Yeh me too. What concerns me a bit is that some of our supporters are actually believing all this click bait bollox

They’ve been primed for it, is it any wonder with the way the media work.

Just seen on MOTD, BBC producing a GPC spectacular, whilst the Rags are shitting the bed.

It’s all about who controls the narrative, and the media do really control ours.

Not if you read the charges thread tonight. Apparently not only are we getting relegated, they will be putting 2 years ‘no promotion’ punishment in there as well as transfer bans. I’d love to know what world some of our fans are on. So mass criminal fraud it is all round then lol.

Blimey. Thankfully we didn't murder 39 Italians and get all English clubs banned from the champions league for 5 years. Even more severe punishment and media hatred I'd expect.

Said before say it again , after the punishment handed out to the Bears by the SFA anything is possible. For some reason we seem to be hated by the powers that be in a way the rags and dippers never were, the nearest thing is the Leeds side of the early 70s. They got some very bad decisions but nothing like we have had to live with.

Are Ake and Stones not always on the Injured list and you think a 34 year old Walker is going to make any difference.

Head in the sand comes to mind.

Not at the same time as Dias, Akanji, Kovacic & Rodri that’s why it’s been unprecedented.

34 year old Walker hasn’t had any injury issues previously.

Those statistics must be absolute bollocks
Stones, when fit and available, is our best centre half
Look at his playing record
An example being, last season, 16 PL matches

I think his workload is managed so he may play champions league & bench premier league etc still available but would not be able to maintain 50 games a season. (85%)

Last season we lost all our PL games without Rodri - the writing was clearly on the wall and our summer window was woeful - even the Blind Pugh can see that now.

This season we were top of the league & only undefeated team in Europe without Rodri. We’d changed the narrative to being able to play without Rodri then lost another 10 players to injury in a week & the narrative switched back.
 
Moss Side's Finest said:
Disagree on the "we don't have an injury list that is spectacular if you rule out Rodri". We've had most of our key players either out or playing but not 100% for much of the past 2 or 3 months. Not many teams, if any, could deal with that

And it's especially damaging in a Guardiola system. Shouldn't forget that.

I just checked the start of last season on the Bluemoon history page
Stones didn't make the bench until the 13th game of the season, then made a sub appearance, then a start, a game where he was subbed off, then didn't make the bench for another three games
I stopped looking then as I haven't time this morning. But if you want I'll research just last season

That sounds realistic. Proof transfermkt is shit.
 
Morning all.
Have you got it yet? Liverpool running away with the title is good for football yet when City do it the Narrative changes to the league not being competative.
Has anyone seen any media outlet print or speak about this years farmers league? Of course we haven't because the global dominance of the reds shills must not be upset. Do you see how the media in all forms influence feeling? Not just in sport but in all things, politics, economics and relating back to us, the 115. Remember the platforms these so called experts are given to spout their hatred towards us. Sky, BBC, X etc etc.
The agenda against our club is clear and targetted and was identified by Khaldoon a long time ago. The fact we are struggling on the field just makes the pyrhanas jobs more easy to poke the hornets nest of daily anti city rhetoric.
Remember fellow blues, this bad run wont last forever. We are the best run club in the land and our owner, chairman will put it right so Pep can go again.

Not sure want your point is……Walker has been fabulous for us but it’s obvious he is no longer the player he was previously.

Apart from Stones and Ake who over the last couple of seasons cannot be relied on to stay fit….Dias and Rodri are the only players that are missing that will significantly improve the team.

It’s the drop in performances from a huge number of regulars that is impacting the results.
