Media bias against City

[Chris in London]

Haha! Very good!

So when in Star Trek they talk about 'engaging the Ion Drive' they're actually saying what they need is one of Yaya's lung-bursting runs from midfield?

Strictly It Takes Two, or whatever the name of it is, hosted by United fan Zoe Ball is normally light hearted family entertainment. Tonight, out of nowhere, the normally professional Zoe Ball just had to announce to the world that today is the birthday of Manchester United's Paul Scholes. I mean why? Why on earth is this in any way relevant to Strictly Come Dancing?

I thought I was safe watching Only Connect, only to find they had managed to contrive a connection featuring El Chicharito.

I hope ITV don't catch the bug when I watch I'm a Celebrity later.

Scroll down to the City section and look at the photo and caption. Not very subtle empty seats jibe.

Fucking hell, how do we get 4/10 for away fans adding to the atmosphere while the rags get 7/10.

At least we give an allocation, that lot have a history of piss poor allocations, didn't they also fuck off the FA cup rules regarding allocations at one point.

Not media bias but the thread is here and I can't be arsed starting another one. Ridiculous article from SB in the MEN. "Is Sterling really an upgrade on Milner"
Yes, yes he is.

Totally different types of player,wonder what mr Brennan was thinking,for instance would he really be an upgrade for martin Samuel if he left the daily mail...

Have to disagree with this. Milner has bags of pace, agility, his dribbling's top notch, he has a good shot on him. I'd be very surprised if he's not shortlisted for ballon dor

Can't compare the cultured central midfielder Milner errrm right sided workhorse with Raheem (who's top of the league)

The point is thought we don't and will never see a Zaha v Mempis article etc.

What you're doing here is taking a "pro United" story, of which there are many, and conflating it into meaning it's anti City. This is one of the more fundamental nonsenses of this thread. It's surely time for City fans to stop playing the victims and embrace the fact that we're the relatively new kids on the block (in terms of the Premier League) and the lazy journalists, who've been on easy street for years, don't like it. They've cultivated their relationships for years, with no sustained challenge to the status quo, and they're on the defensive. Most of them don't have either the wit or imagination to embrace change (and, to be fair to them, change is not a concept that plays easily to many people) so they spout what they know and what is received wisdom about what the proper order of things is. People can either rail against the media or do what I, and lots of others, do and not give a shit about what 'they' say. This has always worked for me.

Strongly disagree with you my friend - apathy is, at best, dangerous - imo.
