I cannot even believe this article is being discussed. Who exactly is this guy? He is just some internet chancer who has written an intentionally provoking article in the hope he will receive clicks and hits and typically City fans are lapping it up and giving this bile, oxygen to breath.

It is exactly the reason these posts are so extreme and provoking because, as this thread proves, such garbage receives the most amount of interest.

You can just see lurking reds or pool fans returning to Rawk and sad cafe and sharing the article as a method of winding City fans up.

As a fanbase we need to be more secure in the development and the path we have taken. Every slight, negative comment cannot be taken as some conspiracy or crusade against the club. But If you choose to read internet drivel written by some fat inadequate who gets his kicks out of winding people up on the internet do not be surprised if you are offended.

This article should not have seen the light of day instead it has probably been viewed by an additional 1000 people on this forum alone. You have made the clowns day.

This all day long
 
TBF I only posted the article because it's symptomatic of the agenda against this club, regardless if the said agenda was written by a professional journalist working for one of the newspapers, which receives 1000's of hits per article, or an individual like Chris Lowe, who probably receives 100's of hits per article.

The fact that there is an *Agenda thread* on BM highlights the overall problem.(btw it's currently 94 pages long) And also highlights the fact that City fans need to discuss the topic, regardless of it's source.

From a personal point of view I've come to accept that there will now always be a large % of fans who will condemn City for what has happened since Sheikh Mansour bought the club. Like many on here I have fought the clubs corner, and in some cases changed attitudes(at work and on other forums) towards the club. Unfortunately there will always be fans who won't change their attitudes towards the club no matter what you say to them. That's just a fact of life.

Like others on here am I'm not beating myself up about the said article. I felt it was worth posting in this thread as it still shows the depth of ill feeling towards the club, and the total lack of understanding and denial of what has gone on at club since Sheikh Mansour bought it.

And yes, in the cold light of day Chris Lowe does come across as a bitter b******, with little or no understanding of the club, the owner, and how the local area has benefitted since the club was bought by Sheikh Mansour.
 
I gave up with that sad article two sentences in and wont be discussing it further.

Back to the Agenda!

The Times today, Netbusters chart. Sergio's at the top of the list of the Premier League highest goalscorers. However Harry Kane has his photo atop the list. If you were just scanning the page you'd probably presume that Kane is the leading scorer.

Yes Frank we get it. You're a very rational man who doesn't get aggrieved by the constant attacks on our club. Wherever they're the subtle ones or the outright bitter, we should all just ignore them and carry on as though we're treated equal.
Well fuck that, this one, though only written by some fuckwit in his basement is a prime example of what the national media have acheived with their constant negativity aimed at us.
I don't know what part of the world you inhabit or how often you chat to people who support different clubs but I can tell you that in my line of business I get to speak to blokes on a daily basis from all parts of the uk who's opinions of City are formed by articles such as this. Anyone who thinks the years of tabloid nonsense aimed at us or the obvious Sky bias against us hasn't had a drip drip affect on how we're perceived are living in lala land.

I even think at times this drip drip effect can affect our own perception of our club albeit in a limited and largely unconscious type
of way. It must have an effect otherwise why would governments broadcast to their enemies during wartime? We really need to
up our game with the media especially in this country. We're second in the league, expanding the stadium and have built the finest
academy and training facilities in the world yet there has been an air of negativity around the ground all season. As a fan base we
seemed to have been more up for it when we were shit.

Number 1 on that list.

Lol Jeff Stelling making the point about Bony not getting chances since he's signed. Not even bothering to research into the fact he's been injured.
