Calling Frank Sinatra to the thread, Frank Sinatra!!

Please don't!

 

[Tracking back]

Just wondering if there's anyone still struggling with the concept that the Media have agendas against us?

Very doubtful EBG.

I have even managed to convince a couple of rag fans at work and they're completely on board with the whole agenda theory.

Calling Frank Sinatra to the thread, Frank Sinatra!!

Indeed. Him or his alter ego pigeon shit usually all over telling us we're talking shite.

 

[Roy Munson]

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.

The 'agenda' was, is and always will be about engagement.

City are a fucking behemoth when it comes to media interest.

Not bad for a club smaller than Leeds that nobody cares about.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Now let me think for one moment ... trophies or global attraction ? Mmmmmnn. Its a difficult one but I think I`ll opt for trophies.

Strange thing is we're top dog in the States now....is this why so many US owners despise us?

 

[madloaf]

I love this stuff. Not that it'll matter - never let the truth get in the way of a good clickbait.

Watched a stream today where Man City YouTuber LB got endlessly disrespected by a variety of ignorant red scum donating money to the channel for the privilege. I don't know if LB jumps on here and I wouldn't expect him to reveal his handle if he did, but just in case he does, man why put up with that endless stream of stupidity especially from the moron host and the idiot LFC supporter whose stupidity is matched only by his arrogance? I appreciate your efforts to present our side, but it's obviously a complete waste of time...I don't a give fuck how much money or exposure one gets it has to be excruciating to put up with that kind of ignorance...SMH

he posts on here yeah

 

[Revolver]

I stand to be corrected but the best bit of work by a Trevor for City since Morley’s equaliser at Bradford.

Throw a light on these hypocritical clowns .

I would suspect so. Lovely aint it ;)

 

[oakiecokie]

Absolutely brilliant. Well done that man.

Ian Herbert from the Daily United.

Newcastle United and Leeds United are still bigger than City.

2 absolute whoppers.

And City are (still) haunted by United.

What an absolutely clueless knobhead. We'd won more than Leeds even before their takeover despite their faux rivalry with the Rags. Newcastle haven't won anything in 55 years!

I guarantee if you go back 15 years you'll find an article of his saying "having rich owners does not buy a good team spirit." There were loads of them about at the time.

Just been to the pub. A few Dipper supporters on the table next to - not scousers. Talking about football. This gem…. What about City? Already been found guilty of 115 charges, got to be relegated. That’s the job our vile media have done on us we are already guilty.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I think @tolmie's hairdoo is your man for the detail on this one. I remember him posting about it before.

I kicked them out. They went after my poor mate Lindsay Sutton, who was unfortunately a freelance, covering it on behalf of the Mirror that night.

All the press lads were cowering inside and I went outside to have a word with the group of lads and told them it wasn't him and to come back at the next home game and I would point them out.

They kicked the door in for shits and giggles but I knew all the lads and they were sound.

I went back inside and all you could hear was Lindsay shouting, 'Please tell 'em it wasn't me?'

I even walked him back to his car after the game because he was still shitting himself.

Are the bigwigs going to make up the losses for those franchisees, some of whom may be City fans as well.

There really should be a boycott of Dominos. City now have one of the biggest social media audiences in the world. There are at least 75,000 members on this forum alone. They would shit themselves. Commercial boycotts can be very effective.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

This is the crux of matter. Negative stories about City get a huge volume of traffic from MUFC and LFC fans. Hating City is a very lucrative business these days.

Sorry but that sounds very dipper.

75 thousand members on here?

Holy foccacia, I thought we had no fans?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

I know what you mean. I don't want us to become "Victim FC" but I remember that one of the tipping points for the removal of Peter Swales at City was a threatened boycott of Greenall's beer. At the time the brewery had a stake in the club. Parking the hysteria to one side though I think we could learn a lot from the way other fanbases campaign to get things done. We have been slaughtered by the media (social and mainstream) and being taunted by a pizza company feels like the thin end of the wedge.

Wouldn't it be interesting if one of these was found in a certain company's takeaway, a hair or even a toe nail. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was posted on social media?

Like it!
