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.

Are u talking about the online Muen? I buy the paper version every day. The back pages are always where i start. Each night they take it in turns to have city or utd on back page. Have not noticed any bias to utd.

Its the online version i think....people need to be aware that the stories that pop up are dependant on clicks and the amount of clicks each story generates gives them a ranking online, the more clicks on a story the higher its ranking and position on the website

The exact same stories tend to crop up elsewhere, so imo it's not necessarily just the MUEN site the clicks are being recorded from.

Yes, the MUEN online.

TBH I don't buy papers anymore. There's enough free garbage online without having to pay for it. I get my internet service free ATM.

It's fair to say we're flavour of the first part of the season. But to a man they are waiting for the first defeat or slip up.

Put it this way. If we beat Huddersfield away on Sunday, we should win our next 2 home games against Southampton and West Ham. That takes us to the Derby, and you just know what will follow in the press if United do manage to beat us and stop our unbeaten and winning run.

I can assure you, there will be at least 1 ex-United player or United biased pundit who will say even the ABU's will want United to beat City to stop them running away with the title.

After 1 game against a very average Newcastle side, Pogba is already warning City United will catch us. The press just love it.

And that last bit I love,whether he’s doing it intentionally or not spouting off,where as have any of our players come out after games spouting we’re gonna win the league no problem,history has shown spouting off the majority of times comes back to bite you on the arse..I like the fact we go on quietly doing it on the pitch,where as others want to shout how great they are after what should be in reality a routine win...
 
Motd2 the only game they showed from yesterday that included action other than a goal was ibrahimovich substitution and missed chance. Accompanied by the usual sycophantic commentary. Draw your own conclusions. Lol

Fair enough.

Pogba with Lukaku and Lingard celebrating after beating Newcastle. Don't worry, I'm not going to post the video. It's on the Daily Fail online for the 500mill+ plastics to watch.

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.

Don’t buy it...if they want to keep peddling that line, how is it ever going to change? Just seems such an easy and lazy narrative to pimp out. Hardly surprising if the ratio is 10 articles to our 1!

Spot on...Media have created the rag and dipper plastic fan base..constant positive publicity for decades
It's a media excuse so they don't have to help City grow our fan base
 
United have always been the footballing equivalent of the spice girls so let them get on with it , 6 seasons ago all the media talked about them on the pitch now it’s all about the dabber and things off the pitch, we’ve won the footballing battle and they are years behind us.

Listening to Woodward updating the NY stock exchange last week to shareholders was a joy to behold , rattling on about Facebook likes and Twitter followers like it’s some kind of trophy.

Ladymans article on Pogba today just highlights how fucking deluded the whole club and fan base are , have a read and have a laugh at some of the comments- any fan with even the slightest idea about football can see it, on the other hand the millions of armchair rags lap it up like a kitten does milk, tbf matchgoing rags I know can see through the bullshit.

Let them dominate the headlines for Pogbas latest hair colour , we are winning the battle on the pitch.

But the horrible fuckers do have an enormous fanbase who will search for stories on their club.
So if your not buying into The Mails constant Rag stories being part clickbait which helps get further revenue.

Whats your theory?
