City bingo from the BBC Breakfast sports reporter at 8.45 this morning. Haaland coming to City....with all their money... he's chosen them.....coming to the Premier league to play in Manchester.....perhaps what they said was " come and play in Manchester for 5 years, then go to Madrid"
Dear, oh dear!

The bit I saw nodding Dan was actually good cop v him, I know Walker is off soon but he needs to be careful he's a career to think about.
Yep sorry, missed your point.

The hacks being taken aback by Pep calling out the rimming of the dippers in this country is laughable. You never see Sky or BT sports going quiet on commentary to listen to us sing ‘Hey Jude’ like they do creaming themselves over You’ll never walk alone’. You don’t see Jake Humphries in tears when Liverpool get a questionable decision like he behaved when City beat Arsenal on New Year’s Day. You dont see the English press going after Liverpool for hacking intellectual property like they do for City being cleared at the CAS.
Then look at who presents all the shows on Sky,bt sports, BBC etc. Dalglish’s daughter, Redknapp, Carragher, Mcpointalot, Souness, Owen, Murphy,Mane’s fucking bird.
Sports media in this country is programmed to pump out content for 2 certain groups of supporters. After that the other clubs are fucked for coverage, why is it? To shaft as much money out of the Scouse vermin or are they scared of the backlash they could potentially get?

'It appears as if the Citizens are prepared to pay Haaland an eye-watering £500,000-per-week as they look to replace Sergio Aguero.'
The Guardian
'Haaland will earn a basic salary of around £350,000 a week with considerable bonuses and is poised to sign a five-year contract.'
So, a mere £150,000 per week disparity. 'It appears...'? First rule of journalism; don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Second rule? If you don't know, make something up (particularly, if it has the potential to stir up controversy or promote hatred).

Thats it right there, anyone speaks out they are rounded on. I’ve heard of horror stories on Twitter exchanges with Liverpool supporters of anyone giving them a different opinion, they then seek to find out where the person works and start harassing them through that means. This lot would do well in Russia spreading disinformation and shutting down any view that goes against the agenda.

You haven't seen anything yet! I am just trying to come up with the awaited negativity from the usual muppets. I have come up with these ( feel free to add - I am sure there will be more! ) 1- He is injury prone 2 - He only scores penalties / tap-ins etc 3 - He is unproven in the Premier League 4 - Can he do it on a cold tuesday night in Stoke / Burnley etc 5 - He is a mercenary and is using us a stepping stone to get his dream move to Real madrid etc
And still no replays on any channel or any images in the media of Fabhino’s forearm smash sending off which would have seen him out for the season bar the last match. If that was one of our players it would be 3 days into a 5 day loop on Sly with Dermot Gallagher telling us it is “definitely the right decision to retrospectively have him banned”.

You don't have to look hard to see all the hallmarks of a classic 'pity city' story. The journalist in question committed the cardinal sin of offering even mild criticism of 'the best fans in the world' (trademark) before compounding his error by mentioning Heysel. Cue faux outrage from the editor of the Echo and immediate disciplinary action by the Express whose editor is, you guessed it, a fan of the dippers. Nice to see the judiciary still act as an independent arbiter of free speech in this country though I'm not sure the final outcome received much in the way of media interest. Hmmm...why could that be I wonder?Does this answer your question at the end?

Sam Lee’s denial of any media bias this week summed him up.
The Athletic is set up to report on 2 clubs. They have cherry picked the most one eyed reporters to cover those two clubs - whilst City have the same number of reporters as Sheffield Wednesday. Actually probably less pro-rata as Sam seems to pick and choose the away games he attends.
So whilst teams in red get fanzine writers / lifelong fans or bloggers - we get a rag from the Midlands with his head in the sand writing what his red bosses tell him, or ( lets not forget this nugget ) reporting back from WhatsApp calls with Delaney McKenna and co.

The man's a prick pure and simple. Suarez should have bitten his jugular.
