Only the teams that threaten their place at the trough, we are that team. There can be more than one agenda by the way, it doesn't make the one against us any less real or unfair.So it's not an agenda against us per se. It's an agenda against every team other than United, Arsenal and Liverpool?

I think there's two sides to it. The other side of bigging up teams like the rags and Arsenal is that a story doing us down plays just as well as a positive story about the rags.So it's not an agenda against us per se. It's an agenda against every team other than United, Arsenal and Liverpool?
The other side is that I think there is something of an agenda against us specifically as we're a relatively easy target, with the owners, the money, etc, etc. However it's difficult to distinguish between the two.

And there we have it, for those who debunk the notion that there's no media agenda against us in favour of the so-called "big clubs". Someone who was on the inside (and I know LT) telling you how it worked.
So you know somebody, within the media, who is actively working against the interests of Manchester City. I am disgusted.

The number of stories doesn't tell the whole picture. City stories are almost always negative and dismissive, those of the other teams are very often which "top talents" they are going to buy.OK, still keeping score of the BBC Gossip Column stories. I've been keeping a note of how many times the following clubs get mentions in that column as it takes stories from all over the media. Our score is more remarkable given the fact that we're possibly getting the most sought after manager in world football - fuck knows what the Rag score would be if they were getting Guardiola. Anyway, since 1 Nov 15:
Rags - 309
Chelsea - 262 (approx 60 were about Mourinho)
Arsenal - 164
Liverpool - 161
City - 127

not sure about bias. That's Toure's agent - who was angling for a move for his client not long ago - with a pre-emptIve strike. Came through Press Association.
