I hope that's true. An indication that the BBC is much less biased than the rest of the media when it comes to City.

That’s a very sweeping statement that would not stand up to any objective scrutiny. ‘The rest of the media’ is a broad church.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I don't watch any football on TV apart from us.
Yesterday, before the match, Sky did a comparison chart between Brighton and us, most shots possession etc and of course the cost if each squad.
I think I know the answer but do they of have they ever done that with other teams ?

Yes, loads of other teams. Whenever they play City.

So it's full of kiddy fiddlers ?

If the Gorbals Bully had had any people around him who dared tell him things he wouldn’t like, but should listen to, they would have been screaming at him “Do NOT respond to this. Do not engage with the premise, or you concede the basic argument”. But he didn’t, preferring sycophants and toadies to people with his, and his employer’s, best interests at heart. So he swung, and he missed, and he twatted himself in the head with a baseball bat. And the entire club have been doing it ever since. Glorious.

Actually, we should be claiming a rebate from the City council, because the Tevez banner disguised the exterior of just about the ugliest building in Manchester, which is still there.

The ugliest building in Manchester is Old Trafford.

Not in Manchester ; )

Anything about all the empty seats at Brighton last night?

According to Leeds-Live.co.uk

Manchester City are of course owned by the Etihad Group who count on strong links to the governance of Gulf state, the United Arab Emirates.

This is the sort of nonsense we're up against.

They never learn do they? Fair enough, write us of when we are 13th or 13 points behind in January, but ffs. We outplayed this lot a few weeks ago.
We may not win it, but if we do, rest assured, we will remind them/him of this.
Feel sorry for Lineker actually. On motd he genuinely looked deflated and going through the motions. He's either run out of nice things to say about us, or he's shit scared about what we are going to do.

Of course, Leeds-Live are owned by the Mirror Group who count on strong links to the red tops and utter bullshit!

Coverage on Match of the Day, Radio 5, www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football is imo far better than the more commercial media like the Daily Mail, Mirror, Guardian etc. In the commercial media there are the odd isolated journalist who are fair, most are just cheerleaders for Man Utd and Liverpool and the flip-side of that coin is to denigrate City.

Surprised you don't watch other football beside City.
I must admit to watching most premier league matches.
I just don't listen to the idiot pundits before or after.
Though as i whissed through Motd this morning I heard KEOWN saying Foden is getting quicker. Clicked at 23.7 a couple of years ago so he must be ABolt now)

Not the biggest fan of Carlos's after his great disappearing act and off field antics but I would be a hug hypocrite if I said I wouldn't enjoy the poster reappearing on the billboard every now and again...........

You’ve cited the most egregious examples, but they don’t represent the entirety of the rest of the media.

Keys and Gray coming out with tge same nonsense on bein.
Chelsea obvious champions elect based on beating bottom of league, and how it says it all about their mentality tgat they didn't ease off at 4 nil.
Whereas what can you take from City beating 4th placed team Brighton, not very much.
We gave tgem all a head start last year and still won comfortably. They'd be wise to be mindful of tgat fact

Is there no "H" button on your keyboard!

Bravo sir, take a bow! :)

 

[CookiesForCream]

Imagine if Foden played for a ‘red team’. He would be paraded as the best player in the whole galaxy just like Salah. But, as he plays for us, he’s a ‘great talent’, ‘developing brilliantly’ and all the other ‘nearly there’ cliched comments.
The media hate us because we have upset their beloved red wankathon, they are, and always will be cünts.

Correct me if I'm wrong - didn't City beat the all conquering (hit 7 against the worst team ever to grace the premier league - and with 10 men - Norwich) Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a few weeks back? Or, is my memory playing tricks on me again? I was all confused the other day and imagined we'd won the Premier League 4 times in the last 5 years! Gave my head a wobble but those thoughts just keep recurring!
