The second goal was in the 90th minute. A one-goal lead at City is the definition of edgy!

Nice piece from Lineker on meeting Guardiola on the BBC.

BBC today in the summary box on their live updates page...

Machester City Edge Past Shakhtar Donetsk. Score 2-0.
Spurs Thump Apoel Nicosia. Score 3-0.

That's a fine margin between an edging and a thumping!

Spurs had 59% possession, 16 shots, 4 on target.

We had 56% possession, 18 shots, 7 on target, including a penalty miss.

Definite media bias.
 
We didn't play anywhere near our best and scored to seal the game in the 90th minute. We edged it in comparison to previous weeks, no bias here.

2nd half we controlled the game and despite the odd nervy moment were largely comfortable. It could, and probably should, have been double the score it finished. I didn't watch the Spuds game so don't know how that panned out but I definitely don't think we merely 'edged' it. That said, I don't really think 3-0 constitutes a 'thumping' either. I think those descriptions have simultaneously made CIty appear worse and the Spuds appear better.
 
Sky News at 8.20 this morning .......
Spurs 3-0 win covered showed one of the goals and an interview with Harry Kane, then to
Madrid and Bale showed the first (excellent) goal then to
Liverpool and showed their equaliser then ............

Cardif who are now second. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my wife wants to know if I am having an affair as i said I was at the match last night.
 
They must think that if they ignore us then we will go away. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Sky blue elephants very much in the room.

Don't worry. Frank and Blue Phantom will be along to explain why it's not an agenda when the media consistently ignore a City win. The Fail's football stories this morning are in order: Liverpool's game, Spurs' game, Leipzig's game (one of their players was subbed because the Besiktas fans' noise made him feel dizzy. I shit you not.), Wio on Kane, Pochettino on Kane, Ronaldo's contract negotiations, Atletico's Costa deal, Beckham's deal with Sky and then City's game. So Liverpool 1st, Spurs 2nd and City 9th. Happens all the time.
 
I get the feeling that most of the media have the idea if they don't have a bad word to say about us its best if they just say nothing. That twunt Humphrey on BT last night seemed genuinely frustrated that Dunne and Lescott didn't want to play the usual games he plays with Camel Gob and Stevie G. As for Darke and Owen Hawkings, they only thing they offered in the commentary last night was a shared hope that Shaktar got something from the game.

Win = Swept under carpet Lose = Milk for all its worth

Pretty much the opposite of what happens to all our main rivals. Its all in our heads mind.

I just hope we have a serious dust allergy by the end of may.

I imagine Cardiff are bemused as to why they're second this morning.
 
Had to laugh at the Utd PR machine last night, that corporation most know as the BBC.
Included this gem in the match report " City were expected to steamroller their opponents". Really. By who? The Russian champions, top seeds in the group who had just beaten a very good Napoli side. I think none of us expected to steamroller them and clearly written by a Rag.

Then the headlines 'Spurs cruise to win" (changed this morning) and "City claim hard-earned win". No problem with ours, they were a very very good side but lets look at the facts. Spurs game: 15 shots with 3 on target for Apoel and 16 shots with 4 on target for Spurs. That tells me it was a closer game than the score suggests but Spurs just more clinical against a team who have never kept a clean sheet at home in the CL then our stats 18 shots with 7 on target and Shakt 6 shots and 2 on target. Sounds like we restricted them, remember a very good team, more than Spurs against their groups whipping boys
 
'Kinell .... they are all at it. Even Planet Rock, a rock music radio station .... They do the 'Rock n Roll Years' every weekday between 9 and 10 am. They play songs, have clips of TV and movies etc, and you need to guess the year .... They do mention what was happening in football that year too, usually who finished top or won the FA Cup.

Today ..... 'In this year, Manchester City were relegated, despite a net spend of over £5m' .....

So true, I'm just waiting for the next Ottomendi lunge or Stones error for the "serious doubts about them at the back" stuff to reemerge, ignoring the fact that it's been 10 or 15 or 20 games since their last mess up. Every defender makes mistakes these days.

that is.....really fucking petty!!

i'm a fence sitter on a lot of this media chat, i obviously know plebs like Jackson and most of them have biases and teams they support and little grudges, but this has persuaded me that they are so petty as to cheer a penalty miss for a genuinely great achievement, IN THE GROUND, that why shouldnt this small mindedness spill over into everything they write and say.

edit: if it's the Ukranian journos, if there are that many there, then fair do's.

Yeah I heard that too.Don't think I've heard them mention the teams that got relegated before and I've definitely never heard them mention money.I'll be contacting them shortly to inform them I won't be listening to their shit station any longer.And I don't want to split hairs,but I think they actually described it as a 5 million pound spending spree
