So do you genuinely think United, Mourinho and his ‘parking the bus’ football has received more praise than Peps City this year?

Beyond belief some of the stuff written on this subject. Some fans are desperate to cling on to ‘lickle city’ and desperate to have something to moan about and play the victim.

Of course not. Murdoch and the other billionaires that own the media are desperate to give UAE owned clubs a fair shout . Same as RT show a nice balanced news. The World is democratically fair and honest.

Got lost i'm not clinging onto anything,you live on here as is your right i suppose but if you lifted your head you might just learn something

You have over 66k posts which is also your right but seems strange to accuse someone else of living on here.

You made a point clubs who park the bus get more praise than Pep. You also infer United get favorable media.

So hand on heart, having made both statements, do you think United and their style of football has got more praise this year than Peps city? I think deep down you know that is not true.

So same question without the deflection of humour.

Have united and their style of football got more praise than City and Peps this year?

I think united do get favourable media. It seems like anything rag positive makes the headlines. An example being their ladies team
Where as our fabulous season is being played down as much as possible. Yes we are receiving plaudits but they always come with a caveat

No of course they have not got more praise. City have got more praise.

Now I have answered that. Is the media inherently biased, especially when UAE interests are involved ?

I have not noticed it personally. There is negative coverage about the human rights aspect, but if what is written is true I would expect the media to report it rather than protect the sensibilities of football fans.

One thing I have learned about football is to detach the actual game from the wider issues surrounding it or otherwise you can end up losing the love for the game. That includes player wages, ownership etc.

That is something we can agree on,if you worry about wages etc you wouldn't love the game so much,best to keep that stuff where it belongs and just enjoy what happens on the pitch

Our "style" has definitely earned more plaudits , but the Rags have also had plenty of praise for grinding out results and finding a way to win trophies , if a football club has spent £600m on players in 3 seasons how is grinding out results praiseworthy ? It is the disparity of the praise that proves the media are just pandering to their paying customers i.e.Rags and Dippers , it will never change , as far as the media goes "its not personal , its business" and the sooner our supporters accept this the better .It really isnt worth getting wound up about , because WE are the CHAMPIONS :)
