Bit harsh on Le Tiss I think, he usually gives an honest opinion when I've seen him on Soccer Saturday, replace him with Jeff Stelling who really hates us.

Not sure what Stelling's problem is, but he really does dislike us.

I reckon it dates back to that FA Cup tie against Hartlepool when Tueart nutted their player and put him in hospital and we still stuck 6 past them. ;-)

Ah well, I could forgive that. I still hate Spurs and most of that stems from the 81 cup final.

Always remembering that the Hartlepool player Potter, despite being unconscious on a stretcher, was also sent off for attempting to take Tueart's leg off at the knee which prompted the headbutt. If he'd made contact with his knee Tueart's career would have been over. I'll always remember the Hartlepool substitute getting ready to come and being waved away by the ref. Potter may well be the only player ever to have been sent off while unconscious.

Well remembered, somehow I had forgotten.

The football media in this country are a bunch of cunts. Every last one of them. I wouldn't give them the steam from my piss never mind buy a newspaper.

Even since Sheikh Mansour purchased our club all they have ever done is belittle us. They don't give us the credit we are due and never will. They are too busy trying to blow off the armchair loving rags and dippers to care.

They adopted the term 'Noisy Neighbours' and used it to describe us on a daily basis. They took everything that the piss-stained alcoholic Scottish prick said as gospel and laughed at us at every opportunity. "You can't buy success" they said, "Money bags City" they said, "a team of mercenaries" they said, "Ruining football" they said. Well they can all fuck off! It's funny how them accusations aren't banded at another Manchester club who have spent fortunes to finish 4th.

Who's laughing now ey?

3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st and 2nd in the past 5 seasons along with an FA Cup and League Cup. All whilst their beloved United and Liverpool have struggled.

The fact that their bias is so obvious makes it even sweeter. Kun, Silva and Yaya, three of the best players to ever grace the PL have never won the PFA player of the season. Pellegrini comes and wins the league and league cup in his first ever season in English football, scoring a record number of goals and receives no accolades. Yet the self proclaimed 'Special One' wins the same double and is hailed as a genius. Kyle Walker beats Kun to the young player award is still the most baffling decision in history. Along with '10 game' Giggs and Scotty 'the lionheart' Parker being voted the best player.

Then we can move onto the whole FFP saga. Every one of them fuckers had it in for us. They all slated us about money and the way we did our business. "Plastic club" has been banded about. As has the phrase "not a proper club like United of Liverpool". This coming from so called professionals who get paid to do their research. Anyone with half a brain cell and internet explorer could see FFP for what it really was. But these so called journalists couldn't?

IMO every last one of them knew the real intentions of FFP. They knew it was unfair, unjust and a measure of protecting the 'elite' but that's what they or their paymasters wanted so they went against their integrity for money. Something which reinforces the view that they are cunts.

Then there is the manner in which we sacked Hughes and Liverpool sacked Rodgers got reported. Apparently, we're the bad guys who gave Clueless a chance, despite him being here pre-takeover, let him spend £100+ million and finish a place below Sven did. Then we "immorally" and "classless" brought Bobby in. Yet the Dipper treating Rodgers in a similar way and getting Klopp was top business.

And now what do they have?

We have quashed the "money can't buy success" phrase, drowned out the 'noisy neighbours' tag and shown that our business model does work. The players who they verbally attacked have made them eat their words, as have our boardroom and owners. We may not get the plaudits in awards, but we do in silverware. So instead they attack us, the fans. "Emptyhad" they call it, They draw rings around empty seats and mock our expansion plans.

It's laughable because it's all they have left to mock us about. They never did it when we were getting crowds of 30,000 in the old Div 2. They never mocked us when we behaved "impeccably" at the Rags 50th anniversary. But now its the be all and end all. No 'big club' doesn't sell out they say, despite every club not selling out every game. Nothing is mentioned about us having a bigger crowd than Liverpool and Chelsea. Or United struggling to sell cup tickets. They praised Bradford City fans for their Wembley turn out despite not selling out their much much smaller stadium at weekends. Yet we get mocked for having a bigger turnout against Bournemouth than Sevilla.

When they praise us it means nothing. When they criticise us it means nothing. I hope that one day our boardroom will treat these parasites with the contempt that they deserve. Read bullet points off a sheet for news conferences and provide water and gruel as refreshments on match days.[/QUOT

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"

Re Tevez - the **** Cantona attacks someone in the crowd and 20yrs later they are making programmes to celebrate the anniversary of his 'return'. - that makes the flesh crawl. I would care about the clear bias if they pretended it wasn't there. But it's clear as day so it's easy to ignore, they are not even subtle with it
