Media bias against City

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Again, out of the last 14 manager of the year awards, 11 have been won by the winning manager. Out of the 3 times it hasn't both Bob and Pellergrini missed out.

Shameful.

Are you surprised, though?

Definitely not but at the same time, it doesn't mean we should accept and keep quiet about it mate.

Stick Kun in the Rags side and he would have cleaned up every year of late and any rag manager to win the league, never mind a league and cup double would be a shoe in, as was Mourinho and rightly so yet its us and its completely ignored.

Its shameful.

I'm sure frank will be along shortly to provide an explanation.

Non-sequitur means quite literally "it does not follow" so, no, I'm not saying it was a fallacy, just that bore no meaningful relationship to the point blueinsa was advancing.

Of course I'm not completely happy with our overall performance this season, although finishing second should never be described as a disappointment, but once again that is a non-sequitur.

That Pellegrini did not win MOTY last season, whilst not surprising, was still completely unjust, and brought into sharper relief by Mourinho winning it this year for achieving the same outcome.

Of course we are not surprised.

Nothing can be done (by the media or the Awards) about a factual achievement (like winning the PL by results) but considering that the establishment tried its best to stop our progress (via FFP) and fed a receptive media with skewed opinion did we really expect that our achievements would be recognised with opinion based Awards ?

Hi Gordon,

Sorry about the delay but I have been researching your comment and think it means a fallacy ?
If so apologies for misunderstanding the post I replied to.

Incidentally, bearing in mind that this was hardly a vintage year for ALL teams in PL are you happy with the way City have to my mind been disappointing this year ?

As a Chelsea season ticket holder I will of course be there on Sunday applauding every award be it from UEFA under 19 to the PL trophy and and of course jMs award from anger (edit :now thats a Freudian slip) manager of the season but I agree100% with the shameful comment with regard to last seasons award.

It's clear that the press have huge agendas regarding certain clubs, some deserved an awful lot isn't but it seems to me that the fact that there are only three senior domestic trophies that any team in their respective leagues can win should at any time a manager deliver two of them them personalities shouldn't come into it and the award granted by default.

There are plenty of occasions when threes separate clubs win the trophies so that's the time when a wider view could and probably should be taken but as I say not when a club, whoever they are delivers two of the three.

Agree completely and congratulations to Chelsea on a deserved league title and to Mourinho on his deserved award.

Well said mate. Both fully deserved.

I'll echo those comments as well.

I think Chelsea fans understand exactly where we're coming from having "walked in our shoes."

In 23 years the official PL Manager of the Year award has been given to the title winning manager in all but 4 years. The last 2 of them when City won the title. Mancini lost out to Pardew and Pellegrini lost out to Pulis. Anyone want to bet Pearson or Monk will win the award rather than Mourinho this season? Of course not. Oh, and only 2 non-British managers have won the award too.

 

[Blue Mist]

Pmsl at Mourinho and Hazard picking up the awards last night.

Our lot must wonder what they have to do!

Well the first thing they can do is perform to the best of their ability for the whole season.

Whatever the reason for the hiccup we have been inconsistent as a team losing to teams with more ability is one thing but losing valuable points to say Burnley (-3) is not something to vote for even if it may not be the Manager or Kun A. that was at fault..

We are on about last season. The goals we scored and broke records ? Yaya alone scored more goals than any other midfielder. We won 2 trophies including the Premier League, Hart won Golden Gloves and yet we were ignored.

Oh and don't forget Mancini was ignored as well.

 

[bluemc1]

let me know if I'm wrong

last season PL top GS Suarez wins player of the year
year before PL top GS Van Persie wins player of the year
year before PL top GS Van Persie wins player of the year
year before PL top GS Tevez also captains side to first trophy in 34 years, Scott Parker wins player of the year (west ham got relegated)

this year PL top GS Aquero…..not even on the shortlist
