Media bias against City

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Best thing to do is use all this 'disrespect' by the media as fuel to perform at a top level and return to the top of the EPL. Media personnel have their own biases and agendas and are hardly ever right. This Man City squad is talented and strong and should do very well this year.

I think that is exactly what Vinny is saying to the players

We as supporters can do very little about media bias because we as fans are a media minority at the moment.

Imagine if we were players and we had been seeing this frustratingly biased reporting during the last few months we would be livid. The difference is as players we could make them eat their words by performances on the field.
Our owners rarely give the media ammunition to misrepresent and get on with their commercial and team building plans. Our players adopt a similar culture and are all apparently ready to sort out the media and their insistence on using fantasy football to sell their wares.

I am quite impressed by the first game and am a little amused that Mr Pullis admits to choosing the wrong configuration to play against City. He should have worked to his teams strengths rather assuming City were a fading team ready to be taken by his new strike force.
Stop listening to the media is probably the advice MP gave him during a possible glass of wine interlude after the game.

I think the 1st game of the season was the perfect time to play West Brom because Pulis was clearly not aware of our change in formation this season so he played 4-4-2 thinking we would play the same whereas if this game was later on in the season he would have set up differently. Also the fact that playing too open has backfired means he will park the bus against the other big teams which the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal will find hard to break down and could drop points. What many of us thought would be a tricky opening away fixture turned out to be right team at the right time.

I thought that when the teams were announced, but I have to give Pulis credit he admitted his mistake.

I guess the main difference is that the people on here are not paid thousands of pounds a week to be a football 'expert'

That was such a poor strawman defence

Also we weren't 'all' worried about the defence. Many have said friendlies count for fuck all, as they do every season.

Maybe 'all' was a little over the top, but the way transfer forum and match day forums were flapping it felt like all.

I was stuck on the M56 for 5 hours yesterday along with thousands of others.

Gave me an "opportunity" to listen in detail on Radio 5 to Robbie Savage's "analysis" of City's season prospects, plus his hatred of Sterling and all things City generally.

I must admit though, by the end of the match he was asking for an opportunity to upgrade his 4th place prediction.

I still have no idea why when showing brief clips of the WBA game, Sky showed our player getting a caution but none of the 4 yellows they had. Since when has getting booked been worthy of including in a very brief clip

They stop being pundits really when they display such a biased and nonsensical critique of teams they irrationally hate. I don't blame the shit ex footballers who are doing any footballing analysis, it's the companies that employ them that have got their heads up their arses.

If you were going to employ an expert in any other field be it stocks and shares or environmental issues you wouldn't go for a person/company who talks out of the side of its mouth, these may very well know how football works and inside they are screaming CITY but they don't want to upset their fans and just lazily and cowardly say Arsenal/Liverpool/Rags/ and Chelsea.
