything. If City won a big game 6-0 but missed a penalty guess what the headline would be.

Probably something about Liverpool

Under strength Liverpool concede defeat to Atalanta, with all eyes on the bigger game at Brighton on Saturday . They may as well just have written that bullshit, it just seems that every defeat they suffer is barely talked about, even when they got tonked at Villa it was met with " wow that's a surprise " and that was it, not much criticism of their performance. Contrast that to our defeat against Leicester, when it was a complete shambles they all liked to point that out. The difference in the reporting of both clubs is huge.

Did I imagine the football round up on Granada this pm? A relatively positive 30 second report with Foden's goal followed by both Atalanta goals. I can't confirm this as the wife was screeching at me at the time. One of 'those' discussions. But even in the midst of her giving full vent, most of the report seemed to devoted to Klopp's praise of Maradona. Very odd.

Hmmm, winning a big game 6-0 you say.........Pep, have you taken back handers from City springs to mind.

I like the way Salah is some sort of hero for catching covid whilst out partying and breaking covid protocols yet Foden got slaughtered for days.

Liverpool praising their diving cheating junkie of a mentor

...or "City win but Pep must win CL or he's a failure"

Remember this after his hatrick and winning away 6-0

Tevez putting the sneaky fucker in his place
I wish Vinny would have done the same, while making a song and dance about the questioning

In my view that Rob Harris intervention just minutes after we had completed the first (and last) ever domestic treble is the most malicious taunt we have endured from the media in the last decade. Harris (still being paid by Qatari-run Al Jazeera TV) has still not produced a single piece of evidence to back his question to Pep at Wembley which suggested "he had been paid off books" by our owner.
I don't recall Harris ever asking Mourhino the same question after he was given a suspended jail sentence (while United manager) for "being paid off books" while at Real Madrid. That was one of the many Footyleaks stories which was airbrushed out of history.

City fans are just paranoid bobby as you and I well know.

It is exactly this sort of thing which justifies this sort of thread, and I agree about harris and that question, not enough was made of it at the time.

He was a proper bitter **** trying to put a stick in the spokes of the most successful domestic side over a season ever. When any credible football journalist should have been singing our praises from the rooftops.
