So Phil Foden provides an assist in his 20 mins cameo yet receives no credit and Rashfart receives credit for producing absolutely zilch in his 80mins. Balanced reporting at its best.

Daily Fail (who else) spinning a suitably ludicrous tale this evening about Moonbeam having been left with concussion after a blow on the back of her head from Erling Haaland before the Southampton game. Contract later not renewed, so she’s now practicing her best compo face apparently. Fuck off.

The real Moonbeam quit the job years ago ;-) these replacement ones come.and go, another story from the scumbags in the Sun the daily hail have just reposted.

like how it eventually get to the facts that the hospital, club and police all agreed Haalaad didn't cause her injury, after it has already made conteadicary openong paragraghs, the dicks

She’s clearly just another one looking for cash. Some people have no shame.

The fact that any player getting slagged after England winning both games just shows the state of our media.

The truth hurts
Phil's drop off is there for everyone to see.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

 

[eastmanc]

Just like I'd expect fans of every other club to want the team playing the rags, or scousers or tarquins to win.

We don't see so many of those articles for some reason.

And yet we are told that we're not a big club. Strange that.

It doesn't matter where you live the process is the same. The owner has an agenda, Owner hires Editor and management team to fulfil their agenda.Journalists are hired to fulfill the agenda that said Editor dictates. Journalists then do their job which is to write something the Owner will be happy with and keep their job.
I thought everyone knows how it works, unless it is thought to be different in the
States.
Newspapers are ideological and political vessels.
I grew up in a prefab in Blackley, my dad cut newspapers up so we had something to wipe our arses with, at least they had some useful function back in the day.
City cannot ban the shitty press from the Stadium, the Press would love it, have a field day and our coverage would be even worse than it is now.
After your experiences would uou agree ?

My experience was a loss of trust in the journalist. At some point, one has to expect principles to matter. I put that on her, not the paper, which I still read, btw.

Exactly

Maybe but he’s not the only England player playing crap at the moment. Bellingham doesn’t help the team & several others are under par.
However, he’s the only one they mention on a daily basis

Bellingham is the golden boy though. I don't watch it but apparently on the overlap Carragher and Wright were laughing at Neville when he suggested that Foden was as good a player of Bellingham. A fully firing Foden has more ability in his little toe than their boy Jude.

Yup, there’s no story, no matter how trivial, that those bastards won’t twist into some anti-City clickbait bullshit. Vermin

I’ve seen Bellingham play against us at our place. He hides. Keeps the ball when he should pass & rolls around a lot when he loses the ball hoping for a foul.
Not saying he’s a bad player but he gets his own way as to where he plays. To the detriment of other players. At this level a player should be adaptable especially a midfielder

Yes, and Real Madrid are already finding that, he'll be ditched soon, then it'll be where did it all go wrong. Good player, terrible execution and attitude.

That's a decent set of headlines compared to what the fuckers print sometimes.

The state of the British press.

For a small unimportant club, we get a lot of headlines.
Didn’t get this many when we won the treble or 4 in a row :-)

Exactly.

The idiots in the media who are moaning about Foden not contributing much when being played out of position need to give their heads a wobble.

What they ought to be discussing is, is it worth losing Foden's contribution from a central position simply to accommodate Bellingham, who incidentally isn't even capable of contributing from pretty much the only position he can play in (and that's in a fucking free role with zero responsibilities anywhere on the pitch) let alone being played out of position.

But we know the score, if it's a player from a media friendly club, they get smoke blown up their arse, if it's a City player then they're the scapegoat.

An FA Cup quarter final weekend and it doesn't involve any of the cartel.

Media, "let's attack City then".

Boring, predictable, sad, obsessed, just take your pick
