This is the prem though, why not go back to the 2-1 in 66, had to think about that one :-)

I really do believe there is a media bias against us, but that is mostly based on a few normal human factors.

1. 80% of all fans follow a top bracket of elite clubs, and us coming in, poaching talents, giving them a hard time in the transfer market, driving up prices, and challenging for tittles, has united those types of fans in having a common enemy.

2. Since the media has their income based on views and clicks, they will feed the pebble, and if they don't do it, some other newspaper will.

What i have found out, and pointed out a few times, is that i think Goal.com is doing a very good job, both with information of our dealings in the transfer market, but also about what is going on behind the scenes in the club.

In just the last few days, i have found some very optimistic, and objective pieces about the club, which is a breath of fresh air, cause they are so few and far between.

Improving Pellegrini deserves Credit

Sterling was right to ditch Liverpool... now he must show he's a £49m man

Brilliance from De Bruyne but frustration for Aguero.

Have Manchester City finally made a Champions League breakthrough?

Remember it well fat arse king kenny destroying us once again but i'm a sad arse statto and that was deffo a Satday game not midweek though.

I'm old and memories get confused. I'm sure we played a night game where we got as we say trounced.
Anyway whatever, i remember we didn't play as bad as the result suggests. Just that they were clinical
and so fast with the ball.

Sky don't control F365 anymore( since earlier this year). They've generally been fair to City in the many years I've been reading it. Much bigger snakes out there.

I'd agree with that. f365 does take the piss out of us, but they take the piss out of everyone.

BBC North West managed to dig up 6 dipper goals and just 2 for us in their preview of tomorrow's game. Back to King Kenny for the footage. Desperate stuff from BBC Sport - aka the Toxteth Taproom.

I was laughing and pointing at the telly thought it was funny as fuck and just proves they have loads of istoty from the 70's and 80's.

They couldn't show stuff from our heyday as TV coverage was shit then and so were the dippers.

Did anyone see Phil Thompson's combined City/liverpool eleven on sky. Apparently Clyne is better than Sagna,Skrytel is better than Kompany, Coutinho is better than De Bruyne or Silva and the best is Milner ahead of Navas. Deluded is a word of choice on football expert Big nose Phil's selection.

Apart from the incorrect score and the wrong day it was played on?

Ah yes, I remember it well!

I think he has significant mental health issues.
