You need to get a job as copy writer for the Sun mate
How anyone can twist what Guidetti says there into your conclusion is lost on a football forum[/QUOTE]

Cheers!! Send us an aplication form will ya..

Might i suggest you watch MP's first day at the club on City TV and what he thought about JG..
Then let go?

So someone disagrees with your point of view so they are a Troll?
Let's concentrate on what I said in my post if we could?
Our recent track record regarding involving and playing youth players is lamentable. If you disagree with that
then that is no point attempting to discuss the matter any further.

Because what has our youth policy against United's got to do with the agenda. The majority of your
posts just denegrates everything the club does. That's if you've not got a bee in your bonnet, about
how shit our manager is.

I tried to take you to Malaga, you know, I will wait for you.

Something along those lines wasn't it, Guidetti was on an exercise bike if i recall correctly?

I'm not ignoring anything. I was there when we were shit. But I'm talking about recent times. Unless we play them and give them
The opportunity then how do they ever break through? We got knocked out of both cup competitions to lower league / less talented teams (Newcastle played a few youth team players when they beat us) so why not give them a chance in Capitol Cup games or like the game which was the last game of the season? We just don't appear to give them game time even when we can.

Were you though? Why don't you explain your user name to us? Help the doubting Thomases believe you're not the rag you seem to be......

Something interesting I've found is that too a much lesser degree than ourselves, even other fans have mentioned to me small things they've picked up, a recurring theme being that martin tyler really dislikes us.

I'm genuinely staggered if some people actually believe that the reason James Milner signed for Liverpool is because of an agenda against our club. If that's the case then the battle is lost; the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

There is clearly an agenda with FFP, which is the issue that should be addressed. It is institutional corruption within UEFA. As we've seen with FIFA, this should not be tolerated.

We undoubtedly get a bad press too, which is fucked but similar to Khaldoon said with FFP, a short term pinch we have to take. Chelsea were hammered a few years ago, but are accepted now. The football press, particularly in this day and age of online ad revenue, aren't motivated by fairness and balanced coverage. They pander to the masses, which means positive stories about "established" clubs generate more money.

It's not an agenda against City as such, it's about selling papers/getting clicks. It stinks, but when has anyone expected integrity in the media? It's always been about money and pandering to the masses.

Tell that to William Randolph Hurst.

Hearst, if you don't mind. Kings isn't what it used to be.

If the media have an agenda against us, how come Giggs and Terry, arguably the embodiments of both United and Chelsea respectively, have their shady affairs sensationally exposed by the press, yet our captain can allegedly do whatever he wants with Nasri's girlfriend and a number of other tarts and there isn't a hint in the Sunday tabloids?

Or is it the FA, who once gave Rooney a 6 game ban in the title run in for swearing at a camera celebrating a goal, Rio Ferdinand an 8 month ban for taking a drugs test a few hours late (which came back negative) while allowing one of our players off with a small fine for the exact same offence around that time, and penalised John Terry for racism despite a court of law previously clearing him of the allegation, favouring United and Chelsea? Yaya Toure got away with clearly kicking out at a Norwich player last season, but acknowledging that wouldn't support the paranoia-driven conspiracy theory, would it?

Giggs and Terry made the mistake of going to court, to stop the stories. That's a like a red rag to a bull for the hacks. As for Yaya's kicking out,
yeah he got away with it. How many times had Rooney got away with stuff like that and don't get my started on A&E.
You cannot deny that most of the written press and some of the tv media always portray us in the negative.
Using the odd couple of high profile press stories as someway to demean our argument, holds no water with me.

I like this thread because it keeps me up to date with City matters.
Thanks for the research that our avid readers, viewers and listeners do, frankly I would not have the patience (or the frustration) to dissect media that I disagree with.
