Media bias against City

Having been a City supporter for more years than most on this forum I understand what you say.
We were able to rise above all the criticism others gave us so they had little choice than to admire and respect our loyalty.

Surely this indifference to ridicule and criticism is part and parcel of being a City supporter so why should we expect anything else ? Do we really need the reassurances that we feel we deserve from those who used to patronise us just because we are getting more success than we used to have ?

Yes, maybe we would like others to see our achievements the way they do other teams but if we are upset by it is part of our traditional heritage changing perhaps for the worse ?

I know what you're saying here & the "indifference to ridicule & criticism" is a bit like a badge of honour for City fans. But as I've got older, I find I enjoy those occasions when the media praises the team for a great performance. It's all part of the joy & enhances & prolongs my pleasure in the game. So it's a shame when that's taken away by those who don't love our club & prefer to concentrate on the deficiencies of the opposition.

The Daily Fail talking about Spains squad training:

Spain trained in Madrid on Tuesday, with Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea alongside team-mate Juan Mata, Chelsea trio Pedro, Cesc Fabregas and Cesar Azpilicueta, and playmakers Santi Cazorla and David Silva of Arsenal and Manchester United.

Unfortunately old habits die hard for opposing supporters as well as the media that panders to their views.

I agree this is wrong and I agree we as supporters feel that we deserve better but time will change things so they will misrepresent or ignore our achievements at their peril in the future as our obvious superiority becomes a chronic condition.
 
Well the Trollograph had a first yesterday...
Fan Fiction - Yes folks an article on what WOULD have happened if Giggs had retired from playing football earlier allowing Ferguson to hand over earlier and let Giggs take the reigns.
Truely the once great paper that reported the news without opinion (keeping that to 'leaders') is now purely a rag fanzine...
Now here is the link, but please DON'T click it unless you really like a giggle about FAN fiction...

How low the Trollograph has gone since the sale to the Barclay brothers and the creation of a "Digital Agenda" by the owner's place men. Yes clicks are all that count folks!

Unfortunately all media must address the digital change or go under.

Its only a month or so since the Financial Times sold out to a fully digital Nikkei because they were unable to keep up with the pace of change.
Their Chief Executive claimed that despite getting 70% of their subscriptions via downloads rather than printed paper they needed a specialist company to take them through the rest of the change.

Well there's Digital Media and Digital Media.
Pumping articles full of opinion whose intention is to gain the favourable attention of a section of its 'readers' will only encourage the worst human traits of it's readers. Welcome to Troll World...
