Media bias against City

[bernabias home shirt]

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.

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.

Bingo..

Rubbish cookie, they'd never miss the chance to give the rags a name check.

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.

It is frustrating but we will get the credit we deserve one day. They can't ignore us forever, especially if Sheikh Mansour gets his wish and we become the biggest football club in the world.

Yes, I can see that happening.

"Manchester City win again to lift the Premier League title for the 5th consecutive season. And in other news, Bryan Riggs' Rags are relegated on goal difference, Arsenal are relegated with Wenger committing Hara Kiri in front of his statue, the candle at Anfield is finally extinguished, and Abramovich is extradited to serve a 15 year sentence in the Siberian salt mines for alleged fraud.

This programme is brought to you on ADUG TV, formerly SSN, and is determined to bring you up to date, unbiased football coverage for all teams."

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

I could have sworn I went to the etihad last week...
We have got a stadium haven't we?
Those players on the pitch.. They wasn't holograms was they?
I'm beginning to doubt if I'm really real...
Am I really here?

NO.

Why do you think we holograms sing "We're not really here" ?

We're all dead.

From Wikipedia...

The simulation hypothesis contends that reality is in fact a simulation (most likely a computer simulation), of which we, the simulants, are totally unaware. Some versions rely on the development of simulated reality, a fictional technology.

The programmers of this simulation were alien rag/dipper hybrids.

What's Trevor Sinclair got against us. MOTD2 post-match analysis was a joke

I hope all the agenda theory members have cancelled sky....surely that's the least you should do.
