Media bias against City

[TCIB]

Some of you have had chance to get pissed off at the media already ? I still have my cock in a hole i cut out of a Kevin De Bruyne poster tbh.

Bear in mind blues that most of what you read tomorrow will have been written before the final whistle. There will just have been a minor editorial change to the headline, score, and a short added sentence about kdb. You will not see the real bitterness unless we win at the weekend

They can say what they want and they will the little slugs actually slugs have too much meat what I mean is the little short flightless bony grubs anyway what they'll say will be mostly true we sneaked that one :)

Probably not the time for it after a great win but this report by the BBC's Chris Bevan is proper anti-City media shite.

Did we lose?

I totally share your response. The areas for improvement he raised I have no problem with if it were posted on Bluemoon. However for the world media the article lacks of balance to say the least.
If Bevan has written a similar one sided hatchet job on the rags, tarquins, dippers or chavs can someone give me a link.
No mention of the better performances of some of our players and the sublime skill of Kevin De Bruyne. No mention that we fought to the end and stuck to the attacking style that has produced 13 goals in the last 3 games.
The guy has a wiff about him for all Oakie's acceptance.

Dailyfail match report would top it all off, you can litterally feel the frustration of writer on city win, resorting to usual price tag, money reasons

DM article slagging us off for not selling out the away section.

Our attendence was the 4th highest across europe this week. Don't know who "Mike Keegan" is, but he's certainly not a journalist.

He's a fucking cockroach who takes any and every opportunity to slag us off. He's been on here in the past defending himself.

Plenty of buildup on skysports today. Tony Cottee sporting a very nice red tie in his discussions around how united need to dominate the midfield and they will win. Its almost like we are an italian team in a big European game with them. The whole coverage is built around them winning and SS wanting them to win. If they can dominate the midfield, if TT can get rooney playing, if they do this, if they do that. Surely it should be IF we play to our potential then we will win no matter what they do, end of. There is such a tone to the build up it is sickening though not suprising.

Great column by Steven Howard in The Sun today, talking about City's great players of the past and a plug for James Lawton's book.

And Samuel again strikes the right note in the Mail.

Lawton..

"It is that never before can such a miserable example of broken down professionalism, of abandoned self-respect and a total failure to deliver a sliver of value for money (the transfer value of City's starters was approximately £206m, with substitutes James Milner, Aleksandar Kolarov and Maicon representing another £48m), have provoked less in the way of red-blooded outrage."

"Another truth was much easier to grasp this last weekend. It is that City have become a parody of a club who might be anywhere near taking their place at the heart of European football. Their dismissal from the Champions League was one shocking development. The tolerance of the Mario Balotelli situation was an affront to professional standards. The reinstatement of Tevez after his Munich mutiny was another compromise to make the flesh crawl"
