Media bias against City

Status
Not open for further replies.
Slagging City off is a prerequisite of any article or commentary. It's typical City. It's in our DNA. There isn't much we can do to change that, except win trophies regularly. And even then they'll be waiting for that one slip up.

What is wrong with Gerrard? Is he clinically depressed or what..what a miserable dour boring **** of a bloke

Spend the time he did at Anfield and anyone would be a boring dour cnut. Just listen to Owen, there's another one.

Funny thing is that though my Evertonian offspring was quite fulsome for what BT did last night on the real opening night of their coverage, he was rightly appalled at the presence of CamelGob and Geraaaaaaaaaaaarse. One was no doubt employed to amuse the Rag subscribers by reiterating thae same old shite about City and CL and the other was their to slag off Sterling!! Par for the course with the RagDipperMeedya
 
Who the fuck was that scouse commentator on the match last night?. If a Juve player blew his snot on the effing pitch it was "brilliant, so easy for them, excellent that".
They did nothing more than make 2 short cross field passes, maybe 12ft each pass, Kompany makes a brilliant block/tackle...not a fucking peep out of him.

I try to stay away from all this bias stuff tbh but that really wound me up. Praise was faint when we deserved more and he was up Juve's arse.
I can't remember the last time i heard such poor commentary. At least Andy Townsend and such cheer the fucking English clubs, misserable bitter scouse sod whoever he is.
Next City match on BT sport is getting a miss from me, i'll stick the dutch or german streams on instead.

so lets get this right, "I try to stay away from all this bias stuff tbh but that really wound me up" So now you`re admitting there is a bias
 
I should point out that the adjective is "biased" to describe someone prejudiced in favour of one party against another.

Bias is a noun referring to that prejudice. A person cannot therefore be bias. He can have a bias, or be biased.
 
Oh i know there are a lot who do not give us a fair crack, i just try to avoid the media now regarding footy. With "bias stuff" i should have said "the vast majority of any media coverage of us. It started with a couple of papers and then got a bit to much to ignore. I usually watch german streams now and simply don't read papers much.

If utd had started the league like we have their would be a national week of memorial sponsored by sky.

I just didn't word myself very well, i agree their is an unfair amount of bashing against us and try to avoid it, the second i stick my toe back in it gets bit straight away.
Realized in this instance by a very annoying scouse commentator with some obvious distaste for us.

Cheers, i thought as much but certainly was not going to any efort to find out or i may have had to resort to childhood tactics of "shit in a bag" his house last night.
Probably another scouser who weeps because we have usurped (in their eyes) their god given right to being in the top 4.
 
Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but was anyone else unfortunate enough to have to listen to Niall Quinn last night?? Jesus, what's wrong with the man...He only seemed to be happy when Juventus scored and Kompany went off injured...I turned the tv off in the end. Can't we have a pundit somewhere that actually wants us to do well?
 
Alan Green described the result as a victory for football last night, and was earlier asking a City fan 'why on earth haven't City sold out the game tonight?'. Absolute twat.
 
Got home to Leicester late after the long journey home last night and turned on the rolling BBC News to chill out for a bit. The Sports Day anchorman, a guy called Nick Marshall-McCormack said the following:

"and another HA HA group stage defeat for Manchester City", with the fattest smirk across his beady eyed face you'll ever see. He actually inserted a laugh into his sentence, a giggle at our expense. I had to replay it 20 times to believe what I was hearing. What the flying fuck is a professional BBC journalist doing laughing at an English clubs demise? He didn't do it when describing the Rags defeat! Absolutely dumbfounded by this twat of a man.

Will anyone on here be able to download summat off that interwebthingy and put it up on here? It was about 1:45am this morning on BBC1 (when they join the rolling news for the early hours).

Knobhead..
 
The BT co--commentator was McMannaman, wasn't it?

I thought he was largely accurate, albeit a bit harsh.
Juve played to a more limited gameplan than City, but executed it pretty well.

But Ferdinand, words fail me why he was there to spread his superficiality, or whatever he's receiving down his earpiece.

Looks like he's an Arsenal fan, judging by his Twitter feed comments, hence his hatred of City
 
The BT broadcast was awful. Not only were Mcmanaman and 'Fletch' overly harsh, their reading of the game was also awful.

They spent the first 45 minutes applauding Juve and laying into us before Mcmanaman admitted 'mind you, you wouldn't begrudge City the lead, they have been the better team, created the better chances'.

We were playing against last season's finalist, not fucking Basel.

Did he explain in what way it was a victory for football? Is he particularly a lover of Italian, smash and grab football where attacking football is nullified or was it a general, "City are cunts so any time they lose it is inevitably a victory for football" type comment?

He also says our start to the season is now in tatters after the Juve game. FFS, what a major overreaction from a supposed ex Blue. Annoys the shit out of me does Quinn.

Exactly,listening to them it was as though we were playing some real no hope part time outfit, and should've been putting ten past them. The agenda is still huge out there against us.
