Media bias against City

[The First Earl]

The only thing that gets me in the slightest bit miffed is the refusal of many of your own to see that there is an agenda against City. Ah well, each to their own I suppose.

its clear as night follows day.
some still can,t see it.

Completely agree.

What I cannot get my head around is the players award for player of the season, how can Sergio not even get a mention when he's terrorised defences all season and it by far the best striker in the league ( if not the world).

I cannot believe that players have an agenda, so why ignore Sergio, is it pure jealously?

I think most see it but they may give different meaning as to exactly what people mean by "agenda" with us.
There is definately bias towards other top clubs compared to us. I just want to smile in a few years when it makes financial sense to apeal to city fans across the world. The dynamics will change when a few more reporters are hired with at least a soft spot for us so we get favourable coverage.
Yeah it will never happen i know but that is what needs to happen.

The current lot are lazy, biased towards the london clubs and rags and dippers and uninteresting to read.
I gave up with the media a while ago and the glimpses i get reenforce my choice.

It's all down to the haircuts.

Shit haircut = no awards

I thought you had to assault somebody to get the award?

There's no denying it, the constant barrage of negativity aimed at City since our takeover, from the likes of Talksport has, like a lie, that's been repeated ad nauseum, become fact for most people, they cannot see what is there for all to see, staring them in the face, 2 thrilling Premier league titles, probably the best ever finish to any title winning season, with the AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO moment, and then last season where we were banging them in for fun, admittedly, we turned up late to the Liverpool Love in and the Alan Hansen "when Gerrard lifts the trophy" award ceremony, pissed in the punch bowl, punched the vicar and then ran off with the trophy!
So we will get nil points from Liverpool, London, and the Red half of Manchester, and seeing as the bulk of the press is London based, and it's the press who give us a hard time, is it any surprise we get so very little credit?, from Talksport, to The Sunday Suppliment, and Jamie Jackson in the Guardian, the insidious nature of the agenda is such, that it is now not an agenda in the classic sense anymore, it has now seeped into the subconscious of every fan, like hating Monday's, shit weak beer at Wembley, and rain on a Bank Holiday, ....... And that is.....
A) We bought the titles B) We ruined Football C) all our players are mercenaries d) we never fill our stadium.
These 4 things are repeated so much, that people now just regurgitate it as fact,
Pathetic

The players see MotD, SSN, biased print media etc and hear and read the same biased output as we do. All the cooing over Hazard, Coutinho and Costa has got to make an impression on them when it's time to vote.

It's essentially part of a two pronged assault on us.
With the prospective weakening of FFP and the real possibility that we are going to be major beneficiaries , the first leg of the attack , the one on the pitch, looks increasingly like ending (unexpectedly ,for most outside of us) in our favour.
The fear has to be now , that the second leg - the one off the pitch- will be strengthened , with waves of misinformation , smear and innuendo, aimed at discouraging support and belittling the club's achievements.
We are between a rock and a hard place on this . Every business recognises the importance of good PR and to attain a level of respect and admiration (or even just acceptance) it becomes -unhappily - vital to cultivate good relations with the media, and as we can see only too clearly , the reptiles are not in any great hurry to cosy up to us, but at the same time legal threats are only going to alienate them further.
I think the sheik may have to increase his media portfolio!

Just listening to Pellegrini interview on OS. Who's that twat banging on about Scott Sinclair.
"Is Scott Sinclair going to show his true ability now he's going to get game time".
Who gives a shit, he's not our player anymore and how does he know he will play
for Villa regularly.
