Well we could all pull two very different articles from completely different places that you could put an argument forward for.
The important thing is anyone with any nouse about them who are supporters of any club will know what the score is. They'd see what you've seen. Not many people in this world would read something and think "ah yes, that ridiculous article's viewpoint has fooled my pathetically unintelligent brain and I know believe exactly what it says!"
Why do people feel the need to read what the media says anyway? Is is because you need telling how to think/feel? Is it because you need to know ONE (as they are generally written by one person) person's view of something? Is it because the OS and the many forums we have as well as other types of media don't provide you with more than enough information than you could ever need aren't enough for you?
Why do people feel that the media owe it to us to blow smoke up our arse? Why does it bother you that they do blow smoke up other club's arses? You've seen through it and so will anyone with half a brain cell!
Do you know what the French media say about Paris? Do you know what the Spanish media say about Barça or the Catalan media say about Madrid? Do you know what the US media says about the New Orleans Pelicans or even about Manchester City for that matter? And do you care about anything that's said by any of them? Does any if it make you think/feel any differently towards Paris Barça Madrid the Pelicans or City?
Looking at the amount of sponsorship we've attracted in the last few years, judging by the fact that even early rounds of domestic cup games are sold out, going off the amount of annoying day tripping tourists there are at our games these days, seeing that the only direction this club is going in is UP! I don't think it matters a fucking jot what any media says about us. It's doesn't matter. It doesn't effect us. We just keep growing and growing. And only the stupid - who we shouldn't worry about - are fooled by the toilet media.
There is so much decent media out there, we should never have to expose even a second of our lives to the shit stuff.

I've said the exact same thing. If there is an 'agenda', it's probably the worst-ran agenda in history.KippaxCitizen said:Well we could all pull two very different articles from completely different places that you could put an argument forward for.

City convincingly beat Arsenal last time we played them. Bayern convincingly beat Barca last time they played them.
Before the games the media had completely written off Arsenal's chances against Bayern. Barca were slight favourites against City but most of the press were expecting a close game.
Arsenal's defeat scrapes into the " brave performance by plucky underdogs" category. City's defeat doesn't. We were disappointing.

You need to find opposing views from the same source to prove your point. Sure there'll be one somewhere.
Personally think City have a better chance overturning their game than Arsenal based purely on the teams' recent scoring records, but some will point to Arsenal's CL experience and may see it the other way.
Have a look at the BBC's chief sportswriter Phil ;twat; McNulty's match reports and opinion pieces on both games.

This is a good point.BluessinceHydeRoad said:The obvious point about the press is that it relies on reporters to fill it. The sports pages are filled by reporters NOT even necessarily by reporters who are particularly interested in football. Their career is journalism, they live in a world of words, of clever headlines and striking phrases. To keep their jobs they have to attract readers and writing studious, well balanced and objective articles isn't the best way of doing this.
Plus I think journalism is dead. Social media has overtaken journalism ten fold. These random blokes who are employed my media outlets are no more important than some random blogger on sites like Twitter, or decent posters on club forums or official websites. I don't read any newspapers anymore, I only read articles by journalists if I see threads on the number of forums I'm a member of it I am a casual reader of if it says "Great Article on...". I go and read Chelsea Arsenal United Liverpool and Newcastle forums on a regular basis as well as a rugby league one and a music one. They provide me with FAR more information than any newspaper or television company could ever provide me.
Im sorry but i completely disagree. Yes, there may be a slight bias towards City but thats because WERE talking about it, city fans. If you ask any other fan whether they think the media is bias against them theyll say yes, today being the perfect example, my Arsenal friend said they werent dominated by Bayern and for many parts of the game were dominating, but according to them the press just says they were 'destroyed and dominated by a ruthless Bayern side'.
Completely down to perspective. Remember when we beat United 4-1? or Arse 6-3? The praise seeped from everywhere, it was quite amazing, never seen anything like it.

Match report? everything that **** writes is an opinion piece and he makes me want freedom of speech repealed.stonerblue said:willy eckerslike said:All depends where you look, Ian Cheeseman tweeted a very pro-City article last night.

especially as it doesn't compare like with like anyway. To contrast the reactions, they should at least both be from the same publication.Skashion said:This doesn't prove anything.
