Media bias against City

[TCIB]

I would like to see a special mma night, uk footy reporters/general footy media vs bluemoon

I call first, second, third and fourth fight :-D

Seriously, when Kun wins the Golden Boot what will all the press, pundits and fellow pros do?
Will it be declared a no news day, will there be a news blackout, will they turn to the money argument, will it be a discussion on how unlucky Kane was, he's English you know, or the vendetta against Costa?
Kun gets very little credit, he is under rated yet he is the best ever Prem striker goals per minute.
Does he have a problem, well yes hes not a cheating, diving prick like Adin Azzerd, hes not a dirty bastard like Costa and hes not English and doesn't play for one of the darlings
All I can suggest Kun, keep it up, do it again every year you are with City and ram their Agenda up their collective arses
Aguerooooooo

I think they will say Kane wasn't playing at the start of the season and Costa was missing at the end.

Conveniently avoiding the fact that Sergio got crocked by a dirty Evertonian when he was on fire and missed a large chunk of the middle of the season.

That started yesterday. The commentator was talking about Kane and we were reminded that he didn't start regularly for Spuds until October.

We all know Falcao or sturridge will win the golden boot.
Aguero, city, pellers and us don't exist in the eyes of the bitter journalists. As for Geoff shreeves he shouldn't be allowed back at the etihad, I know he gets the loaded questions from the producers but that yesterday was absolutely shocking.
And like GDM said, van gaal gets away Scot free for spending millions and producing shite after shite in the pitch.

Example on the Telegraph website this morning. Their main sports story is on where this Chelsea team stands in regards to the greatest Premier League winning sides, and in addition to their pathetic placing of the two City teams (no real competition in 11/12, very fortunate in 13/14), they don't actually include City on the covering picture. Two Utd teams, two Chelsea teams, one Arsenal team and the Blackburn team but neither City team. Petty to highlight it maybe, but sometimes it's the little things that stand out.

Just saw the 10:00am SSN headlines. No great surprises there. Chelsea apparently won the league with 3 games to go.

Then it changed to "who will be in the top 4?". The Rags, Candlepool, and Arse an all were all mentioned, ie, the other Sky 4 teams. No mention of the team currently in second, unsurprisingly. Nor was there any mention of yesterday's result at Tottingham. I switched off at that point, so I may have missed a fleeting moment describing it.

It's quite blatant sometimes

I'm starting to doubt we ever won the Premier League at all.

I agree that there is an agenda against City in the media, however in this case I think the reason we probably weren't mentioned in regards to the top 4 race is because we are already mathematically guaranteed to finish in the top 4. We are 9 points ahead of Liverpool with 3 games to go with a far superior goal difference so they are asking, other than Chelsea and City, what teams are going to fill the other 2 Champions League spots out of the 3 teams you mentioned.

Doubt no more! I've got the pics. Check out YouTube!

The BBC yesterday had the CFC game on the news, and then the local BBC had coverage of Preston, Crewe, Bury et al. But not a sniff of the winning team down The Lane! Not the first time this season that the BBC local news has completely ignored one of our games. I wonder whether the old GPC is on the editorial board of BBC Sport down RagDipperMeedyaCity!

Not having that im afraid as they ran a similar piece last week before we had it sown up and yet again, we didn't get a mention.

Local BBC news are a disgrace, they jump from any prem side apart from us to plucky Rochdale/Crewe/Tranmere on a regular basis, I'm often told off by Mrs Moon for swearing at the telly while eating my tea.
