The media agenda towards us a couple of days before the start of a new season is very sad and nieve.
"Will City get away with another sloppy start again this season"? (Sly sports)
"Spurs away is a must win game for City" (MUen)
Haha and based on what?
Oh yeah our shit start last season.
Conveniently forgetting we pissed balled the league last season.
They forget we are the Champions and have 38 games to retain it.
And who's to say all our rivals will be massively improved over a full season while we won't be.
Desparetly clutching at straws those pricks

This makes me laugh the most, though it is factually true, it is certainly used to give his opinion more gravitas, 3 fucking caps lol

It's even more underwhelming that that. His only competitive game for England was as an 84th minute sub in a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago. His only other England appearance was against Platinum All Stars but no caps were awarded for that game. He was also an unused sub for a friendly against Egypt.

One Cap Warnock sounds like an appropriate epithet.

Or maybe 6 Minutes Warnock.

That imbecilic hamster impersonator Solekhol is still banging on about City being "state owned" and "backed by a state" despite the discussions being about Messi joining PSG. Either he believes the shit he comes out with in which case he's incompetent and should be fired or he knows the truth but is just adding his two penn'orth to the clear agenda.

It really is amazing that nobody in horse racing has ever complained about state owned horses distorting the competition

Published an hour ago on the Sporting Life website.

Can Nuno's new Spurs shock Man City?
Does Harry Kane actually suit City?
How can Spurs beat Man City?

Nothing on how Leeds can beat United or can Norwich shock Liverpool ...

Maybe I am being a tad sensitive but the BBC has asked 20 pundits who will win the league. 13 said City, 7 said Chelsea. So why when they showed the predictions were the first 7 listed all saying Chelsea ?

Shearer front and centre again showing how much he despises us the bitter ****.
 
Had a lot of catching up to do on this thread during my lunch hour.
I'm not going to waste my breath on arguing the bullshit of citing Rupert Murdoch as a bastion of commercial fair play whose only motives are purely market-driven - but can I just say to those who are willing it to happen there's no point in waiting for City to take any organ to court for calling the club state-owned.
Firstly, they probably don't care if people think that. Secondly, if they did care enough to sue, there's a thing called the Streisand Effect to consider, let alone, the (one imagines) unwanted spotlight on the AD royal's lives. Thirdly, what would be the end-game of putting say, the Guardian or the Sun back in their box or even out if business? All it would do is fuel the fires of mistrust that already exist.
Hope I'm wrong but I just can't see it.
 
Talkshite got an interview with Phil on Drive tonight. Guess which question they've trailed it with...?

"Does Jack Grealish signing mean you lose your first team place?"

Phil puts the stupid questions straight.

I assumed it was alphabetical. Some of the pundits who favoured Chelsea said they would change to City should we sign Kane.

It starts with Sherear...alphabetical?
Why not random list Chelsea City City Chelsea etc . 13 out of 20 pick City and yet the first 7 are Chelsea.

As has been said, we should give one of these media groups such a kicking that the others fall into line. One of the major issues is continually describing us as 'state owned' when all the documentation shows that ADUG is owned by an individual and CFG, which does actually 'own' City, has three major shareholders.

There's also the accompanying narrative that we couldn't operate at the level we do without continual owner investment. That's also demonstrably false. It'd be nice if the club made it clear once and for all what the situation is.

They could then emphasise that there is no further excuse for misinformation and that any further repetition of these falsehoods would be treated as deliberate disinformation or even what's known as malinformation (which is disinformation that is deliberately designed to cause harm).

Good point about our CO owners.
Do you think some sort of statement from our USA, joint owner to the media may have some effect or are we already quietly speaking to them now?

C for Chelsea M for Man City - so alphabetically listed.

I thought that initially, although it falls down on the other columns.

To be honest, I think it's people finding irritation to keep themselves happy - looking at the table, it's immediately obvious that 2/3 have gone for City, 1/3 for Chelsea and only 1 thinks City will be below 2nd.

It displays better to my eye as it is than if the first column were reversed.
 
Headline in The Guardian: City ready to pay €150m for Kane. That’s right euros, apparently now the currency of the UK. The article does go on the mention this is £127m. Still, I’m surprised they didn’t go the whole hog and report the number in Turkish Lira to make it seem a really massive amount.
