ITV CL Highlights show....

No other English team would have to put up with this kind of crap. None.
I have always firmly rejected the idea of an agenda against MCFC but I must admit it is getting harder and harder when you see
the coverage from BT Sport. It is not even subtle. It is full on blatant, provocative agitiation against us.
The club should have some balls here and tell the management and players to stop doing interviews etc.
I know they are contractually bound to do so but why not send out Brian Kidd and one of the subs on the bench who hasn't even played to do them?
Something has to change. It can't go on like this.
 
Whilst I agree that we have received poor coverage from the media in this instance we didn't create a great deal on Tuesday night. Although we had some good situations normally these wouldn't be included in a highlight reel.
 
There's definitely an agenda against City but nothing much happened in the game the other night so not surprised about the highlights.

I'm with you on this. I know it shouldn't bother me but it has got to the stage where when something good or big happens to us, situations where you normally might want to switch on radio or TV to milk things a bit for 24 hours and extend the good feeling, all you get is brought down by the media negativity. I got to my car after the match on Tuesday, turned on 5live and it was a trailer so switched to Talksport and literally the first sentence I heard was Cundy saying, "you could hear a pin drop in the Etihad tonight". I just thought fuck this and put some music on. It would have been nice to have been confident about listening to some reasonable, balanced talk about the match but seems like most media outlets just aren't prepared to give us an even break these days. The worst thing is that I think our coverage had been fairly negative, broadly speaking, since the takeover but I assumed it would get better every year, especially once we started winning titles, after all that is pretty much the way it went for Chelsea but in the last two years I would say it has just got worse and worse and in the last 6 months in particular, has become relentlessly negative.

I agree, I thought that over time the negativity would ease off, but if anything it is worse now that at any time since the takeover. If you want to see something that makes the ITV coverage look like glowing praise then take a look at this....

I agree. I didn't expect much more to be honest. It was a game where highlights were hard to come by. I've made my views clear about the coverage we get on BT in that thread.
 
ITV and BT seemed locked in a battle to see who can 'out do' the other when it comes to both very poor presentation and utterly useless punditry. Both should be avoided I thinks it's only a matter of time until Ant and Dec front football on ITV while BT will probably go for Alicia Dixon and Philip Schofield. The only way to give both ITV and BT the message is not to watch their crap.
