Could you imagine us getting the same sympathetic coverage?

We’ve got 2 more games for certain…… like every other team.

 

[Briggs1969]

Christ looking at these "headlines" they do hate us don't they? We were great when we just used to win the derby now and again.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

BBC headlines this morning:

Man City avoid CL humiliation
Liverpool close to perfection

One of those teams won last night and one of them lost…

 

[blue b4 the moon]

NW local news, same line used on all 3 bulletins.

Campaign could have gone up in flames like the merchandise shop....scrapped into the playoffs .

 

[Groke]

Think it's safe to say David Hytner isn't a fan. Match report was rather vindictive compared to those who reported on others this evening.

Good grief.

He's a bitter utd fan - unprofessional, unobjective bellend

The Torygraph despise us, which is particularly odd given how enthralled they usually are by wealth.

Having green doesn't make up for being brown

I have to say, the negative cover from the media is just going to make us stronger and more determined to succeed.
I cannot recall any English team being treated this way….i mean if you really want to see failure just look up the road ffs.
In debt to the tune of £700m, underperforming, stadium falling down, no investment from owners, dreadful transfer policy, disengaged players and barely mid table.
THAT’S WHAT A FAILING TEAM LOOKS LIKE YOU CUNTS!

Saw that. Just petty. It's like the narrative was already set for their articles before ko. Fuck em

5 live this morning.... Liverpool, arsenal, villa all through to last 16, celtic in play offs along with City who avoid humiliation.

I think they [The BBC] are upset that City qualified for the next bit.....

 

[madloaf]

It would seem that us beating this Brugge team (undefeated in 20 games) is the worst 3-1 win of all time.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Morning all.
Ignore the noise. DON'T LET IT WIND YOU UP
Tough games either way from now on .

They only talk of us because they fear us.

Of course the BBC are hurting.
Their "underdog" team, the local Trafford Tramps, are not getting the success on the pitch and no longer getting charismatic or admired characters off it "-

Ask a young 'un who is the best striker in the Premier League, it will be Big Erl.

Who may be the daftest but is one of the most popular players for England, it is Jack.

The first Ballon d'Or winner in the Premier League for ages is Rodri.

If only Mason Mount can stay fit and Anthony replicates his Ajax form, all will come good ?

 

[Damocles]

Think you're looking at it the wrong way.

It's a testament to how they perceive us that "only" qualifying for the playoffs is seen as a massive embarrassment and a disaster.

I say this over and over and I will keep saying it over and over as I am convinced that this is the only logical conclusion to their actions. They do not hate us, they fear us. Not in the way you fear a spider, in the way you fear a Lovecraftian cosmic horror. The same way you might fear a planet eating galactic being.

When it wins, it is normal. When it doesn't do its full damage then it's a cause for celebration. When it loses, you throw a parade and congratulate each other on your bravery. They've already accepted the end of the world so anything better than that is up.

Well said, and agreed.

Worst 3:1 home win for a few days at least ;)

Just watched BBC CL Show - the first words in the opening sequence we hear are.......CODY GAKPO!!!! and the last ones "City are up against it"
The closing punditry remarks from ex-dipper Warnock - " Liverpool have done it perfectly - City have only themselves to blame..." and their final highlights sequence opens with Bruge's coach roaring triumphantly after defeat by us...



Utter rag/dipper infested scum.
