It's a shame he never took Finance 101, which teaches you the difference between debt and equity. Equity is ownership. Debt is you beholden to someone else who can cut off your balls.

The other thing they seem unable to get through their thick skulls is that there is no difference in principle between Adidas giving them £750m in order to further their own objectives, and Sheikh Mansour giving us £750m to further his.

The Adidas money is no more "theirs" than the Sheikh's money is ours.
 
A famous coach once said, "win and they stop making fun of you." You will never fully get rid of the bias, but....
If we win the Champion's League that would definately help!

The Daily Mail is one of, if not the worst paper for City at the moment.

Their handling of the De Bruyne transfer has been terrible.

How we turned around the snub (today):

The rags signings turned up on horse & cart of course.

Man City are ahead of the game just three years on from their first Premier League title... they have become Manchester's better-run club

Why Da Fu-k is any City success so inextricably linked with United failure, this year? If they are run like sh-t and their manager alienates players, that's completely on them.... find another story angle.
 
I thought the commentator on the Belgium match last night was great at highlighting KDBs input into the game and ignoring his mistakes. Made a refreshing change. He referenced City throughout and bigged up the signing...

No irony intended but after reading the many posts going backwards and forwards about the agenda / bias to actually read a piece from a journalist about the agenda, I thought that after finding it on RAWK I would share it. Not proof but can any come up a decent rebuttal?

read the last line again.
 
Just to sum up the state of the so called expert media in this country, Merson had us as B- just the other day for our transfer business yet today has us winning the league because and i quote, "we have bought well".

They literally do make it up as they go along, all of them.

That's because he has finally sobered up enough after the Bank Holiday weekend to read the papers and realise who is top of the league.

Of course they do.
The old adage that ''a newspaper should never let the truth get in the way of a good story'' still applies whatever the form of media.

Where football is concerned the pundits have bias that they apply when strictly opinion is available (eg pre season) then they adjust this when actual results happen to contradict their previous opinion. They then revert to type if anything adverse happens to even hint at the chance to put the boot in.

However, the trick is to have hidden somewhere in previous articles an array of opinion that can be used to show that they predicted events whatever happens. Some of them even contradict themselves in the same article just in case.

Haha
That's got to be the only article in existence where Sterling's fee is quoted without add ons and Martial's fee includes them!

Methinks that said Mr Ashton has seen the light and put his Arse licking head on. I think more and more of these cretins wil slowly see the light and treat us with the respect we deserve. I dont want wall to wall bowing down to City , just to be reported fairly.

Because success is relative perhaps? Others must fail for us to succeed, and United are the biggest success story from the last generation.

We've succeeded in acquiring the most sought after players, ergo everyone else has failed to do the same, in particular United who were seemingly in for everyone and anyone.
 
Danny Kelly this morning on Talkshite said with how much the Rags have paid for Martial that the fee we paid for Sterling could be classed as a bargain.
