[jrb]

Daily Fail at it again.

It's now the turn of the Women's team.

sexist bigots, I'm sure they'd tell their female colleagues that they can't be paid well for their hard work either, and be given opportunities with brand new, state of the art facilities at an employer with a unrivalled commitment to the development of the game.

So predictable.
BBC running a story about the restrictions on foreign players that has been in the news today and the photo and match they feature. yep, us. v Barcelona with "only 3 English players played in the tie". Perhaps that's why we were playing in the last 16 of the CL, not reliant on technically limited English players. Oh Chelsea had 2 English players in the team/bench v PSG but use us of course as an example

wont the restriction of non-EU players, and the homegrown age down to 15, technically suit City in years to come? we are the ones pouring money into the academy while other teams continue to plug the gap with pre-fabbed overseas purchases. isnt this move positive for City against its rivals?

Aye, but this fact does not suit the Agenda narrative.

Here's a prediction:
When all the journalists do their end of season run-in prediction fest, City will finish no higher than 4th and some journalists will even have us collapsing to 5th .

EDIT:
Feck me, I go to the BBC and lo and behold the first such article is there:

McNulty has us to finish 4th behind Chelsea, Arsenal & Utd.

The Special One was right all along.

A clear campaign against Chelsea.

How is this evidence of an agenda? I think we'll finish 4th!

Easy. The agenda is simply the fact that we have very few sports journalists who support City in the press. Most support old style "Sky 4" teams and therefore a by default are anti-City because their team's nose is being pushed out of the Champions League money trough as a result. It also shows up laziness as many will simply extrapolate last 8 form going forwards.
