To be fair it would be on if it was at Exeter,and I know you’ll say the Dippers are on and like City’s tie it’s at home so pretty unlikely to be an upset,but we’re not even close to the plastic pull that the dippers have,their home fixture will get infinitely more clicks and views than City’s…..it’s just facts……this is what pisses me off when people compare us to the dippers and the rags with the Emptihad etc etc,remember the FACUP final semi against Forrest…we didn’t sell out,our reasoning and one I 100% agree with,was we’d been to Wembley year on year constantly,it wasn't a novelty…we were waiting for the final(which we sold out).
That’s what annoyed with that Forrest supporting **** who videoed the full Forrest end and then showed city’s unfilled end….it was a fucking novelty for Forrest whilst city had taken over 1 and half million fans there over about a decade,the **** clickbait shaming us.
The ONLY two clubs who probably in the same situation as city I.e a decade of unprecedented success who would have filled their end for just a semi are the dippers and the rags,their support is gargantuan to ours,because they have generations of fans cos of their winning(dippers 70s/80s)rags(90s/00s)….the younger city fans now who’ve known nothing but success will have kids and then they'll have kids….thats what the dippers/rags have that we don’t….it’ll take time,them 40 plus years in the wilderness destroyed us and to make things worse look who our neighbours our.

I'm convinced the TV companies are showing the Rags more just to boost their income. I'm sure someone more clever than me could put the stats up on here

Just had Talksport on as I went to buy my weekend wine, Warnock suddenly came out with
" I love Pep me, look how he turned it round in a year, "

TWAterface and the South coast rag, were dumbfounded, silence , nothing , wasn't on script,

Twatty, "Villa are going great" totally ignored Warnock.

I know.

We turned it off before the analysis at the end of the game, have watched clips, its either fawning over Real Madrid or talking about Arsenal because of Laura Woods

I often wonder what Joelyn Lescott etc thinks

I really liked Lescott as a player.
As a pundit he isn't articulate or clever enough to represent City in the media.
He seems to have decreased the use of the word "definitely", when answering a question, though.
Get Nedum or Mikey Brown on TNT as know far about the Team's tactics, also they may stand up for City more positively...

Well, it’s probably a two way thing as this has been going on since the dawn of the PL. Last season the Rags were shown almost as much as the eventually winners and runners up, 30 for Dippers, 29 for the Arse, and 28 for the Rags. These showing figures are pretty normal and to put it into perspective, we, the then current champions were shown 25 times, Palace and Hammers 18 times, and Fulham 14 times. Those extra showings then moved the Rags above all 3 of them in total prize money, even though they finished directly below them in 15th.
 
On the Friday Night Football Social on 5 live Darren Fletcher has referred to City as Manchester United (then quickly corrected himself), always on their mind! And some Geordie ex pro who is so famous I don’t know who is he said City are getting back to their dark arts of fouling all the time like they used to in their pomp. I think he’s on crack.
 
We had 22 games on TV in the FA Cup in a row. Thankfully the run is broken but we have a few spoilt lot obsessed by mutd who think it should be every game and go into meltdown if it isn't.

22. It may be £10, £15 again like last 3rd round, so it won't break the bank to go.
