Media bias against City

Just pointed a clear bias in reporting to a Liverpool fan who I must admit is starting to realise the stuff made up to suit.

Dzeko is being sold for 15mill but could rise to 17mill with ad dons. So 15 mill sold
Roberts bought for 11 mill, actually 2 mill but potential add ones to 11mill
Sterling was 49mill, actually it was 44mill but ad dons to 49 mill

So a difference of 14 mill on our purchases being reported as we have spent 71mill this preseason.

At least he got it now.
 
Is it us or them? BBC polled around 30 of their pundits and commentators and thy have Chelsea as Champions. OK not too bothered with that seeing as they won o easily last season, but they have City 4th, behind Utd who are a mess. Conclusive proof of bias in my eyes. How can a team that has finished 1st,2nd,1st and then 2nd be rated that way particularly when City and Utd have gone in opposite directions over the Summer?
 
Chaps it's not going to stop whilst it's infested with rag and dipper sympathisers
Not out of the last 2 in the last 4 seasons says it's irrelevant and two of those seasons we had supposedly shockers!!!
Enjoy their hurt and pain, we are not going away, the transfer window hasn't even ended yet and we have already purchased possibly the best young player in Europe, someone who has has grabbed his England place with both hands and young lad who a lot of clubs were looking to snap up such is his potential

Good post GDM.

Earning a few bob via media statements may suit his current circumstances together with perhaps massaging his ego now that his career is in the distant past. The media have simply given him a script and asked him to speak the words he did because it suited their ''theme for the close season''. He complied and thinks it is now his starter for ten for a new career as a punter within the media.
As Ric informed us the media only wanted his views if they conformed to to the way that they skewed the subject matter.

The fact is, like the majority of ex City players, he has got City on his CV not in his heart. The late Mike Doyle is surely turning in his grave listening to the way ex City players are interviewed as representative of true City opinion.

I disagree with your first sentence, mate. There are plenty of ex-City players who hold the club in very high regard. It's just that they are not given air-time.

The ones that are, like James, know the score.
 
Dvaid James not being bias, but talking shite!(didn't want to start a new thread)

Some absolute crackers. Seriously, I don't understand how these so called 'expert's' can get it so wrong, and in the process pick up thousands of pounds in salaries in the process. The mind boggles.

I can't be arsed going over his highlight remarks again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I generally think Man City of the top four are the weak link," said BT Sport commentator James, who played 93 league games for City from 2004 to 2006.

"Man City, again, they have got all this talent, they have won the title twice [in 2011-12 and 2013-14] - or rather tripped over the line twice.

"Look at Chelsea last season. The title was won in November. If Arsenal had started better, I think Chelsea would have carried on longer just to win the league by 10, 15 points, whatever.

"I don't see the Man City model being right, just spending loads of money and acquiring players. It isn't necessarily the model of continued success. I have seen changes elsewhere and at the moment I am not seeing that at Man City. It is just spend a bit more and expect success."

James has predicted Liverpool, where he made his name during the 1990s, to replace City in the top four.

"I am not one of the owners but if you look at the whole business model there is a flaw somewhere and, at the moment, they might think it is at the coaching level," the 45-year-old added.

"I think this is the season of the coach. I think with the new coaches they have a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League at the expense of Man City."

Thanks for correction GDM, perhaps I typed in frustration rather than accuracy, you make a good point that I should have realised when I mentioned Ric's experience.
 
Unless Chelsea make big moves in the transfer market in the next few weeks they will have made the same mistake as we did last season by not strengthening when you're at the top. Unless the Rags buy defenders they're gonna have those clowns Jones and Smalling at the centre of their defence and probably will lose their best player in De Gea therefore waving goodbye to about 10 points he won them single handedly last season

Have these 'expert' pundits not spotted these obvious flaws and have they not taken into consideration that we under-performed whilst having injuries to key players throughout the season, but still finished second whilst being leading scorers and having the golden boot winner

For me its between us and Arsenal, Chelsea third, Rags fourth
