Media bias against City

[middleton___blue]

I try and stay away from them biased cunts on sky as much possible. Its beyond me how they get away with it, it only seems too be us...why? Just dont get it

Fucking hell, even by the clowns on Soccer Saturdays standards, this has been impressively shit. Apparently Spurs battered us and David Silva was a violent thug who was lucky to stay on the pitch, showing the fustration of our season and our lack of quality. YCNMIU

Apparently we are a million miles away, Nicholas sat there shaking his head saying City are a million miles away, but before that Ushited are going for the league next season. Negative spin all the time. Fuck me you would think we were fighting relegation listening to this lot. Did I hear the panel say that Aguero and Silva didnt deserve to be in the team of the year or am I imagining that one?

They said that us having no one in the TOTY was proof that we've all been awful, and that Silva and Aguero have been nowhere near their level. They showed every attack Spurs had, every foul given against Silva, yet absolutely nothing else. Not even our goal. 100% hatchet job, as always

We're second with three games to go ffs! Fucking bunch of tits.

A bit like last season the supposed agenda has been completely destroyed.

Every week I keep getting told how United are the media darlings, cartel club and yet this season like last their manager has been more heavily criticised than any other. We have had a lack of defensive signings, playing Rooney out of position, long ball football, criticised for slow tempo football.

Similarly in the week Chelsea won the league the papers have been filled with discussions about their style of football.

If anything journalism, based on the daily publication of newspapers, twitters feeds and internet based news, is pretty lazy and responds to the statements of players, managers resonating out of football.

For example when Kompany spoke about FFP and its affect on City this was the focus in the newspapers for the following few days, similarly Wengers "Chelsea won 1-0 again" underpinned the newspaper narrative for the following few days about the style of football.

Sadly quite a few people cannot accept journalists, ex-players, even those generally supportive of City, may not like everything about the club and so when such issues are discussed fans take any perceived slight as evidence that person is against us. Even the likes of Trevor Sinclair, Niall Quinn, ex-blues are criticised along with pretty much every newspaper, television channel, referees, Football association, UEFA the list goes on....

Some City fans seem to revel in their victim status and spend their time looking for articles to reinforce this opinion.

Hmm......

Good spot. So does that mean I have used the wrong word in a sentence or am I closet Red? I wonder on the paranoid world of the agenda thread what the verdict will be :-).

Guilty.......send the rag bastard down.

Is Marc Higginson one of the beebs pet rags or a 'neutral' from Mcr like so many other closet scum?
In his bbc post match the three main topics he covers are how shit qpr are, how they deserve to go down for not trying to beat us, and speculation on the future of both managers - Yes that's right, after winning 6-0 Pellers gets touted for the chop! Let's hope any other PL managers that finish one place below their stated tatrget come under the same scrutiny.

His opening line.....................Sergio Aguero struck a hat-trick, with two of his goals coming after poor defending and the third via a penalty

Now if it that was Sterling , Kane or rooney

Just look at the press coverage in this election if you truly believe the UK media is acting with integrity and for the benefit of the reader.

It's all top down and they look after their interests. United, Liverpool and Arsenal = big fanbase = more readers = more money. They don't hate us because we are City, they hate us because their readers hate us so that is the narrative they stick to.

It's just little things like never referring to us as the Champions throughout the season, just the noisy neighbors. Negative spin on every headline like "City's new academy - no more excuses for their poor youth policy".

Just accept it and stop buying their papers.

So after a 6-0 win surely we will finally get some recognition on MOTD. Would you believe the only mention we got was when that absolute mess Lawro said that Pellegrini's uses 4-4-2 whereas all other levels of the club use 4-3-3. The irony being that we have played a 4-3-3 system for 5 games in a row. No mention of Aguero's hat-trick or how he was disgracefully overlooked for the POTY & TOTY.

Seemingly the only way to get praise is to play boring football or hire a manager with a ridiculous haircut that carries a clipboard and says philosophy every 2 seconds.

Quite right, (except that Peller's haircut is also indefensible)

By the way, anybody think he looks like Karanka's dad (Boro boss)?
