Yep. The bots are programmed to immediately delete posts with such ‘trigger words’. Happens all the time with the Telegraph and The Times. They are all just totally petrified of the scousers.

I must get rid of my spell checker, falt=fault.

Syed must have been reading on here yesterday...

Sorry, guys. Think I triggered a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon by triggering the ****.

Hi Matthew, you ****.

Slightly odd article in the Guardian.

Nothing much wrong with it, as it's pretty positive, and simply talks about the contribution of the whole squad to the FA Cup run.

The only thing I find odd is that City used less players than United (26 to 22 or 21 to 20 if you take out subs who only played a few minutes). Guess it's just filler, with half a dozen pre-match articles for each team, and he was given City to cover - but it does feed the big squad myth.

Why Manchester City owe their FA Cup run to the power of the collective

While a strong side will start at Wembley on Saturday, a rotating cast has helped propel City through the earlier rounds

Think Will Unwin's a blue, no?

He’s great on twitter though his crime posts can be a little grim just because of the nature of it.

Has the Daily Mail rehashed the reason why City won’t have any Emirates Fa cup logos on the shirt for their readers to get angry about yet?

Not that I’m especially arsed how ‘massive‘ we (or any other club) are in South America, but other sad fucks clearly are - hence the lie.

I am, and I see it every day

Yet more bullshit on the BBC website this morning about photographs of City and utd players.
Some geezer called Mike Henson has put his name to it.
The underlying narrative is that City pics don't sell, and the world wakes up to utd pics.
I'm actually in admiration for the multitude of different negative news directions the media Johnny's can create to have a pop at us and massage the rags ego's. It takes journalistic shithousery to new levels.
Every day there is a new one.

This article is just as low as it gets. Absolutely ludicrous. How it has even made a story I don’t know.

Well I do know because the rag hordes want to hear that they are big and we are small so they made an article up !

If you have to go out of your way to create the narrative that we are a small club and post about it every day, then you're already losing.
