I think the scariest thing about the media reporting on Manchester City is the fact they don't like to report or write about what is happening in front of their eyes on the pitch, I call it (OTR) Ordered Target Reporting. The scum football fans that believe Liverpool or United do no wrong because it is never reported and hidden.

They Say Football is a result business, Well in Manchester City's case, The results and trophies never get the media hype they should demand or merit

It's been a 15 year orchastraed campaign by the red shirt clubs, the tabloids, and the social media click-bait red shirt shills.

I’m fuming now!! I was watching NW Tonight and they mentioned the statues for Summerbee, Lee and Bell but just had to bring in the Trafford United one and actually ended up speaking as much about theirs as ours!! There was no need for it, no need at all.
GGGRRRRRR. Miserable jealous little so and sos.

C'mon @ Eccles Blue, you should know by now that rags are the most important team in the world to the totally impartial BBC.

But how long can they keep it up and running, Manchester City are starting to grow a big worldwide fan base overseas and They only care about present teams and winners, Forget united or Liverpool's so-called loyal fans worldwide because it does not work like that, Pretty much like the NFL over here we sort of tag on to the SuperBowl winner that year we found NFL, My NFL team was the Chicago Bears and William Perry the refrigerator because of the UK showing the games on channel 4

I've posted a couple of times over the years regarding e-mail correspondence I had with a well established and (yes) respected football journalist in 2008 ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster.

Said journalist had written an article which had suggested City fans would not behave at the Old Trafford derby coinciding with the anniversary that week.

Politely, I took him to task and pointed out the errors in his article, plus gave him the history of the responses to the Munich air disaster I had experienced and witnessed since that dreadful day in 1958. Responses which included United's actions (or more rather 'inactions'); the local community's honouring of those who died; the outcomes for players who survived; and so on and so on.

I wondered in our e-mails why the press et al never challenged the latter day marketing line adopted by United which, to my mind, exploited the disaster, following decades of silent pushing it away into the long grass by United's owners and board of management.

The journalist's response was succinct (and I quote) - 'If you think any journalist is going to ruin their career by going up against Manchester United and Alex Ferguson you've got another think coming'

And still it continues. There are stories out there about many clubs, especially the Red Mafia, which could be investigated and told, if only football journalists had the cojones to do their job properly. And the collective and individual corruption and criminality is only the start of it..

Instead, our supine football media regurgitates mundane hagiographies and puff-pieces on behalf of their (Red) masters, all in the name of click-bait revenues.

F**k 'em.. they're all useless anyway.

It seems our owner is going into the printed/on line media business with his purchase of the torygraph and Spectator.
Coincidence? Is it fuck. You will begin to see some real news about teams in red in the not too distant future.
