Media manipulation...

In the Bolton Evening News their headline is

Former Man City star Bob Taylor says Bolton will be relegated

I think that carries about as much credence

He has a habit of setting himself up for a fall, look at last weekend's tweet:

Now off to The Bridge, see what the Chelsea boys have got for us today! And more importantly we'll be showing them what we're all about!!

Just goes to show you, how many City or rag players are tweeting who will finish higher NONE!!! so I guess that goes to show how important he and his club really are.

Re: Sam Ricketts taunts Manchester City with a Premier pred.....

whats the problem? he thinks utd will win the title, its called an a opinion hes not slagged us off.
how touchy do some people get????

Most people seem to have missed the whole point that I was making. He wasn't taunting us, he just expressed a reasonable opinion that utd are still favourites which I would agree with him on - if only to put the pressure on them and because they dont quit etc... My point was that it was another typical example of media manipulation but guess I should have pointed that out explicitly from the start instead of hinting at it.

I'm pretty sure most of the people on this thread haven't read the OP or the actual article, but have just replied with bristling indignation based on the headline. Which is what the MEN wanted, I suspect.

This.

Thanks Sam, I look forward to your valid assessment of our title chances at 4.50pm tomorrow...

I think we could see six or above tomorrow.
