Media bias against City

[gordondaviesmoustache]

He says he likes to take me to that one, as its further away it feels like more of a treat, as I am more special to him you see. I've heard he is known to go all the way to Leeds with @TCIB though :-(

I bet he takes you to that nearby Toby Carvery beforehand as well to try and make you feel even more special. He's nothing if not predictable.

Stoned fucker is probably under about 3 feet of water by now, but he won't have noticed.

Dont tell me he's flooded, any fucking excuse for him to go on one of his hotel tours and come on here every night like some sort of balding ginger Judith Charmers doing a hotel review, before going on to tell us what cocktail he is drinking

 

[manimanc]

Aww cheers, mucker. Even I think I'm a twat though, so keep on calling me out should it be needed.

It's all the fun of the fair mate. It wouldn't be bluemoon if we was nice to eachother. Beings twats is miles more fun.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

The key is frequency AND furiosity. One without the other is like TT without the Family Man.

Bacon without eggs, theres just no point without the necessary effort

And that just about sums it all up quite perfectly. Leave Stony and GDM to their tiff. Jameson's done in, Glenn's vodka (yuck) getting a bashing and I just want to wish each and every blue of differing opinions a very merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine. We will do the media over come May.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

I suppose a lot of the bias comes from the reporters supporting clubs other than City. I don't think they know how to handle it. Pre 2008 it was the Chelski, Utd, Arse & Liverpool love in every season for 20 years. There was a Spurs or Everton (in the top 4) thrown in once a decade to give everyone else hope but it really was the 'Animal Farm' of football led by Sir Taggart the loudest & boldest of the pigs brigade. We get the odd article nowadays that is both intelligent and impartial but it was an old boys club that City broke up and football is far better for it.

Raise a glass to that mate.

Don't upset yourself. We want Giggs installed. That would be the best outcome.
The more positives he gets, the better.

Be careful with that Glenn's Vodka mate, it's the most frequently counterfeited spirit in the land. Don't blame me if it makes you go blind.

How so? City kicking Liverpool out of the top four is change yes, but I see no "football is far better for it" effect. All that's changed is we're one of the old boys now, if not yet respected and loved by others at the top table. This season Chelsea imploding leaves another spot open in the top four and Utd slipping down the league might well result in another slot opening up, but their demise is not directly linked to our rise. Leicester winning the league, now that would be seismic, but the rise of City as a positive change for the league? I can't see it.

We kid ourselves if we think we've changed football for the better, we've done nothing of the sort, we've just changed our football for the better. Maybe the other clubs might have to invest more in their football infrastructure, academies and so on to keep up with us, but apart from that we've not shaken up much in the Premier League beyond going from everyone's second favourite team to being one of the most hated and for that you can blame the media.

Yes mate, agreed!! But was just having a general hateful pop at the degenerates. I just hate em basically. In fact, I set my alarm clock half n hour earlier every day,just so I can hate them for longer!!

Now worries, i understand. Just as long as you are onboard with the "Giggs for next manager",
as it looks like Save Our Turtle/Louis has hit deep doo doo ;-)

I think the evidence of this season demonstrates you're wrong. I believe we prevented the established big 4 ossifying ad infinitum.

Yes. Someone had to do it & it was only possible if someone with very very deep pockets came in. Hopefully the media will change in time too.

Bitter bastard journos on Talkshite.

Ashton et al dismissing pep joining city. For balance they are also up Bryan Riggs Arse talking about TT being sacked asap.

Fuck me, ossifying bit much for this time of night

Only a half hour earlier ! You should like me make it 3 hours earlier to get in a good hate filled day,as a matter of fact i am going to stay up the full 24 hours a day from now on to hate the bastards more,sleep is over rated anyway

Keep away from the "really nice woman" thread would be my advice.

Premier league prize money eclipsing CL money is the reason things have changed in the league, Stoke(and other mid table clubs) are competing with the Milan clubs for players and taking Barca fringe players.
