It would be nice to have a positive slant on things ....I guess you don't remember the red circles around the empty seats.... unbiased paper my arse

I do, and it was wrong, but that had nothing to do with Brennan.

I had a bit of a run in with stuart brennan over one of his articles once and still dont understand why we have a rag covering city. But to be fair he has stepped up. I think he has at least tried to understand what it is to be a blue and to try and see things from our perspective. He has written some good articles recently and has even been on bm to clarify a few points so i am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. That said i very rarely read the muen these days - its just not relevant any more. You get far better insight from some posters on this forum. Still have absolutely no idea why meun cant find a city fan to cover city, it stinks really but that says more about the muen than it does about brennan.
Paul hince used to piss me off big time with all his 'gods own club' bollocks. I could have done a better job than him. As for peter gardiner what a lagubrious cnut he was - the frank clark of journalism.

1st Polite question - are you going to keep this crusade up all season???

2nd Polite question - why do you do it - what do you get out of it - what are you looking to achieve?

I have just turned SSN on for the 1400 show expecting to see them leading on CITY's win over RM. As at 14.17 the only CITY related thing has been the cost of Walker and the unavailability of Mendy. Fuck - they played the clip of Pep mentioning Mendy's unavailability during a post-match interview without even saying something like:

"..........Pep, speaking after City's victory against Real Madrid last night............."

I used the time to catch up on this thread - and I would politely suggest that you do need to ask yourself just why you are on, what seems to be, a crusade.

We get it - in your mind there is no bias - but can you not just give it a rest, or at least reduce the volume, and let some of those that are convinced that there is bias to have a bit of space to discuss the topic amongst themselves - it is if you are seeking to deny that right.

I think that you have posted 17 times in the last few pages FFS.

Great - have your view - but why do you feel the need to force it down the throats of those of us that do not share it? If we can all fully accept that it is your right to have your view - why can you not tolerate others having theirs?

I know it is a forum and the idea is to exchange views / banter about topics, but IMHO your approach goes way beyond that - clearly evidence, IMO, by the number of your posts in recent pages - this is why I describe it as a crusade.

Edit to say that having kept SSN on I now see some coverage, but:

It was in the 'Premier League' update section. This section was of course presented in order of priority, which was:

• such a noteworthy topic as James Milner carrying an injury which lasted 2mins
• (UNDERSTANDABLY) it was placed behind the dramatic topic of the what possible reasons could PEG have for not starting the scum's new signing alongside Bailly - another 2 mins on this
• 3rd item up was PEG's criticisms of some of the spending in the transfer market - backed up by an interview with the independent thinking guru Mike Phelan - only worth 1 min this but at the same time SSN were advertising their 'Man Utd - Barca Talking points' online coverage
• Then at last let's turn to CITY - a clip that showed the goals and a brief clip of Pep and Stones. The clip was at 1438 and lasted 3 mins.

Now I know that you are a fair-minded chap - so does that sound about equitable to the same level of scum wankfesting that has been going on recently on SSN?

In my original post I didn't mention Brennan but I do stand by my opinion that the muen is a fucking rag mag.
We all have differing opinions and it's good we don't all agree on everything otherwise the blue moon forum would be boring

It is like last night did not happen.

LOL

You think all city fans agree with the utter fuckin bollocks thats wrote on here?

Most of the stuff Frank writes is spot on, he may go to far on defending some dodgy stuff, but overall he holds.his own.

I can almost sense some city fans craving negativity in the press to keep this paronoid shit going.

 

[super_city_si]

I see the rags defeat was buried as a byline in our match report on the BBC under the general gist of it was better to lose than to win all 3 friendlies (even though they drew with RM)

Agree some of the comments are a bit sensitive but this is just one thread on BM from 3,271, let them have their say. It's not as though the rag tabloids are going to stop having their say.

I don`t remember that piece being written by SB and I know for certain that he was furious about that incident.That person was never to be seen on the Sports Desk again.

In fairness that was that lunatic Maureen who came out with the statement "we needed to be beaten by Barca".

It's a shame, because there are some legitimate grievances with the media coverage that the club receives but threads like this (and the previous "agenda" ones) just get clogged up with petty gripes about fairly trivial stuff, and it cheapens the argument. As a result, outsiders are less sympathetic when we have genuine cause to complain, because we're seen, rightly or wrongly, as a somewhat paranoid fanbase.

It's better to rise above most of the stuff that is written about us. The newspaper industry is in steady decline, and our successes are all the sweeter knowing that the likes of Ogden, Jackson etc are willing us to fail.
