I do actually think there is a bias against us in the media mainly because I think the media are (almost undeniably) significantly pro united and pro Liverpool and I believe it's a by-product of that as much as anything. I think the problem we have on here is that once stuff gets highlighted that isn't genuinely biased against us the issue gets diluted and the argument is lost. I'm sure there is some genuine bias, it's just difficult to find it amongst the paranoid ramblings.That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. That's the sort of opinion we get on here all the time. The paranoia is usually magnified in the week before a derby so watch this space.
Neville was bleating on about our shoddy defence again and how we can be got at.....yet failed to realise we've only let one more in than utd!! Like all the other 659m dickheads out there the pain of seeing us score from being behind must burn his stomach up.
Boo hoo.
Whilst some pundits clearly have a bias for certain teams I think some of the things fans pick up on as anti-city bias is just garbage opinions or commentary.Yep, I'm absolutely sure every neutral did celebrate West Ham's goal. A team on a run like City's going behind to one struggling? That's what football's about and always has been - otherwise what's the point in watching?
I never really get how much abuse Martin Tyler gets. He's said himself he sometimes gets the reaction a bit wrong - in other words, he's human. And City were poor (for them) first half yesterday, and very good second half. Reflecting that is his job.
Yeah, I agree there’s definitely some of that, although I think the pro-United ergo anti-City link is overstated . Also, “Filthy Rich City underachieving” has always been a more interesting story to neutrals than City doing well.I do actually think there is a bias against us in the media mainly because I think the media are (almost undeniably) significantly pro united and pro Liverpool and I believe it's a by-product of that as much as anything.

He will always come in his pants if a rag scores though.
There will always be reporting of which we disapprove, but we have no more right than any other fans to try to censor the media or demand that that report on us only in terms of which we approve. Does that remind you of the plastic fans of another club?
I'm not aware I've ever said we haven't.But we have every right to be annoyed by it and discuss it on here.
I can't get past Tyler's commentary in the Liverpool game when they won the title. Compare his reactions to Liverpool's and our goals and they couldn't have been more different.
He may have been trying to capture the mood or whatever but for me he got it spectacularly wrong. Been a few other occasions where we've scored and he"s sounded absolutely gutted.
Don't really care where it's bias or anything. Far too much time and effort is spent trying to prove there is a bias against us, and far too much time is spent trying to label blues as paranoid for thinking there is a bias.
For me it's just bad commentary and I don't see why so many people have such a problem with us discussing it on here.

Some of the paranoia is definitely rooted in Reds-Under-The-Bed insecurity which still affects an element of our fan base, even though we overtook them years ago.
Everybody sub-group in society bonds though a common enemy I suppose, so whether it’s referees or the media or UEFA, it’s always going to happen on here and everywhere else.
Incidentally we don’t hear much of the great Red referee conspiracy these days.
I don' read the red tops and deafness prevents me from listening to the radio, so my recent experiences are limited. I do, however, have three commentsI do actually think there is a bias against us in the media mainly because I think the media are (almost undeniably) significantly pro united and pro Liverpool and I believe it's a by-product of that as much as anything.

Blame me for that.He doesn't know the rules then,it wasn't a dive anyway,he hates us that bloke
Go on then what is my problem ? and bearing in mind I highlighted what I see as rubbish reporting to save you having to guess, i am amazed you had to read my post twice.
A genuinely good, no, very good goal is described in that manner, come on. I fully accept we are being praised by many pundits but if a reporter cannot accurately describe a well executed shot he needs another career.
Sorry mate, I'm not getting sucked into this kind of paranoid shite.
