So you didn't bother reading it but it's definitely negative? It's pretty much just fact based and it's not negative about Foden at all. This thread should be in Off Topic and renamed "Tinfoil Hat Wearers Anonymous".

Ok. Keep calm. You’re right, I didn’t read it simply because of the headline. Usually such articles continue in a negative tone.

But you know best as you obviously read everything- I refuse to agree to adverts & cookies so don’t open most stuff. That sometimes leads to misunderstandings.

Now, do you actually want to move the whole thread into off topic - or just my posts. Feel free

As long as it gets the scouse all fired up so they can be despatched through the season showboating with fuck all to back it up.

In 3 months time it'll be "oil cheats" and "They are buying the league" together with "Nobody stands a chance against the cheats", mark my words these cunts are going into freefall.

Scouse expectations will kill that squad.

agreed, looks like he made 386 appearance, o/w only 28% were in the premier league. 17% of his goals where in the premier league. Nothing against teams in Championship, league 1 & 2.

His supposed football insight is terrible. Stealing a living.

But it's not a "misunderstanding" is it? You'd have to have actually read it to "misunderstand". You couldn't even show any negativity in the headline.

I obviously know better than you in this instance as I did read it. That's how things work.

As for your "keep calm" nonsense, I had you as older than 12 years old, was I wrong ;)

I wish :-)
Honestly mate I admit, I just saw the headline in amongst all the other dross about us.
I was wrong - it happens

It goes on with a negative slant about Foden. So I didn’t bother downloading it.

"By his own admission, 2024-25 did not live up to Phil Foden’s high standards. From claiming the Professional Footballers’ Association’s player of the year award for the previous season, Foden dropped off dramatically. He attributed the problems on the pitch to various factors, including facing challenges “off the pitch mentally” and it is understandable that those affected his ability to perform. The 25-year-old is a generational talent, possessing everything his manager wants in a player, and he will be desperate to show it. Given the correct freedom, he should be the man leading the latest incarnation of Guardiola’s football and a new era at City."

Where's the negative slant? "Dropped off dramatically" is just a statement of fact, the rest of the paragraph is very positive about him.

Don't you think we should focus on the genuine twats in the media that are biased?

It's not our fault you're one of the 'turn the other cheek ' brigade. We all KNOW that there is a media bias in favour of the old top four, it's indisputable. So why do you feel the need to go out of your way to dig out fellow blues for being apparently paranoid.

Because the article wasn't negative at all, that's why! You're right, there is a media bias against us, but how is criticising the journalists that do support us going to help in that battle?

Gambling Debt. And lots of it.

Loved his betting and really got into cricket when he was over here and would spread bet on games. He owed Manchester and Liverpool bookies thousands.

It got so bad bad he actually asked the club to pay off his gambling debts. The club quite rightly told him to fuck off as we had hardly a pot to piss in at the time.

That's one of the main reasons he hates us so much

Different day same old biased bbc.

I drew their attention to this comment reminding them they are responsible for all content published on their platform and what’s being said is probably defamation.
They refused to remove it

It is defamatory unless the BBC can prove it is true. The BBC team is totally incompetent
 
The BBC are currently running an article (with a HYS) about the pressure on Slot due to the £ 300m spend, didn't even bother to read it but had a brief look at the HYS, the top post is from a guy who suggested that if Slot won no other P L title for the next 8 years he would have equaled Klopp, so not much pressure on Slot.
The next comment in reply to this was from a guy whose point was that Klopp was up against "the cheating Man City Juggernaut" so did great to win one title.
Just to test it out I reported this comment under the guise of it being defamatory, as the result of the investigation had not been announced - to my surprise the comment was taken down

And yet neutrals, none football folk and even some on here will have you believe city fans must all just be paranoid about the bias

Not me.

I've been screaming it from the rooftops for years.

The media in this country isn't just bias against MCFC it's has a clear and targeted strategy to try to undermine everything the club has achieved.

If the media were impartial that image in The Daily Fail "The wait is finally over" depicting Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and "Amorin" would have us in it instead of some gobshite who finished 15th last season.

They are fuming that we've irrevocably fucked up the top four for them.
