Media discussion - 2025/26

I am getting fed up with Shamoon Hafez's writing on Manchester for BBC Football.

Just cover City professionally without an agenda. The latest article focused on Real Madrid and Alonso, and not City.

He's a rag, who writes for a website run by rags, for rags.

Their core audience don't want to read pro-City content.

Called me paranoid but they were subtly trying to coax a snippet about 115 and Peps contract situation in my opinion. To be fair though Gary Linekar has been fair with City in the most part. I get the feeling Shearer hates us, probably though jealousy. He always seems to pander to United though .

Pandering all over the dippers as well last night on Prime the bald cnut.
If you're so Newcastle then don't pander to any of the cartel.
Loves impressing his paymasters

I’m at work but listening to 5 live pre the Madrid game, the collective hard ons for Madrid/Mbappe/the Bernabau is actually nauseating.

Further down on the main BBC News page now.

It’s fucking unreal and utterly shameful how BBC United are reporting the game from a Real Madrid perspective . If it was United instead of City the reporting would all be about United.

Maybe BBC-Real Madrid have an office in Madrid?

 

[york away to this!]

Cunts on TNT.
Madrid, Madrid, Madrid, Madrid, Madrid...
Etc

 

[willipp]

Let me guess, mcmanamananan and mccoist spunking their knickers any time Madrid go forward.

Turned the tv on here and then straight off….some Sheila, SlippyG and fukin McPointalot

 

[Wallaceinthecheapseats.]

Yep ,two scouse commentators wanking over Madrid on tnt ,mute button on.
You really would think that Madrid are the English side.
They take the piss.
I hope we smash these just to hear them squirm.

 

[Gesario]

Cunts on TNT.
Madrid, Madrid, Madrid, Madrid, Madrid...
Etc

Shearer looked like he had swallowed a hive of bees. He has a big hatred for us you can sense it

Ally McCoist is alright and that's about it.

 

[Blueboy73]

It’s bollocks. There was a period of time when the only academy player on the team sheet was Johnny O’ Shite - who they bought as a 17 year old from Waterford Bohemians.

I was about to post the same thing when I saw the latest Rag lie published by our so called impartial national broadcaster.

Perhaps Raggy Stone can explain how a player signed as a professional from another club can be classed as an academy player.

 

[Blueboy73]

Talkshite we're discussing it earlier. Their fans were saying it's because tickets were £60/100 each and had gone up massively this season compared to last. Simon Jordan, checked the stats online and said that even when tickets were cheap for European games last season, they still couldn't sell out.

Weird, if that's the case, why do media never call them out like they do us

If we'd have won fuck all bar one Thursday night cup and one league cup in over 3 decades, nothing would be said about us.

 

[Axel Freed]

Ally McCoist is alright and that's about it.

He is but he’s been being slowly turned to fit the anti City narrative.

Nico, an academy kid, scores his first CL goal away from home to Real Madrid in the bernabeu and Ally couldn’t have been more low key in his commentary. Like he’d just won a fucking throw in or something

 

[BringBackSwales]

I know some will say it doesn’t need a thread in the main forum but he is so anti City it needs saying in here. Magnificent fighting win for City and all the Madrid obsessed **** can do is say how disappointed he was with Madrid. The wee ****. There used to be a huge bond between City and Rangers but nobody told him. And breathe

 

[geoff hammond]

“City win in Bernabeu for only the 2nd time“
As if teams go and win there regularly.
Quick google and United have never won there and only beaten them 2 times at home.
But they have history, don’t they….?

I think it's TNT as a whole who are anti city.
His nobhead sidekick was throwing out Madrid excuses all game.
Fuckin dweebs the pair of them.

90% of viewers are watching to see us lose, he has to behave accordingly

He works for Talksport.
He is a **** who used to be only half a ****
