The 4 top articles in the Daily United are about Pep and City. Lol!

I wonder why?

Like you and every other Blue, I've been tearing out (what's left of!) my hair since we've been on this dreadful run.. but I must say that there HAS been an upside to it all, in that I no longer have to use my magnifying glass to find articles about City in our sports media! Let me explain.

When we were sweeping all before us, winning cups and titles 'like the Assyrian coming down on the fold' (as Lord 'This City is ours..' Byron put it), I had to resort to such extreme measures as the magnifying glass in order to find updates* on my precious Blues. It used to be so difficult to find ANYTHING written about us.. why, sometimes you wouldn't even think we were playing that day, such was the sparsely hidden nature of reports on us!

But now, thanks to Pep and the Boys, all is changed and I can read* a plethora of news and bad tidings about us on every conceivable sports news platform, day in, day out, thus consigning my magnifying glass to the top drawer of the chest of drawers and therefore reducing my problem with eye strain!

Every cloud has a silver lining, what?!

(* Disclaimer - let me emphasise, I NEVER read what those venal, tribal twunts in the client media say about our club!)

There were a good few negative ones which, when yer were winning all before you, just amounted to a heap of envious bile. Now, there's a little bit of glee in the Year 3 scribblings. I even saw a league table the other day which was based on current form. Wouldn't have appeared had we not been in it. We're slightly better off than Wolves 'n some other club I think.
 
I, simply, don't click on articles about City, positive or negative, anymore.

When I did, I found for every leading City positive, there was a caveat article for balance. For every negative article, there wasn't the same counterbalance, so I don't bother with it.

I'm much happier that way.

Love how much of the media has invented the narrative that our bad run is just because Rodri is out, failing to recognise our mass injury list outside of Rodri

Except we don't have an injury list that is spectacular if you rule out Rodri. It is an issue I suppose because we have a small squad. Our main problem is too many people on the wrong side of the hill and poor recruitment. Also a manager who appears caught in the headlights and increasingly clueless in the face of adversity.

Post of the day. Just wish many others would follow. Whateverwe do it will NEVER be accepted by the majority. Just accept it. Life will be so much more pleasurable.
WE aren't little city from league 1 anymore.
We aren't everyones favourite 2nd club anymore.
We are hated. I feed off the hatred with a warm glow knowing we have hurt them.
We are perenial winners and people/hacks hate winners.

A burnley fan messaged me this morning.
'Worst ever defense of a league by a premier league champion'....I didn't reply however the irony of that message did make me chuckle. 'Champions'...not only champions but 4 time on the spin champions'..

They choose to ignore the achievements and focus on the negativity. Thats what happens in life and the prime offenders are the media.

As I have said before. RELEGATE US. My love for my team will only grow stronger

Disagree on the "we don't have an injury list that is spectacular if you rule out Rodri". We've had most of our key players either out or playing but not 100% for much of the past 2 or 3 months. Not many teams, if any, could deal with that
