Of course your right, the thousands of negative articles each season are cancelled out by the begrudgingly given positive articles when we come back from 2-0 down and Haaland scores his first hat trick.

Why would the press target the disallowed goal? It was disallowed as it wasn’t a goal in the eyes of the ref, so yet it could of been given, but correctly wasn’t, you sound a little gutted.

Also, funny your whole post is indicating no press bias, whilst the overwhelming evidence is right in front of us on a daily basis, confirmed not only by City themselves but people on here who work in that profession.

Ederson offers City far more positives to our whole style of play than negatives, so he and more importantly Guardiola couldn’t give a fûck what you think, but good on you for bringing another negative to your post, outstanding work.

The press go for everyone not just us. Only last week the rags were getting it from all angles. And next week it will be someone else. As for Ederson, I'll leave that for the appropriate thread.

If the big Norse God only had 3 touches a game and they were all rebounds off his arse, as long as he was putting up the numbers where it counts I couldn't give a shiny fuck.

When ever before has a striker been evaluated by number of touches ? I can't remember one. Going back a long time, players like Paolo Rossi and Gerd Muller - you'd never see them involved for long periods until they stuck the ball in the net, which they did regularly and in the biggest games. Like - who gives a fcuk about a player's touches ?
 
Is Shamoon Hafez a Liverpool fan?

My guess is he is.

When did Liverpool get awarded the PL title for not suffering consecutive league defeats since March 2021?

But they didn't.(Shamoon)

Don't know where to put this but I guess Twitter is part of the media.

City have been putting out a lot of good content for Pride weekend the past 3 or 4 days. The comments underneath the tweets have been disappointing to say the least.

Most were from new fans in the Middle East and America and many were disgusting. It's twitter, so it's to be expected but I don't like some of these new fans who have only just started following.

I don't expect many replies but I needed to say it.

Is there a website that counts every touch of Premier league players? Would be interesting to see where all the strikers sit.

They honestly don’t mate, it is clear and organised against City and the negative articles are many times more than any other club.

As for united, they definitely do get more stick then they used to, but nowhere on the scale of City, and watch/read any of the major sports sites and they even now get far more more positive articles then any other club, some of them are basically fanzines/supporter channels, the scousers aren’t far behind in the bullshit articles.

Look at how their 9-0 was greeted compared to when City hammer a team, the difference is clear.

He is a united fan, I checked his Twitter when he started doing the in match summaries on the BBC, he basically used it to take constant digs against City and was obsessed with City having any empty seats, haven’t seen him on them for a while.

Is it just me but if the keeper saves a penalty its not a missed penalty it's a saved penalty. A missed penalty is when the taker misses the goal.

From the bbc after the penalty was saved

Always from the taker's point of view it's a miss. From the goalie's, it's saved, but whenever we had a pen and not scored, whether it's gone over the bar, past the post or the goalie has saved it, I've always thought "Fuck, he's missed it!"

All this shite about Haaland having only seven or eight touches per match. Just think what the scores will be when we're used to him and he's getting twenty or thirty touches.

Traditional CFs didn’t get that many touches. Their job was always to score goals. Ball out to CF, lay off, go for return, bang it in. Two touches.

Once he's scoring a shedload from a minimum number of touches the RDAHMeedya will have to focus on some other irrelevant point to maintain the attempt to belittle.
 
Just watched the full match on City+ as at the game itself you miss a lot. Anyhow, normallly I never listen to the commentary as I usually turn the volume down. But what a refreshing change to listen to Mowbray instead of whats his name and the two reds spouting and spitting their bias. So credit where its due. Andy Morrison was good to listen to as well.

There is a world of difference between the way the broadcasting media and written press report on MCFC compared to the likes of the rags, dippers, spuds and Chelsea.

The negative reports that the rags receive comes from a place of real concern and anxiety amongst the journalists that their footballing institution is on the brink of collapse. It has undertones of anger directed at the negligence of the club's ownership rather than criticism of the club itself.
Then just like magic, a couple of back-to-back wins and all is well again in the world of football.

The dippers get more protection from the British press than the President of the USA gets from the Secret Service.
Both the broadcasting media and written press are terrified of upsetting the cult and work way too hard to placate the club and it's victim fanbase.

MCFC are largely ignored by the British media which is their way of dealing with the fact that the "wrong" club are dominating their beloved premier league. If it was either the rags or the dippers that were enjoying our success over the past six years there would be twenty four hour coverage across all media platforms.

You only have to look at this transfer window which has been completely dominated by the rags (despite them missing out on their number one target).
Liverpool have had one of their worst starts to a season. However, all that is a long distant memory now that they've put nine goals past Bournemouth and all is rosy again in the camp.

MCFC have only dropped two points in the opening four games of the season, yet all the media can focus on is that Haaland is only averaging about seven touches per game.

Great post.
 
I have to laugh. My mum, all 93 years of her, she's watched this team from afar (never been to a match unfortunately) since the days of Summerbee, Bell and Lee. City to her meant watching attractive football on the telly. Her mantra in the dark days was 'don't worry they'll be back'. Boy was she ever spot on. She absolutely loves this current side. Pep can do no wrong and in her words is 'so classy and respectful'. Imagine my reaction when she goes into a full on rant about our media after Liverpool's 9-0 win yesterday. 'City do that....it's disrespectful. Liverpool do the same.....it's a glorious demolition job. The press these days don't have a clue but they do have an agenda'. Well.....quite! I was pissing myself. Bless her.

That’s fucking disgusting and needs reported. Bunch of red ass licking cunts. Report the fucking facts not a fan bias money clicking view especially when a serious crime may have taken place with the person in question.
 
It's all about the Scouse and spurs.

The BBC match report on the spurs game might as well have been written by Chas and Dave.

Delighted to note that another supporter, says you "miss a lot" at the game itself, I haven't noticed too many express this view. I avoid the matchday forum as toxic as it is overloaded with posters who miss a lot. I do read the players' performance threads but they have become overloaded with cliques of fans who clearly miss a lot and consider the Bluemoon Forum as the Bluemoon Keyboard Critic's Forum, and delight in negative posts about perceived errors by players which are easily proven false by watching the game or incident on the City website. Dare to disagree or make a positive post about a player and verbal abuse is almost guaranteed.
I am so disgusted with the Sky/BT presentations I don't watch pre or post match, just the match usually with the Manchester radio commentary in the background. Mowbray's commentary was a breath of fresh air and I stayed with it from start to finish.
