Good article by Adam Bate, well worth reading.
It's worth watching Martin Samuel on City on Sunday Supplement. Having done so then seen the comments above I think a number of you are missing the point. If you want more coverage and better coverage WE ALL need to do the same thing
1. Start reading every on line article about City.
2. If it's really negative (not just a possible snide dig) leave a comment (try not to sound too mental)
3. If it's good leave a positive comment, share on Twitter or Facebook (ideally comments should praise the writer - let's praise those who praise us - well done Adam Bate)
4. Never ever click on a rag story, even a negative one or to laugh at them it's all the same in the world of click.
This is a propaganda war, we will win or lose by Clicks (on the field we are battering them so that obviously helps)

United have legions of drones around the world desperate to feel a part of the premier league and will click on any old shite with their name on it.
To me the joke is on the advertisers as they pay good money to advertise products in those papers that are completely ignored or unavailable in the land of the drones.
It's a war we can't win.
Ignore the fuckers and eventually they will,die when they've limited their market to just the select few

A very good article. Would just add, it’s inevitable we are in the bottom 3 for tackles, as we nearly always already have the ball

I don't know if this has been mentioned but whenever City was mentioned Jeff Stelling kept banging on all through the match updates on Soccer Saturday that Vinny should have had a red card. He was like a dog with a bone. He also suggested that when Leicester hit the post that Silva had handled the ball on the line. His face was like a slapped arse when Le Tissier put him right.

As Manchester City continue to devour Premier League opposition, Pep Guardiola is being completely vindicated by his decision to stay true to his ideas about the game. His critics should accept that they are being proven emphatically wrong, writes Adam Bate.

Last season, we were all told, ad nauseum, that Guardiola had underestimated the Premier League. Doe this now mean that the experts underestimated Guardiola or that they had overestimated the Premier League?

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!
How does it change ?
Well over time but until then the media follow their subscription base as they always have done. Their market research tells them where to sell and as they struggle with the digital changes they put more and more resources into subscribers. They are struggling to keep up with technology as papers lose circulation so money or lack of it is the only motivater they need. Obviously if the journos are anti City and pro United this helps their current cause but forget fairness and truth when survival is the name of the game.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I think the change will be from the much younger generation whereas ADUG target the global base of new supporters throughout the world.

If you look closely the ball was going wide until it took a slight deflection of a City player and hit the post.Stelling is just another tosser who hates us.The only one with a brain on that programme is Matt le Tiss.I don't know if this has been mentioned but whenever City was mentioned Jeff Stelling kept banging on all through the match updates on Soccer Saturday that Vinny should have had a red card.

I'm surprised Le Tissier still has a job on there, nowhere near sensationalist enough, he just tells it as it is.

He certainly comes across as someone who can actually string a decent sentence together as the rest of that crew are brain dead.I'm surprised Le Tissier still has a job on there, nowhere near sensationalist enough, he just tells it as it is.

Be honest, he's hardly hampered by the opposition is he. Merson, Thompson and Nicholas aren't exactly renowned for their razor like wit and sparkling repartee. It's become a 'jobs for the boys' programme and is far worse as a result.

Let's keep fingers crossed for Hartlepool in the FA cup and our kids putting 10 past them.

The whole setup needs revamping as is it outdated, as it is dull and full of stupid analysis. Dont watch any of it.

Wasn't Matt Le Tissier the player that was vilified during his playing career because he was studying for a University degree whilst playing football? Obviously has the brains whilst most of them just have the braun. He wasn't 'one of the lads'!!!

He couldn't go to the city game without mentioning it. Even when going over the half time scores after reading ours out we had to hear Kompany should have gone. I genuinely don't think I have ever seen a reaction like that. The suggestions Silva handled the ball was laughable, he was a very desperate man Saturday. We had just scored a quick, exciting counter attacking goal with a great finish and that was his reaction. Bonkers

I remember when we played them at Maine Road (third round I think) and Tueart stuck one on their centre half. Newcastle supporters seemed more upset about it than Hartlepool's, but perhaps Stelling is carrying a long term grudge.

He does seem to genuinely dislike us. I can't stand the guy.

More like shining wit - and that's definitely a Spoonerism.
