Media bias against City

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Anyone seen the BBC Sport webpage? The link to the summer transfers and news page has a photo of Robinho in a City shirt. FFS!

How many City fans are MPs? The BBC will be brickin' it at the moment with all this Royal Charter up for renewal crap, so they might be greasing a few arses, let alone a few palms!

Rodgers mocks city for playing Milner out of position
.

“He played right-back, wide on the left and right, as a striker and as a midfielder.

“You want players like that in your squad but as a player you want to play in your favoured position.

“Probably best season he ever had was at Aston Villa playing as a centre midfield player.

Hate to defend that shiny toothed ****, but there doesn't seem to be too much mocking going on there.

I think the implication is there GDM

The words "bitter ****" springs to mind when one thinks of Micky Quinn.

Biggest tosser on the radio, first class wanker., a month ago he said , " ive heard from a very good contact that Aguero will be gone " when we bought silva, " I think he is to small for the prem. How he gets money for talking bollocks is a joke.

So,anybody still have doubts about the agenda?

Agenda is probably not the right word or whats actually happening ......if everyone asked their opinion are Rags / Dippers etc there's hardly likely to be alot of praise, and when topics affect 'these peoples clubs' like Sterling they are going to defend them.
If the main presenters on Sky / BT / Talkshite were Mike Summerbee / Kevin Horlock / Andy Morrison / Mike Doyle / Noel Gallagher (could you imagine Damocles hosting talkshite breakfast!!!) etc it would be exactly the same the other way round.
I understand how people get worked up...but personally i find it fucking hilarious listening to the ex pros close to crying....i have talkshite on in the car all the time just for the comedy

As Brenda slamming City, I can't wait for the first injury crisis to hit his team and he asks Milner to fill in out wide but I doubt he will be picked up on it in the press.

Wasnt Stirling pissed because Brenda had him playing rb, upfront etc?? Pot kettle, black???

I think almost everyone is in broad agreement that there is a media bias against City; it's the subjective term "agenda" that some take issue with.

I think it would solve some of the arguments, and be more accurate, if we just renamed this thread "Media bias against City" and carried on from there.

Disagree, if there's a semantic issue then agenda or agendas is fine as people can have personal agendas; conspiracy I would argue is the contentious point. FFP is a clear conspiracy.

I suppose the term "The Agenda" is the contentious issue here, as it is all encompassing.

Agreed "the" is the problem. Agendas, agendas everywhere would be a better title....

If you really believed that you would have renamed the thread by now.

To be honest, the only thing that's stopped me from doing it so far is that some people would probably point to the renaming of the thread as evidence that an agenda does indeed exist.

Fuck them. Rename the thread.

Excellent post! It's great beng the strong silent type but every now and again we do need to step up to the plate and defend ourselves.

Totally agree... the rag/redtops are puppets of the plastic hoards and te rag/red PR machine (just take a look at the way Red dippers manipulated the story of Rahim's wanting a move, for example)

... we need to seriously challenge this negative propganda with as much vigour as needed...


not only has this recent hogwash convinced the average footy punter that we are 'the baddies'... FFS, I have even met some City fans who have bought the shyte as well

Time for the club to step up a gear BIG TIME..

 

[Blue warrior]

Fuck them all lads/lasses the media rival fans let's stick together support the club has we always have done and keep ramming it down their throats by being successful :-)

Rename it. Would stop the petty arguments over the terms.

Totally agree that the term "agenda" is a misnomer.

I don't believe there are groups of reporters huddled round working out how they can all write negative articles about a specific club. However what I do believe is that by writing sensationalist headlines, either in the traditional print media or any online publisher, they do it to generate sales, readership, clicks etc. Is it about a specific club. No I don't believe so.

To make a daft comparison. We, as a Country, spent billions chucking missiles at Afghanistan, then spent the next years trying to win their hearts and minds. Kind of feels the same to me. Yeah, our very benevolent owners threw money at us but it is still taking time for the media to get over the shock and awe and understand the new hierarchy.
