Does anyone think we are not complaining enough as fans at some of the articles that get written?

Maybe we should be more like Liverpool fans as much as we make fun of their victim mentality, in the same situation they'd bombard their office with letters of complaint and petitions until their editors or those above have to take notice.

Liverpool fans are the extremists of football, they behave like religious fanatics when their 'faith' is attacked or even questioned by taking direct action against the infidel.

For sure, but @jrb is right, those ads are a nightmare (on the iPhone anyway)

left side of address bar top of page click the aA and choose Show Reader View this gets rid of adverts You can also set it to open automatically for that website The only issue is some sites disable the option

Bbc keeping up it's standards this morning , article about Chelsea womens team with video of them scoring against City ladies . The video tape was so old there was a crowd!!

I see our game this evening has been postponed. We aren't playing according to BBC breakfast and BBC local news !!

Yes. Fans should reply to the club and article editors correcting all factual errors and politely request an edited article be published, error correcting. This needs to be done by a large coordinated number of fans and be fully fact checked. "Opinion" articles that include prejudice, false facts and the usual anti city stereotyping and tropes should be notified to the club by a large number of fans requesting the club to invite the writer to visit the club and meet the fans and a club PR person, who would thoroughly go through the article pointing out every word the fans were unhappy with an then publicly publish revised article and highlight the original errors. Cannot see it happening but they will write the shite until they are publicly shamed.

Surely this is already what the, (I expect) well paid PR department within the club should already be doing?

No, keep winning things, huge grins and watch those salty tears flow! I'd rather see a full trophy cabinet than worry about the negative press. Haters gonna hate regardless of what we do until the footballing demographic changes in this country, which will be a long, slow process.

How do you know they don't?

Oh I dunno, just a wild guess, maybe fueled by the lack of statement corrections published, and the continuation of such outright lies spouted regularly across the media...

Just like Everton, City will never be media darlings. Stuff them.

I am old enough to remember that Everton's success in the 1980s (with two titles) was often reported through a LFC filter by the press. They never got the credit they deserved from the media and, of course, were denied the chance to play in the European Cup.

See the Daily Mail are at it again.

Ex-Manchester City and Brazil forward Robinho 'tried to deceive his rape case investigators

Anywhere they can use Man City in the headline to connect us to something nasty they do it, regardless of the fact that all of the things cited in the article happened whilst he was playing for Milan.

BBC article on Leipzig's 2nd leg with Liverpool. Just the 2 mentions of Angelino not being given a fair chance by Pep.
