The narrative is just set different when it comes to city, we get lucky, other teams grind out wins when they aint playing well, when teams dont score against us they are wasteful, when teams dont score against the rags, dippers and arse it is good defending, you only have to look at yesterday.

Arsenal were playing southampton at home, went behind and southampton hit the post but the headline was saka inspires arsenal to come back win despite arsenals equaliser coming from southampton attempting to play out from the back. We played fulham at home who are currently sixth having lost once all season and only conceded one goal per game and our headline is city punish wasteful fulham, see the difference, the headline about us is honest but nods to the point we got lucky, it doesnt with arsenal.

Also on sky there is another headline that says liverpool serious title contenders as city show flaws when you look behind it tho the reality is that liverpool have played ONE team in the top ten so far who they lost two whereas our flaws are apparently only winning 3-2 against a team who have conceded only one goal a game all season while missing two of our best players and coming off the back of a european game.

They spin it how they want, always have.

Bang on. Yesterday Sly said we edged past Fulham whilst Liverpool continued their impressive start with a 1-0 win at Palace!

Two 1 goal margins; both reported differently!

This is the narrative that we have to constantly contend with. If you had read these headlines without knowing the scores, you’d assume City dropped points.

Indeed they do. We don't ever seem to hear the 'mark of champions' shit that used to get trotted out when the rags were wank and the ref gifted them an injury time penalty.
Also, all the 'fat lady has started singing' shit - the fat lady seems to have died when kun scored that goal in may 2012.

and we didnt need ANOTHER absolutely appalling reffing decision to get there either but we will just gloss over that.

Nah she didnt, shes playing left back for the rags

Player interviews are boring at the best of times. Empty platitudes and clichés galore.
What makes the broadcasters think this will be interesting tv?
Now, if an ear-piece got passed around each player during the game, so they could be interviewed while actually playing, that would be swell!

How about something really innovative, like just letting us watch the game.
