I understand what they said but we have pep and you would have thought they would be really interested to discuss how he has got us playing like we are,they adored him from afar but now they have chance to look at his methods close up they are not interested and he said our success is boring,i just don't get that
They have been begging for us to have a blip so they can write about it,they confirmed that as well

Him coming to us cost the media billions in extra clicks then?

The interesting thing for me is that the Sunday Supplement effectively denigrated their own profession. Samuel went on to say that he had a good story about Sunderland but that it did not have the priority of a PSG match. Where has journalistic integrity gone it is clear that all the media want our clicks and they only care how they get them. It is clear that there is a bias towards certain clubs and the media have acknowledged that and they have also acknowledged the reasons why. Therefore no-one should ever challenge the fact that there is a bias we just have to accept it for now but there may come a time in the future when the roles are reversed

I agree with you the media have openly admitted there is a bias, the reason for it is immaterial, the bias is definitely there as most of us already new.
 
Don't buy it, don't read it, don't watch it. Switch off the "expert analysis". FFS, if you need Owen, Merson, Nicholas etc to tell you what's going on you're a lost cause anyway. Don't switch the matches on until 1 min before kickoff. Who wants to watch Brighton warm up while someone talks about Stoke? Don't click on their recycled, repetitive shite on Twitter. Don't phone 5 live. Don't get to it by clicking a link. Don't spend your time and money on them. Choose life.

There are 3 shows that used to be unmissable, but now are unwatchable. Soccer AM, Soccer Saturday and Sunday Supplement.

A few years ago Alan Green was on 606 moaning that City fans never phoned in, that we obviously weren't interested in talking about our club as "we make the show, not him". A fan phoned in to tell him we never called because all he did was slag us off. He started discussing it but then turned to slag us off. The fan simply said "See, you can't help yourself".

So don't feed them. Seriously, there's loads of options out there - unless you get some sort of perverse pleasure out of listening to and reading their shite....

That is not the point,we should be able to watch and listen to shows and expect fair and balanced discussion about us,Samuels said this morning it is all about clicks and revenue and we are not talked/written about unless we fuck up and we are currently the boring story,thats the first time i have heard 4 journo's admit to it

In a nutshell, stories about United generate more traffic (and thus revenue) than stories about City, hence why they get more exposure and positive coverage than us.

Hardly ground breaking revelations, admittedly, but confirmation of what we have long suspected from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

So how does the BBC fit in all this considering they have a mandate to be impartial and receive their fees through enforced public subscription.
 
I fucking hate all this "City are the new invincibles" shit the media are currently doing. Not a single person at the club has suggested we can go the whole season unbeaten yet they keep piling it on.
 
Don't think we go through session unbeaten we still play Liverpool away Chelsea spurs home away scum home and away too many tough games injuries players be tried

Frank.

It doesn't infuriate me. Honest.

I just like highlighting the obvious, mate. :-)

Even though we are top of the PL, 8 points clear, playing the best football, City's article's are still under numerous less worthy article's, such the England Rugby Union article, etc. I can fully appreciate the Daily Fail pampering to the Rags, Liverpool, Arsenal and to a point Chelsea()?, due to their larger fan base, but Spurs? Perhaps with Spurs it's a London thing?

However. The MUEN is a disgrace. There should be no bias, especially not by a local newspaper(?), which if we're honest is mainly read by Mancunians. As you know the MUEN's main team article/header is always United. They have made that decision. Which is then followed by numerous and at times pointless United filler articles as you scroll down the page. Eventually after wading through a load of social media tripe, stories, the distraction of ads, surveys, etc, you finally get to the main City article.

TBH, I'm surprised any City fan can be bothered read it, let alone any neutraul or general football fan wanting to read about City. The MUEN's reporting of both clubs isn't skewed, it's just plain biased. For a local Rag, that's disgraceful.

Only because you've constantly recommend it over the years. ;-)

Do you want the truth?

I used to queue up for the Pink Final at my local newsagents after the match. Then I'd go to the chippy next door. Then I'd watch match of the day later that saturday evening, waiting for the last 3 minute slot of the programme for City. A perfect saturday.

Years later I used to get it delivered.

Then I used to get it for free in town.

Then I began using it to light fires to burn leaves, paperwork, etc.

Now I wouldn't wipe my arse with it.

The only time I go on the MUEN website is to scroll through the business news, just to see if they have the odd new snippet.

That's after I've managed to get past all the adds, surveys, social media bollocks, etc.

But if you can make it add and survey free, get the Trinity/MUEN to employ a City supporting Journalist, and get the main City article stuck at the top of the page like the United one is, instead of at the bottom of the page near the MUEN contact number, then I might start reading it again.

On second thoughts, not a fucking chance. Rag infested Rag!

PS. Perhaps Trinity should move the MUEN sports department to the BBC at Mediacity.
 
What Samuel confirmed on Sunday Supplement is already what we all know , if we go undefeated , score 100 goals and win the quadruple , and the Rags have changed the colour of the netting in their goals , the Rags would be the headline , because there are 659m morons out there somewhere
 
I’m totally disgusted by the BBC, they couldn’t be any more anti-city if they tried. Let our football and results show them!! cnuts.
