Eyes wide shut as far seeing any semblance of worth in what the pathetic hack apologists on here have to say GDM.

Loads of people have that extra bit of hate for the scum because the media constantly plays a PR role for them. If you're playing the most entertaining footy and achieving the most success in recent years, football fans can't help but notice, and if it happens without the poxy media cramming it down people's throats making everyone sick... Bonus!
Tyler's stats column on Sky Sports point out that the last time the scum were 3 goals down was in 2004/5 against Middlesborough.
Apparently us being 3-0 up and then 6-1 up at the swamp doesn't count.
I seem to remember beating them 4-1 two years ago as well.

I can't stand Tyler but to be fair he did say "3 nil down at half time" We were leading 1 nil at half timeTyler's stats column on Sky Sports point out that the last time the scum were 3 goals down was in 2004/5 against Middlesborough.

Two years ago we were 3 up at the half. Aguero x2 and Toure free kick.

In the 4-1 win we were 2 nil up at half time.

Is that a game I've completely forgotten?!

Ah bugger, you're right. Mis-remembered Aguero's second being just after. My bad.

Sergio and Yaya in first halfTwo years ago we were 3 up at the half. Aguero x2 and Toure free kick.
Sergio and Nasri in second half, with a late Rooney consolation goal.
No, you're doing alright, I'm the one going senile! I was thinking Aguero's second was just before the half, not just after.
Ha, no worries mate. By the way, Toure's goal wasn't a free kick either ;)

This is the biggest tin foil helmet thread ever.
The media exists to sell itself. They want to appeal to the masses. There are more United and Liverpool fans than City fans. They are going to post more articles in their favor than they will about City.
Who cares what Martin Tyler says - I can't hear it when I'm stood in the SouthStand.

Jesus, where's the alzheimer's meds when you need them. That's right, he knee'd that one in didn't he?
Ha, it can happen to the best of us mate. I used to be able to effortlessly remember details of games stretching back decades (well, to the late 80s when I started going, at least), yet the other day I couldn't for the life of me remember our game at White Hart Lane last season.
Anyway, back on topic.
So, today's evidence of an agenda against City is Sky Sports News (correctly) pointing out that Jurgen Klopp would be only the second German to manage in the PL after Felix Magath, and Martin Tyler (correctly) pointing out that the last time United were three goals down at half-time was against Middlesbrough in 2005.
Compelling evidence.

Like the politics thread, this one will always have the odd one who stretch the extreme as far as they can.

Have we had any update on column inches in the Manchester Evening News for the last three month period?
I think on the last count it was running 60-40 in Uniteds favour. Not had an update on measurements from that poster for a while.
I know I take the mick a little (as many do of me) but I genuinely hope their 'Agenda' at finding slights against City is not detracting enjoyment, for them, from what a wonderful time this is to support City
The Uwe comment and United being 3-0 down at half time (which have both proved accurate) shows the desperation to be outraged by the media.

First time I have looked at the hard edition of the MEN for over a year this morning while sat in a reception and I did notice the rags had two pages for their match report as against one page for the City match report, which funnily enough had me immediately thinking of this thread.
As for finding slights, this week on the worlds biggest sports radio station I have heard from one of their announcers "Everyone is sick of City because of the money" and "Pellegrini is on his last legs".
I await to see if these comments are proved accurate or they can be filed under Media bias against City.
