And that's why if I'm offered a free one in town I always say the same as I say to the half n half sellers...I wouldn't wipe my arse on that.You might have thought our local paper, the MEN, might have some front-page coverage of our appearance in the FA Cup that's just 24 hours away. But look at their online front page, the first football story is about Ferguson's reaction to their loss v Cardiff. Next is another United story about their attitude to Sean Longstaff's transfer. Then it's Manchester United transfer news LIVE.
Then finally the first City story about Pep apologsing for the Allez, Allez song. Just under that is a story about Nicky Butt warning OGS not to overuse Mason Greenwood (who?). Further down, under the stories about the Jeremy Kyle petition, the bus driver who fell asleep at the wheel & a police raid in Oldham there's Manchester City news & transfers panel with a story about a CL ban being a step closer next to it. Next one down is Ed Woodward's quarterly conference call.
Not one single mention of their most successful local team playing in the FA Cup final tomorrow that could see them lift all four domestic trophies in the same season. Shocking.
Take a look on Twitter at the difference in Sky sports premier league asking the same question about next season's spending. Biased.

Journo social media currently decrying Man City tribalism by banding together and expressing strong loyalty to their own profession. Tagging each other in social media posts and sneering at the mental deficiencies of inhumane monsters who can't even enjoy their own success.
This success which we are told is deficient because it has been won by:
a) employing the best people;
b) creating a working environment that gets the best from people;
c) being better than everyone else but not better than everyone else 30 years ago;
d) not scoring enough long range goals;
e) not bricking enough buses because actually engaging in violence is morally superior than singing about other people being violent;
f) not finishing second;
g) winning stuff.
At the same time as being criticised for rushing to the defence of Abu Dhabi we are told we shouldn't be answering for them whilst at the same time being asked to justify why we still go to games. Defending the team you support against claims you consider to be harsh or simply attempting to add context is seen as the worse kind of tribalism and is indefensible.
In the face of what we consider to be increasing hostility and agenda driven determination to undermine and punish our club, for mostly acting like every other club in the world was able to for all of history with the exception of about 3 years, we are told to look for balance and see the other side. This is from a media that has largely been blind and deaf to what our criticism of UEFA is about and is surprised every time they hear is boo the Champions League anthem.
Although to be fair the pouncing on the old and easily disprovable news articles about NYT being part owners of Liverpool was embarrassing. I hope those fans that did that lose their jobs as professional journalists or researchers or whatever they do for a living. Although this is a lot less embarrassing then either being unaware of or knowingly ignoring the lobbying and petitioning of our rivals who have ex employees in positions of influence and power. None of that proves an agenda obviously but does offer some explanation as to why we as City fans might be a little upset.
The press are currently acting like a man insisting their dog is a big old softy whilst it is currently sat in your kids pram taking a dump with the remains of your partially eaten favourite child.

Pep specifically said it wasnt about Sean Cox or Hillsborough..... Here's how Sky interpreted that press conference :
Headline - "
Pep Guardiola 'sorry' after Man City players filmed singing Liverpool chant"
"City's version of the song allegedly made references to the Hillsborough tragedy and the attack on Liverpool fan Sean Cox by Roma fans outside Anfield in April 2018."
Fucking scandalous that.

They are acting like the Nazis or Pol Pot's mob imo.

So can someone ask Klopp, if a someone planned to attack you a week in advance on your way to work,then carried out that attack with the connivance of local law enforcement, wrecked your car and was never held accountable by the law. Would you be worried about singing a song offending them?Fucking scandalous that.

In Pep's press conference another red shithouse Dom McGuinness asking about the vacant Juve job. Pep put him in his place and told him he isn't going anywhere. You wouldn't think we had a Cup Final. Cockroaches.
Part of the intention of the smear campaign is to put Pep off and tarnish the club to ward off new potential players from joining (or physically prevent us from signing players)
In the aftermath of Pep joining you could see that he couldn’t get the ‘agenda’ around the club, and wasn’t with the fans on it
That’s changed now. Pep and the players get it, and they’re showing it on the pitch. This is galvanising us
It’s difficult not to feel some sympathy for Watford in all of this, as preparations for a special day in the club’s history have been greatly overshadowed.
Part of that is down to modern football.... Much of it, however, is down to the modern Manchester City.

I think we've peaked here. Miguel Delany is blaming the media ignoring the FA Cup final on City. If only someone had the power to talk about the FA Cup in a national newspaper instead of writing a 10th article about players singing a song. Someone like....The Chief Football Writer of the fucking Independent.
