Heard a wolves fan on talkshit saying City should be suspended until the 115 is sorted lol. Wanting us suspended for over 4 years fucking hell lol

But Talksport are to blame for that. They allowed the scouse waster John Bishop to go on a rant stating that exact point. Idiots then hear it and think its a great idea. It is a station not interested in facts or logic, simply sensationalism.

Gary O’Neil running out of excuses and explanations for Wolves’ predicament | Jonathan Liew

Team may claim moral victory after latest near miss but they have forgotten how to manage games under pressure

www.theguardian.com

Thought this is an interesting take from a person who has written a number of articles against City

Couldn't be arsed reading it given the "moral victory" headline, or am I being overly critical?

Full scale media manipulation and faux outrage in effect this morning.

Goebbels would be salivating at the amount of propaganda in today’s society and how easy it’s spread.

They’ve got a poll too!
Apparently 71% say the goal should have been disallowed
Loving the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth

71%, eh? My, my that's impressive, more than 7 out of 10 people think Stones' goal should have been disallowed. Conclusive or what?!

Very impressive indeed and doubtless providing the cue ('Tyranny of the Majority', anyone?!) for punter comments aplenty regarding City being nothing but dirty, brown-skinned oil cheats who everybody knows buy off referees and officials..

Trouble is, those who set up such polls and then use them to justify their positions tend not to understand much about statistical analysis including, may I offer, such things as the 'Yule-Simpson Effect' which points out (among other things) how correlations within the sample being analysed can skew the results/conclusions.

The thing is, the people who respond to such polls are what we used to call 'knobheads' back in the day in Hulme.. so, it should really say on the BBC footy website, '70+% of Knobheads believe City's goal should have been disallowed'

Purely in the interests of statistical accuracy, of course..

When did stephen warnock become a football expert or is it simply the dipper connection?

He was one of those “experts” who would drone on about nett spend, I even remember someone trying to push back on it once and his reply was “it is important”. Never mentions it now, I wonder why?

You know we like dealing in facts and accuracy in the Agenda Media thread - can you confirm it wasn't in fact Sue Smith?
