They won't be getting any clicks from me

 

[wolviedinho]

Has been for a long time.

Sad reflection on a once noble profession.

City dominate teams on the field but off it we have no chance. Ripped apart for clicks.

Collectively poor reporting on last nights game. It’s almost as if they are trying to ignore us.

Organised agenda continues to downplay our achievements.

The club can’t win. Take your pick between Sportwashing or ignorance.

Impartial sports journalism is finished.

There are as ever two levels of media response:

1) Don't print City good news
2) Actively campaign against them (Petrodollars).

Note those that point their weapons in our direction and act accordingly. Their journalists have some cheek when they say City fans are weaponised by the club. Pep is good enough to speak to you every week, and to patiently answer questions but you choose to treat the club with disrespect.

Even that scousers shite defender Trent believes we on a par with them in trophies but he finishes his jealous bitter bile on yeah we won the champs league they haven’t.

BBC Sport this morning on the game last night.

"But City were just too strong, some have suggested worryingly so for the competition's sake."

Yes I saw that and thought that has to win knobhead of the century for the writer but who is Harry de Cosemo? I tried for an anagram of all the usual suspects without success.

Living on past glories when they need to make ground up in the title race. Do you think Pep would be happy with a player talking like that at the business end of the season.

They certainly are, but they cannot ignore the quality of football we play, the star-studded squad, and, currently, the best manager in club football, try as they may! The DT this morning has a half page of Bernardo racing away after one of his goals, but also manage to crow-bar in the same number of column inches on some Serbian tennis player, and make sufficient room for a couple of inches about some game at Brighton, and some Scouse tosser, probably seething at the quality of football on show in Lisbon last night, comes out with the fact that CoachWreckers&SystemHackersFC have won it and MCFC haven't so we don't have the edge. On the inside of the sports section pride of place to the game at Brighton, and nigh on as much space for TAA squawking his primary school playground jibe. The Redshite gobshite suffers from what I think afflicts a lot of footballers - 95% of their brains are in their boots, and their brain is nowhere near the size of their gobs.

I think going off the internet and other news sources, Ronaldinho scored and Utd finally won a game last night lol.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Now that really is a disgrace..!

As the Sunderland taxi driver was once heard to say "Tory bastards!"

 

[jaiguruKun]

The Rag Hype machine is an important part of the Glazer business model and means they don't need a successful team to keep making money. Keep it rolling on and we'll just concentrate on winning the trophies.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

What makes you think privatisation will make any difference ?

It will to me as i wont have to pay for them!

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Don't hold your breath, the BBC are full of rags, hence their joke at putting uts scruffy win against 10 man Brighton on top billing initially. The sooner this lot are privatized the better. Just a joke click bait organisation these days.

As I have said before; you want to see BBC privatised? Go to the good old U S of A to see how that works.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Haha. I clicked on this thread and thought i'd test out the paranoia.

I won't click on the Mail or The Express but I clicked on the main football pages of The Times, The Guardian, The Mirror, The BBC and the Independant. City are the main or second story on every single one.

Let it go, for fuck's sake. This obsession really is not healthy. We are the best team in the world and are gunning for the treble. If you keep actively hunting you will always find something to support your confirmation bias somewhere.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

If they are privatised then they will still be click-bait.

But i will then have a choice as to whether I pay for their guff or not.

Works fine by me as i dont pay for it.

We watch very little bbc these days. My kids watch none! Their audiences are falling sharply in case you hadn't realised?

The country's national broadcaster had an inconsequential PL game as it's main sports story and a Scottish PL game second. It's hard to conclude that it isn't deliberate.

The BBC is getting more and more niche.

I want it to be more niche in as much as people who want to keep it should pay for it. Quite looking forward to seeing Williams coronation sponsored by Nike and shown on Eurosport.

 

[Tracking back]

Almost straight after the game you could go on any sports page online and we were way down the running order. An English club wins 5-0 away in Europe and barely a peep. In fact all the headlines were about the rags 2-0 flukey win against 10 man Brighton. It's a disgrace and it is almost a cancel culture of our football club.

It's all they've got left to lash out.

They thought we were nothing more than a flash in the pan. They didn't see this level of dominance coming.

Stop it.

City are the first and second story on the BBC football homepage.

Football - BBC Sport

It's not news to city fans but the media topic remains active because the media make money off the back off their football reporting and some City fans make their pages their digital home.

On a City fan site you can expect City fans to urge City fans to behave like City fans
