Media Thread 2020/21

[Mr.Banks]

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Jake Humphries on BT saying our season was 'hanging by a thread', or something of the sort, as we came out for the second half was unbelievable.
Now defeat in CL las night would have been a blow no doubt, but with a FAC semi, a CC final and a 8/11 point lead in PL we'd have still had something to play for had we not turned it around!!!

I heard that and thought he must have been referring to Dortmund, as losing last night has ended their season. Maybe I was wrong. :-)

I don't recall this level of outcry/bedwetting/criticism in the media about sportswashing when we played PSG in the 2016 CL quarter final.

I actually think that sportswashing hadn't been mentioned much in 2016, it wasn't really a thing until Pep came in and we started to get really successful. Then those great humanitarians suddenly piped up, only took them 9 or 10 years. Or maybe they don't actually care much for it and just use it as a stick to beat City with, who'd have thought it

Absolutely this. Deloony, Harris, McKenna and McGeehan were sent over the edge of sanity and beyond by the centurions season and then the quadruple

Guess who is writing about the SPortswashing Derby?

Predictable. What annoys me more are the City fans who spend hours fighting our corner on there. Don't. The Guardian do it to appeal to annoyed Liverpool and Man Utd fans. It's so transparent. All you do is provide a focus for argument and give them the interest and discussion they want. Just don't comment.

The Guardian are the biggest City hating wankers of them all! I’d rather read The Sun’s take on City than The Guardian. Their attitude towards us fucking stinks!

Ste called it right:

Why the media will always seek to diminish Manchester City

Why the media will always seek to diminish a successful Manchester City despite their brilliance in the Premier League.

Cannot understand it as both City and the Guardian came from Manchester's strong non conformist tradition. Why they have turned on us over the last ten years is a mystery. Stopped reading when it became full of " woke'" bullshit.

so true, darke and jenas were a disgrace last night but thats BT for you - the hate us

Darke was a absolute disgrace last night, utter tosser.

Considering the historical links of that newspaper to Manchester the fact that it runs with an anti-city narrative is an absolute disgrace.

This is genuinely pathetic now. It reads like a Liverpool/United fanzine, and even then I would cringe badly at this sort of shit.

Just don't understand Wilson anymore.
Really enjoyed the articles he put together in the Blizzard (I only really read the first half dozen issues) however his msm content has continued to spiral into the absurd.
I think he's disappearing up his own arse.

He’s so far down the rabbit hole that he’s lost all sense of perspective. Either that or he’s just become a click-bait merchant. Either way it’s a bit degrading and his credibility is shot.
