It is 7.30pm and, given that the 'Match Thread' is (unusually) a tad confusing regarding tonight's team, I went on to the BBC's footy page to get confirmation of who's in the starting XI for us at Young Boys.

Barca-Shaktar leads the page, followed by a preview of Celtic at Atleti. Then there's news of Rooney's first home game as Birmingham (oh joy!) and confirmation that some goomer named Gakpo will be fit for Liverpool's tie in the Thursday Night Selling Platers' Cup. Newcastle are there. And so on and so on..

On City? There is nothing. Zilch. Rien. Niente. Nada. At all. Not even the starting team hidden among the other reports.

I don't expect or want the media to blow smoke up our jaxies like they've always done with the Red Filths at either end of the East Lancs and the North London Red Filth.

But I do expect at least some coverage and information about our latest qualifying game in the biggest club football competition on the planet of which, by the way, we are the current champions and title holders, to be included in the general football page of our national broadcaster.

The lack of respect is appalling. And people still say (less regularly though, thankfully) that there is no agenda against City.

The same old Stockholm syndrome nobheads will be along to defend them in a minute

Shearer on 5 live just now:-
"They have done things the right way here at Newcastle. They have been very shrewd in the transfer market, unlike Manchester City."

WTAF!

Hmmmm. One club pulled out of signing a player with betting allegations and the other signed one then found out about betting allegations. That club will lose their 55m star signing for potentially 10 months, up to 3 years, depending on how much he co operates, if proven. I know which one I’d call shrewd, Alan.

He probably talking about the first few years of the take over when there was no ffp we did spend fortunes and one year we had losses of 197m but the club had a plan! Also we won a trophy after 3 years of the take over the league 4 years after the take overs and 14/15 years later the lot!

Now I do hope Newcastle win a trophy but will it be after 3 years of there take over?

Yes I think Shearer may be referring to our initial take over and signing such as Santa Cruz Adebayor etc (I could be totally wrong).

Shearer has always come across to me as being fair and complimentary about City so this could be a case of a quick sound bite where a point is not well made.

Based on comparison to us they have to win the fa cup this year, although we didn't quite make the CL in our first full season after the takeover, which they have done.

Do any other British team get the same negative biased commentary on their European matches as us?

It's fairly apparent that we're the bad boys in this pantomime lads :)

Oh no we're not - if Wio can get a "personal", sycophantic interview with Pep or Erling.
Oh yes we are - whenever City don't pulverise the European opposition...

We're not talking about years ago ( I was there by the way) we're talking about today. I had a ticket for the Stretford end when Glyn Pardoe broke his leg and the fuckers all sang we hope you've broke your leg when he was carried off on a stretcher. Times were different back then and thankfully most fanbases have moved on. The rags haven't as far as I'm concerned, they're scum and always will be. It's pointless yourself and any other fucker quoting me and trying to defend them, save the future arthritis in your fingers. Oh and before I'm lectured again I'm aware we have a fair few fuckwits in our fanbase, thankfully in my experience these are quite rare.

If nobody at City is allowed to talk about this ongoing investigation, why is this scouse piece of smeg allowed to put out tweets and talk about it?
Wish the club would grow some bollocks and do something to shut him up
City would rather spend it’s time banning it’s own fans for drawing nasty words on toilet doors, tickling the back of Villa’s goalkeepers neck and letting the world know that 4 young pissed up tossers out of 52,000 sang an awful song for 20 seconds for TikTok

You didn't cause offence mate it's your opinion. I'd just had a few others quote me and start defending the rags in their posts and it was getting tiresome so I was getting snappy.
I'm sorry about your arthritis I didn't know that, it was mentioned as too much typing can cause it in the fingers. I hope it improves as much as it can, both my parents suffer from it too.
 
I blame the demise of Bury, Bolton, Derby, Wigan, Wimbledon all on City. Why have they given point deductions to these clubs before City have been investigated. Absolute disgrace!
