I think it's the way of there modern world.

Henry Winter asked an interesting question on the Sunday Supplement. He asked whether Shaun Custis had come into football journalism so he could write about football or write about press conferences. Custis' answer was that writing about the press conferences was often more interesting. Sadly, the days of reading a report so you knew what had happened in the match are long over. We all are able to watch highlights of every game even if we don't watch it live, so we know what happened. What is left is option and analysis, which is great, and gossip.

Unfortunately there are about three journalists who are any good at providing decent analysis or capable of offering an interesting opinion, and there is an absolute shitload of scribblers offering gossip masquerading as news.

The terribly polite way Winter belittled Custis' gutter level was excellent to watch. It's clear that the two have a bit of history about that type of thing.

How on earth has he been given that position and allowed to write pieces like that for a local and supposedly impartial paper. I never normally pay attention to MEN because I no longer live in Manchester but I am shocked. And they call us bitter...
 
Just seen that Virgin Trains West Coast will no longer sell the Daily Fail. bit of a protest from the DF but as VT do not offer the Beano or the Dandy they cannot moan too much.
 
Not 1 media outlet reporting that we beat Bristol City with 10 men and instead concentrating how we made a meal of beating another championship side.

Playing with Yaya is like playing with 10 men.

Wouldn't really expect them to report on it, when you had to explain what you meant...

Just wondering if Sam Luckhurst and "Andeee" are one and the same person.

Apart from Brennan who is a Rag but does write some decent stuff about our club the rest of the MUEN sports hacks are Rags , Luckhurst , Porter , Robson ,and all the other arse wipes , its a toss up which has more bias Yooonited We Stand or MUEN , since MGN took the paper over they totally ignore the dominance we have in football in Manchester just to generate clicks.
 
Bellamy on The Debate was giving it: "We have teams like man city who are owned by countries now a brilliant club like Liverpool as fantastic a club as they are can't compete with that money" Really Bellamy? They just broke a transfer record on a CB... He was doing quite well up until he let his inner dipper take over and the bitter money jibes ensued.
 
London evening standard reporting that sanchez has agreed personnel terms with us. I suppose it still depends on arse though whether it goes though.
 
The DT this morning with the individual player scores totalled up have Bristol seven points ahead of us. And it's all about 'Brave' Bristol! They did give it a go, unlike some of the relegation fodder that has turned up at the Etihad this season, and they had the usual number of our goal bound shots blocked, a good number of which they knew little about, but where does the 'brave' come into it.

Radio 2 this morning mention that 'Bristol took a shock lead'! Any City fans shocked with Bristol's goal? Not me! It's often par for the course. In fact, it is one of the chief characteristics these days where we concede and still churn out the win, but with an iffy Stonesy emulating another variation on Saturday's miskick, The Mangler wobbling any time he got the ball, and Claudio dithering here and there, it was not in the least a shock! I would have been shocked had we been down three nil at HT!
 
"So many outstanding performances for Bristol City so who's your man of the match?"

Just one example of the embarrassingly one sided commentary last night
 
The funny thing is the amount of "show the way to beat Man City" stories in the last few weeks. Apparently Burnley showed the rest the way to play us (they lost 4-1) and last night now its Bristol City showing the best way to take us on, despite us winning with 1/2 a team out, a shit ref and us having 26 shots on goal where if we were 1/2 decent in front of goal we could have had 4.
 
The media agenda is alive and well, now taking the form of 'Dirty Arab Oil Billions'.

They can no longer deny our excellence, in almost every aspect of the club, so resort to concentrating on the money.

These are the same moronic hacks who never mentioned money when the Dippers and the Rags were buying their way to success.

The difference is, of course, that they deserved the money and somehow we don't. And the irony is, they are both still spending more on individual players than us, but that doesn't count, because those players are worth the money (Pogba and VVD), but ours aren't (KDB and Walker).

C*nts, the lot of 'em!

We are the outstanding form team in Europe, never mind England. We're racing away with the league, nailed on to win it and unbeaten, thumping the likes of the rags, spurs and arsenal. We've only lost one match all season and everyone, even in the media, accepts that it was a dead match to us
Yes we were poor in our decision making in the final third of the pitch and they rode their luck a bit, but Bristol City gave it a real shot last night and were much pluckier opponents than the majority of Premier league teams that have visited the Etihad this season
The reports are bound to give them lots of credit this morning. They were two minutes from taking an away draw to the second leg
 
Imagine if United had beaten Bristol City after being a goal down, with an injury-time winner by Lukaku or Rashford. What would the headline stories have been?
"Brave United youngsters in epic fight-back"
"United class tells as Lukaku justifies his fee/ Rashford genius secures heroic win"
"United leave it late but get deserved win"
