So did I. Likewise I generally don't get that would up by the BBC. The media generally fall into two camps:

1) Those whose commercial focus sees them trying to get into the mindset of the Man Utd and Liverpool fan, and
2) Those with a political axe to grind who somehow think that the Emirati are a threat to the Free World.

It's no. 2 that are the problem for they are evangelical and will spend their lifetime motivated by MCFC. We know these people very well. They trailblazed the FFP prosecution. That was to be their finest hour. It was not to be but they will never give up.

Yep chelski we’re banned from buying players(for two seasons I think) and underneath this headline on the bbc sport page “your next city”. The fuckers were willing for us to be banned from the ecl. Impartial my arse.

Look again. We aren't the main or second story on The Times, The Guardian, The Mirror or The Independent. I checked The Mail and The Express, and we aren't even mentioned on their sports pages.

There is no paranoia, this is the sad truth.

We actually do get a mention in the DM but there are 8 aricles on United before our report.

The actual analysis was ok(it must really hurt Ferdinand giving us praise!!)

But the commentary was fucking tragic. Ian Darke is just a talking Cliche machine, full of fucking waffle and Martin Keown is just thick as fuck. He can't string a sentence together without saying "For Sure"

Camel Gob is probably purring inside at the football we produce, but has to put his cockney rag face on to appease the zebra herds

The number of times I shouted "Fuck off!" at the tv last night because of one inane comment after another - I think my mate thought I had turret's syndrome.

I read that too. But there are still City fans putting their name on their web-site. Use your heads blues. If they want to abuse our club, they should pay a price in losing all connection with City fans. Act as one City.

And we should all stick our fingers in our ears and go nah nah na nah nah.

We will never win the PR battle. We are not the so called ‘romance club’ such as United or dipperpool, Barca or Madrid

Uniteds PR surrounds the bubsy babes, the
Theatre of dreams and all that bollocks

Liverpool paisley, shankly the hillsbrough disaster and the much hyped European nights at Anfield

Barca and cruyff and camp nou and la Masis and exotic players

Madrid the galacticos and 13 champions leagues and di steffano etc

we are imposters, we are there to be taken shots at. We are looked down upon.

I don’t read papers either online or hard copy. I already know the script. It’s all propaganda.

Fuck em all, what I’m witnessing is all the report I need. Let them bury their heads in the sand of historical bullshit. I’m not arsed. History is being made and they all know that. No matter how much they try to avoid it.

We do get some unfair jibes and biased coverage in the press but an element of our fanbase have taken that paranoia and insecurity way too far and have become obsessed.

We certainly don't get ignored.

Fuck em. Everyone hated Man United when they were successful. It comes with the territory.

I'm different then DD ..I fucking hated them cunts even when they weren't successful.
In fact not a day goes by when I don't hate them..
If they lost every game from now till the end of time I would still hate them..
 
Jonathan Liew's report in the Grundiad is that paper's usual attempt to show that City are well on the way to ruining football. Sporting's manager is only wotking to get a move to an "elite club" this summer because his star midfielder will be on the move then and any "smaller" club will be ruined just as City have ruined Benfica's, the stars of which are now playing "for the highest bidder". Actually reminds us of Liverpool's evisceration of Southampton a few years ago but never mind.
For Liew this is City's iron fist which treacherously is wrapped in a velvet glove so that a truly sinister organisation appears as a good football team. But don't get carried away because "curiously, this game told us very little we did not already know about them. This is the gift and the curse of the modern City: often we have no idea how they will fare in adversity because they so rarely encounter it. All we can really say with any certainty is that the road to St Petersburg in May will be paved with far sterner challenges than this." let's await Liew's ruminations if Liverpool win tonight.

Pretty pointless arguing about dynamic webpages.

Also pretty pointless putting down City fans when they see things that maybe aren't there, after the amount of shit thrown at the club over the last decade, and which continues to be thrown btw.

I can understand the "paranoia" and won't begrudge people their agenda view points in the circumstances.

Interesting though that there are more comments on the BBC page DD posted about the single article on the City match, than the two about the United match. Maybe the worm is turning (even if a lot are negative, clicks are money).

The ignorance towards us by the media in this country is one of resentment and fear. The resentment comes from the entitlement of the media in creating an order of success worthy teams during the first twenty years of the Premier League era.

The fear has arisen from a definite decline in some of those 'chosen' teams along with the emergence and later sustained success of one of those 'chosen' teams main rivals.

As long as there is the obvious, continued ignorance and misinformation spouted about us, I really believe we will continue to dominate as it will not only serve to motivate Pep and the players it will also maintain the sub servant attitude & the impotent mindset of the media and our main rivals.

You only ever succumb and languish whilst under the power of ignorance. Leave them to it, they deserve it.

I don't think it motivates the players. They couldn't care a damn about Jamie, Miggy and the rest.

I nearly choked on my cornflakes when I read it:

Just ask Ederson, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias or João Cancelo: all once teenage products of the Benfica talent factory, now turning out for the highest bidder.

I feel it motivates Pep as he has to answer their inane, loaded questions about fuck all. Pep knows what a bunch of slapped arse, history clinging, job stealing fuckwits they all are.

Pep then motivates the team.
