Evra's a typical rag liar. I remember when he was playing at Juve and was interviewed ahead of a Manchester derby, he insisted that not only he but also his teammate Carlos Tevez would be rooting for United in the forthcoming game. In fact, Tevez has made clear on a number of occasions since leaving us that he prefers City. Says it all about Evra's archetypal United arrogance - but without the self-awareness to understand that, these days, he's got nothing to back it up with.

The anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster is the day after the Champions League final so obviously the will be a minutes silence to commemorate it. Especially as it affected one of the clubs involved. Just like at the FA Cup semi final

So for Sancho £77m meaning the transfer fee, for Haaland £213m is the equivalent transfer fee, or does include any made up bollucks figure these idiots can come up with?
Wonder how Alfie's boy will compare with Sancho, Maguire, van dyck to say nothing of pr37 and poggy!?!

It's good that someone is finally bringing it up, but the article is internally inconsistent as if they can see it but don't want to believe it.
The headline says it "helps prove" the bias point and the article says it is "peculiar" this only happens to one club, but they themselves don't "give much credence" to the bias argument.
So which is it? A cabal of journalists who dress up City's and only City's transfers in as expensive a light as possible to show them negatively? Or ... well, what exactly? How do they explain it otherwise if they don't think it is bias?
Maybe I am being too hard on them and should be grateful they are at least recognising the bias, no, sorry, the effect of "preference, or the club involved". Not bias, though. Hell, no.
Same paper, same journalist, 2 different clubs…. Spot the difference. No agenda tho
Well done Pep on stating the bleeding obvious about the media bias towards Liverpool.
It’s also shone a much needed light on the snide amateurish coverage that our club has suffered for too long as these sycophants try and please their Liverpool/ United loving customers.
The pathetic justifications and some of the other lackeys suddenly going mute makes it even better.

Everyone knows Sancho plays at OT for the love of it, doesn't take a wage.
... and those who have commented, generally have reinforced the truth in what Pep said.
It's a start

I've just pulled James Ducker up on that piece by name in the comments section of the Haarland article in the Daily Telegraph. Let's see if he responds? What Pep has done by calling the media out is excellent. Even other none City fans are now making comments and asking why are we reported on so differently? As you have pointed out in this article and also the article by Luke Edwards on the quadruple in the Telegraph clearly demonstrates blatant anti City bias which is now simply undeniable.
Since Pep's quote on Sunday, the media have only been proving him absolutely right. Pathetic.

Man City a 'stepping stone' for Haaland before 'dream' Real Madrid transfer
Erling Haaland will see Man City as a ‘stepping stone’ before making a ‘dream’ move to Real Madrid later in his career, according to reports. Haaland was announced by City on Tuesday afternoon afte…

It is a page to take the mick out of the crap media, and doesn't really intend to do anything that point out double-standards or out and out tosh.
Collymore and Custis are favourite targets.
On the transfer fee quoting with/without wages, I don't think it is just City, but it is clearly only for certain clubs where City are one of those clubs.
Or more accurately, who those clubs are not (wear red, play in the NW, aren't Crewe or Accrington).

It's part of their Mediawatch column, which specifically calls out the stupidity & hypocrisy of the football media. They're never short of material.

The mickeys really believe they're doing things ''the right way''. I simply point out the cost of their last cl final squad. There is no come back from that.

Of course they do things the right way. Getting players to go on strike and conducting dodgy deals with related clubs. Every club should do that instead of paying a fair whack and agreeing transfers with the selling club.
