I wondered why a reporter on a paper that hates us should feel a need to contact the biggest City forum at all about his paper's headlines and why any paper should have 2 reports on one match with different content.
I am still wondering.

It nice to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the only reason we get shit on in the media is we don’t get clicks on a positive story for us so it has to be a paid premium because it’s the only way it’ll make them money.

Nice to be proven right but I shan’t be paying for it. I hope whoever it was reads this; fuck off and get a real job

The problem is that that football is broadcasted on most days of the week on dozens of Channels all over the world so TV companies are crying out for ex pros to come on and give their opinion.
The problem is there are very few out there with the level of knowledge and professionalism needed so the broadcasters are basically scraping thr barrel to find someone in a saturated market in which the bar is set so low a limbo dance would struggle to get below it.
The most knowledgeable and credible ex pros are either coaching or managing themselves and usually aren't available.
If you played a handful of times or failed miserably as a manager over the last 30 years it's easy money.
There are a handful of decent pundits out there but most of them are stealing a living.
If you look at most panels of ex pros commenting in a studio these days it's like watching an episode of The Muppets.

This is an appalling generalisation and a gross misrepresentation of those who have , over many years, brought a great deal of joy and happiness to many football fans and many other sections of society.
I find your comparison of these great and good characters to the likes of Michael Owen and danny Murphy totally abhorrent!
 
Bloody hell, Manchester evening news are at it too!

Headline - They top the league... with a little help from the officials along the way

Opening - Manchester City are leaving opponents motionless - with a little help from the officials - as they cruise ominously to the top of the Premier League. West Brom will rightly feel aggrieved at another controversial goal involving Pep Guardiola's side.

What is this shit!

Five points all season.

Sheffield United almost doubled their points tally last night. In January.

Still not a single bite from my rag mates who were gobby as anything a few weeks back.

They are all busy trying to 'Find Guardiola Out' again.

Tbf, they only have to look at the match and post match threads on BM after the Leicester, Spuds and WBA games to find plenty in agreement. I would add, this doesn't include "normal" BM's, just some of the weirdo's that limit their posts to match day.

To be fair to Radio Manchester they said that the Rags had a reality check last night and that City were top with a game in hand in their 8.30 update.
The fact that I was shocked that our publically funded broadcaster produced a factually correct report says it all.

That person is now probably looking for a new job

You forgot to mention Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Steve Mcmanaman and Jamie Carragher.
Upstanding, impartial broadcasters who have never shown any bias for or against any clubs they've been asked to comment on.
