Media Thread 2020/21

Reported this guff, no doubt the BBC will allow it to stay on the page:

"How far City have come since they were allowed to buy trophies.
That's why everyone loved seeing Leicester win the league.
No blank cheque book, just a bunch of hard working lads doing it the right way.
I can't imagine many Man City fans will be happy with the state of affairs at their club.
Outspend all around you and buy up trophy after trophy?
What a state the game is in!"

Clear to see the media are in thrall to the cartel. Spurs or Arsenal would get better coverage than us, never mind the red twats from either side of the Ship Canal.

Ffs Rochdale or Oldham ( no disrespect to them ) would get better coverage..

Is this the same Leicester that broke the football league FFP rules?

Fuck me sidewards GPC giving a 30 min team talk about us. We really have got under their skin and they can’t do anything about it, other than try and get involved somehow. It’s a bit like the young brother wanting to tag along with the older, wealthier, better looking brother on a night out.

The word twat comes to mind.

With less than 3 hours to go to the game tonight I had a quick look at the Fail's football page. The first mention of City's involvment in the game tonight is the 35th story down. Their 3rd story is about PSG being dealt a bow by Mbappe being fit enough only for the bench.

Among the stuff in between there are articles on GPC meeting Pocchetino, Lukaku, Soucek, Dier, Son, Deeney, Boly, the German FA President, Sancho, Notts County's assistant manager, Ratboy, Spitty, Cantona, last night's games, Inter Milan and Bale before another article on Mbappe.

Beyond pathetic as well as clear and obvious.

I can trump that! Sly sports website we are 44th & sliding.....I love it :)

The good thing, if there is a good thing, is that it's now plain and obvious what the media are doing and even the most blinkered can't come out with the "I'm sure it's just an oversight" or the "we're being far too sensitive" lines they usually use.

Take a screen shot and then compare it to the coverage that Chelsea receive tomorrow, might make for an interesting comparison

Did they have someone to translate?

All the more reasons to win it then, come on City

Every fucker against us.

Better than sticking two fingers up would be us winning tonight then lifting the champions league trophy in Istanbul..

 

[Blue Potato]

Been ignoring most of the coverage the last couple of days but this made me laugh - PSG keeping the potential Mbappe injury under wraps = Guardiola mind games

 

[Claytop]

Still nothing on the BBC site.

Take a screen shot and then compare it to the coverage that Chelsea receive tomorrow, might make for an interesting comparison

There will be at least 7 articles on England star Mason Mount for starters...

 

[mccity]

I don't know what you're all worried about, if we get knocked out BBC will have plenty of coverage.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Two hours before an English team play a CL semi-final. Top story on Sky Sports News? An Italian club are getting a Portuguese manager next season! You have to laugh.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Very little if anything even on the BT website, which considering they are showing the game is even more odd. Glad i dont have BT sport. Also going to cancel my Sky subscription after this season. Fed up with their Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher led agenda.

 

[blue oli]

Only mention on bbc seems to be PSG biased I assume the game has been put back a couple of days or something as I would expect something with a couple of hours to go until kick off

 

[Feed the Elk]

What gets me is that the press choosing to ignore City’s on field progress and success is unbelievably disrespectful to the thousands of English City fans who have been following their club for many years and who had no choice in their owners (who have arguably been good for the game overall, heavily investing in the area and overspending on players for many years which actually put money back into the football pyramid).

The British press is a disgrace

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

We do get headline billing on talksport, but no picture, that is reserved for Mourinho. lol

 

[PaleBlue]

As the old saying goes, "if you can't say anything nice, say nowt" seems to be the BBC take on it all.
