Media bias against City

This was the first thought that entered my mind on reading it.
The blatant misrepresentation of City fans' motives notwithstanding, it is embarrassing that such sub-standard use of the language (he had from the leak on Wednesday to going to press yesterday to formulate the article) should be financially rewarded.
And compared to most, very well rewarded.
 
Here's Tim Rich in the Independent, writing about the new badge:


Would he use the term "plundered Russian state assets" to describe Chelsea? Or the phrase "swept away on a tide of Jewish debt" to describe the rags? Would he fuck.

The independent is getting out of hand now - this following hot on the heels of Mark Ogdens "10 reasons Pep should not go to man city now they've lost to arsenal"

Also, "avalanche of oil money", Arab or otherwise, is such an utterly wank metaphor.

Agreed, surely it would be more of a tidal wave?
 
On the Sunday supplement they said arsenal lost 4-0 at Southampton.
On the Sunday supplement they said we got humiliated 4-1 at Tottenham.
Just saying like.
I'm only annoyed that we DID get humiliated at Spurs. Arsenal lost heavily at Southampton, which was great for us but I couldn't give a fuck if some journos thought they were humiliated or not. It's also worth pointing out that they went on to rip into Arsenal for their repeated failure to follow up good wins like the one against us to establish themselves at the top of the table.
 
Haha, I didn't until you said "laird". How are you mate? I was wondering where you'd gone.
I'm extremely well, thanking you my friend. Had a brain tumor removed in Feb, had my first drink yesterday and here I am defending my outlandish views on here. Hope you and the family are very well, bud.

Fucking hell mate, I didn't even know you'd been ill. Glad you're ok and back posting.

Neither did I! Was a bolt out of the blue, but the kind of thing that makes you realise how much you have. Just glad people still get to call me a **** ha.
 
We did. Just saying.#Oh I get you now, you're upset that we got humiliated and someone else got beat. Do people keep tabs on the words used? Soft strikes again.
I see your point but I think you're being a bit too literal in your interpretation of what was ultimately posted a passing remark ("just saying").
It's not necessarily about the particular words chosen but yet another example of how they continue to frame the tone of their invective.

City are humiliated, Arsenal are caught out. City are torn apart, United are undone by mistakes. City's lazy mercenaries are hammered, Liverpool are let down by player's unworthy to wear the shirt...

It's hardly the smoking gun amid all of this 'great bias debate', admittedly but it is indicative of the media's portrayal of us versus their reporting on other's failures.

You're from Heywood mate, everyone from there is a ****.
