Media Bias

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Get a life.

I know your comment wasn't directed towards me, but since people have been advising me to do this for years I thought I'd take the opportunity to ask if any fellow blues know of anywhere where I can get hold of one of these "LIFE" things? Are they expensive? Will I be able to purchase one from an actual shop or are they only available online? Anybody got a link?

sorry cant help you,i lost mine about 16 years ago,and for the life of me i didnt see it coming all i got was a gold ring in return.

i went to a bit of a do all suited and booted,had a few drinks,mrs looked good ,in a little white number ive never seen before or afteraand she was well up for a good shafting,next day gone ,vanished into thin air

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my request and I am sorry to hear of your loss, but perhaps I can offer some advice of my own which you may find helpful... have a look under the sofa? I often find things I have lost are under there. Either that or ask the missus, from what I have learned about their species, I understand that they have a strange penchant for tidying things up and putting them in places you would need a degree in lateral thinking to even begin your quest of looking for them.

Just ignore the clueless buffoon, mate.

Whoah, Whoah, Whoah, I take issue with that, this is a Bluemoon Forum Site predominantly for blues is it not? I respond to a nonsensical statement regarding "earned" and I get an idiotic remark like that. What's the procedure for a complaint blues do I pm the mods?

put your hand up and say 'Sir! Sir! Sir!' and one will get to you eventually. Fair play, mate. Everyone loves a tell tale.

Any sensible responses much appreciated.

Is it hard enough to realise that some people will see things differently than others? And if people do, foes it give others [permission to belittle and name call, rather than debate the issue at hand

Play nicely please

If the media kiss Man United's arse, why does Ferguson rage at them all the time?

He doesn't of course. If they tow his line everything is wonderful. If they don't or he perceives a slight of some kind then he goes into full bully mode until he gets his own way. He does this with journalists, referees, football officials, the BBC. And for some reason they are all scared of him. There is pro-United bias - there can be no doubt about that.

I've been pondering whether to post this for a while simply considering it might simply be a personality clash, but this has been bothering me.

Dave, is there some especial reason you've decided that your new favorite pastime is throwing abuse at people? It seems to be your sole aim lately to be honest, and you act as if there are rules for Dave and those fortunate enough to agree with you and rules for Everyone Else. You've repeatedly shown up lately only to deride people for the sin of not being you. You used to debate points although when you tired of it or sensed you weren't on the winning side, you would often resort to sneering condescension. These days, you simply start with the sneering condescension and rarely introduce a cogent point.

I think at this point we all get it. You despise a good amount of City fans, especially here on the forum, and you think we're a lesser breed who can't live up to your standards. So now in some strange effort to be clever, you're making incredibly convoluted metaphors about carts, horses, and horses spewing shit out of their mouths. Evidently, City fans are the horses in this frankly absurd example.

Honestly? It's hypocrisy. I don't use that word lightly either. You have railed in the past about posters who only exist to try to prove you wrong because they can't handle your truth, which is paranoid nonsense. Now your primary interactions are quite often to rail about needless paranoia among fans here. Additionally, you've on multiple posts in this thread repeatedly chastised people for ignoring your question (and incidentally insinuated this as proof of your correctness) while on at least two occasions ignored questions directed at you.

I'll be blunt. I've seen more elegant internet trolling from 9-year olds. You have put yourself into a situation that's dragged on now for a long time, and it certainly seems to have embittered you towards the forum. No one else did this to you. You did. You're the one that makes debate into a confrontation, and you consistently and distastefully make it personal. I have no especial desire to see you unhappy or see you leave (on your own or otherwise) but I used to enjoy reading your debates even if I didn't always agree. It's an internet forum. It's not worth this. I realize you might respond--if at all--that you aren't bothered in the slightest, but it's not about you being bothered. It's about treating people as if they're more than something you would scrape off a boot.

Still not managed to post an aguero one yet then!? Would be good to see what it looks like.

I never miss anything city related, im the sort that will spot someone with a city pin badge on holiday.

Just wish i had the time that you and DD seemingly have to post on any 'agenda' or 'mediabias' threads. Take the pair of your posts away and the sentiment would be largely in favour of an inherent and continual bias against us.

Ive been waiting for months for the media to tackle fergie on the 'not in my lifetime' statement and of course nothing.

You can argue on these type of things forever but the overriding factor that proves the favouritism towards the rags or more broadly the traditional big clubs is FFP - that is the elephant in the room that proves institutional protectionism across all ofthe footballing bodies.

This is about vested interests and DD has proven by his close business connections to sky that he is part of the cabal. He has inadvertently exposed himself. He is torn by his support of City and protecting his income and unfortunately he is selling himself to the devil, you on the other hand just come across as naive.

There is a management book called 'only the paranoid survive' you could do with reading it.

Don't know where you live, but i'm N.Manc. Near me on Oldham Road is an Aguero one, then further up past Newton Heath is another Aguero one, opposite which is a United one. Honestly though? You won't catch me going to the trouble of taking a photo of it and posting it on here, simply because I don't need to. They exist just as much as the United ones exist, though it's funny you noticed that one and not a City one. I would say that you were probably in that much of a huff about it and going over and over your almost-boiled mind that it's because of an agenda, that you missed the Aguero one that was probably staring right at you in the face as you sat there dribbling at the traffic lights, dribbling through fury, through anger - through despair.

Friend of mine's just tweeted this. He lives in Manchester, don't know where this is, though:

One of many, just like the ones of United are one of many too. They're everywhere and at the end of the day, why wouldn't they be?

No, nothing will change it i'm sure. It's like when we went 8 points behind last season and I was pointing things out where the media were having pops at United. Posters on here actually said it's because they, (the media), don't want to make it look too obvious, so now we are out of the race they can leave us alone slightly. So the agenda crew already have a reason/excuse readily available for when there isn't any sign of an agenda! Amazing! (and completely fucking barking mad).
