What because his fuckin opinion differs from yours.

That and the club he supports!

this seems fairly reasonable...

Pep Guardiola embroiled in huge row with Manchester City chiefs over China plans

PEP GUARDIOLA is on a collision course with Etihad bosses over the club’s plans to travel to China next summer.

Pep Guardiola has spent over £200m this summer already

Guardiola has been told he will be taking his Manchester City squad to the Far East for their pre-season tour – but he does not like China and would prefer to return to America instead.
He was left unhappy 12 months ago when City endured a miserable tour of China that reached a new low when their game with Manchester United in Beijing was called off due to problems with the pitch.
City blamed United for not doing enough to improve the playing surface and Guardiola was also unhappy with the facilities in general and humid conditions.

What a crock of shit, yes we will probably go to china next time, but Pep embroiled in huge row - lol. Fake news once more from certain quarters of the media

Whats that got to do with this supposed story?

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

The reporting on Moyes before Christmas that season was obsequious to the point of utter parody: "cut from the same cloth". It was only when the club staring briefing against Moyes did the tone of the media change towards him; and fuck me, didn't it change quickly?

Exactly. When Moyes was first appointed the fawning was almost Olympian in its scope. We had puff pieces on Moyes the 'ambassador' sat behind a large mahogany desk in his club crested blazer, Moyes the master tactician pointing and waving in his technical box, Moyes the deep thinker in front of a blackboard, Moyes the hands on coach in his tracksuit, Moyes the natural successor, smiling away with Taggart, it was non-stop. My favourite of all though, and a perfect example of what we're talking about here, was during one of many periods when emphasising City's wealth and vulgarity for the benefit of 654 million armchair rags was top of the Mail's tree, and it took to sending reporters along to Manchester Airport to try and zoom lens the luggage of City players travelling off to European games. It struck gold with Jesus Navas, who had his case open at check-in searching for his passport, and gleefully itemised the cost of everything therein in a "look how wealthy and out of touch these people are" special. Aware that it had perhaps overstepped the mark with this in terms of both invasion of privacy and specific targeting of City, it then ran an ostensibly identical tale a week later, only this time the focus was on the rags and the open suitcase belonged to Moyes. Surprise, surprise, the only item visible was a strategically placed copy of Taggart's autobiography, with the sneering tone replaced with a nauseating "master and apprentice" narrative! Cockroaches.

Sly Sports News this Morning.

Full report on Matic to United. Jose being interviewed. Clips of him playing. Etc. Fair enough, the transfer is nearly done.

Then on to Sanchez.

Due back in training. Clips of him and Wenger together. Then, 'Sky Sports understand PSG are to make an offer for Sanchez in the region of £35mill'.(not the exact wording)

Jrb waits for City to be mentioned next.

Waits.......

Waits......

Next report. Ah?!

So there you have it.

Either Sly Sports News are the only Sports related media company who don't know City and Sanchez are linked. That City is Sanchez's prefered club/destination. Etc. Or Sly Sports are purposley ingnoring the City/Sanchez link because....? (as not to anger Arsenal or for another reason?) Feel free, anyone.

So can those of you who think their is no bias or agenda against City, please explain why City weren't mentioned in that Sanchez Sky Sports News report, but only PSG were?

Because the City link isn't news - it has existed but not really changed all summer (no bids, no declaration of intent, no transfer request, etc.). The PSG bid reports are news.

i know its his job and he has to read the autocue but mike wedderburn must be struggling not to mention us in relation to sanchez and his possible suitors, its such a blatant omission its embarrasing

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Welcome to the Thunderdome.

If you consider evidence of backing the club to the hilt, is by writing on a forum there is a media agenda you have a strange view of the world imo.

It's a forum

It's a CITY forum

That CITY fans wish to have the opportunity to discuss with other CITY fans what they consider to be bias against their club because, as homerdog observes:

"...most of us will defend our club to the hilt, because we are so passionate about them...."

should not be a surprise to anyone

That you are on a non-stop campaign to deny these CITY fans from discussing with other CITY fans something that they are passionate about clearly, IMO, speaks volumes about your view of the world.

Just what sense of satisfaction do you actually achieve from stopping CITY fans conversing with other CITY fans about a subject they are passionate about on a thread specifically created to enable that conversation on the main CITY forum?

IMO, you are simply a thread vandal that behaves in a supercilious manner, seemingly to feed his own selfish needs which he places above the interests of others.

SSN then show summer transfers so far....Lukaku to rags and show a clip of him scoring.....of all the goal they could have showed low and behold it's against us!
Wedderburn is powerless against the rags backstage! Just saying!
