Media Thread 2017/18

I see it as proof of our success really.

Yesteryear it was about who could give Barce or RM a game with them seen as the pinnacle of football excellance, now we are seen in similar light so it has become an acceptance of our superiority with a best of the rest seen as our potential competition.

The media have at least two good reasons to ignore our successes, first of all it is expected ie it is not news just repetition that we beat other teams and secondly that their main subscription base is not yet dominated by City fans.

Like that bit.

No offence but as soon as I read Talk Sport i stopped reading, they need to generate hits/listeners/controversy so they will say anything to get people phoning in. It is a mickey mouse station run to make money rather than be an honest broadcaster.

Unlike the BBC, who are totally impartial thanks to their Charter.

Liverpool have scored a lot less goals than us and have conceded more, a true force.

Yeah but if Mane hadn't been sent off we'd have only scored one at home to their 4/5 at ours......such fine margins in dipperville.

I love the repeated comments that we can't be a great team till we win multiple titles. They have airbrushed 2012, 2014, and 2016 out of history. If we win the league this year it will be seven trophies since 2011 (eight if you include the Rags' favourite the community shield).

Isn`t all media the same? utter shite. Don`t fall for it.

The fact that they're talking about us being a great team speaks volumes.
I would like to hear why the pundit who doesn't think we're great thinks why not.
I also don't think we need these no marks telling us their opinion.
This City team is the greatest we've seen, and we've seen some shite!

Not only that; the landscape has completely changed. When United and Arsenal dominated it was usually two top teams competing for the league. Now there are 5 or 6.

Just had a look at domestic trophies won from 2010/2011 by the 'big six'

Us 6 with probably a 7th shortly
Rags 4
Chelsea 4
Arse 3
Dippers 1
Spurs 0

Others
Leicester 2
Wigan 1
Birmingham 1
Swansea 1

I'd say that makes us the team of the 2010's so far and probably the team of the decade.
