If you believe that they are just trolls then take a look at JC's Sunday Supplement clips. Precisely, take a look at the one where they are foaming at the mouth stating that we are morally bankrupt etc. These are the very same people who write the shit about us. They are not trolls, they just f*cking hate us.pardoe said:moomba said:We should be able to mention it when the media treats us unfairly. It doesn't mean we've lost our sense of humour or anything.
But I think the media should treat all clubs equally, and when they don't we should highlight it.
I agree with that, and as it happens i do think the media are a bit harsh on us (but only a bit, there's no conspiracy or they're not all out to get us), but given we've become successful quickly, and bearing in mind how we did it, i think we have to expect that sort of thing and have thicker skins.
I view the sports press in this country as trolls, almost to a man. It's unfortunate that's the case, but almost the entire tabloid press, radio media and the loudest voices on television are no better than your average TalkSport journalist; their aim is the same, to ween stories out of whatever they can and wind people up. Don't let them.

Seriously, the missing woman/ watching the game in Turkey/ Rascals verdict threads alone made my day yesterday. The only downer was when the battery gave up in my phone and I had to speak to real people.
The cellar is funnier than being in a pub with Scum going on about City being shit and armchair blues telling you you've wasted your money to going to Amsterdam. I may start having one night out a week in the Cellar.

Aye! Don't direct the mentals downstairs to us.
