Brilliant article.(bar all the ads in-between)

Read it.

The truth!

Klopp and the legion of City critics are deflecting from their own inadequacy

Manchester City's remarkable form this season has drawn increasing amounts of flak - all of it is nonsense.

Great read

They won't like reading the truth though

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

True. Maybe they need a message from the fans that fans would like to be be assured that they are doing something. That would be a start.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

One of the best English sides I've ever seen in over 60 years of being involved in footy.

But like Nottingham Forest under Clough, it was never given credit for just how fluid and top quality its football was.

Kevin Sheedy alone was worth paying the entrance fee to get in to watch.

But unless 'great' English teams are from the favoured clubs they never get a mention from our supine, venal media..

That was a great side, also one of the best I’ve seen. Players like Gary Stevens and Trevor Steven on their right flank, not great individual players, but the work ethic of those and others took the team onto a higher level. Pity how it eventually turned out with us and Howard Kendall a few years later.

All day long

And I can assure you that fans of most clubs are cheering City on to win it instead of the same old brigade

Would be even better if Everton or West Ham could break into that Top 4 this season too.

But the ones that do read it just won't take it in. There are non so blind as those who do not wish to see

Why do the BBC publish shit like this on their main live match day reporting?

"For all Man City's success and wealth (just look at that squad!) their club lacks the most important thing, a soul. People may laugh but the reason other clubs like Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal amongst others come through hardships is because of a real fan base that helps to push the club on coupled with genuine principles that these clubs live by. Money is part of the modern game but aside from this what do City have? A belief in the academy? Loyalty from players? Or fans? I don't think so. Would Pep stick around if they were still at Maine Road without the wealth? They can't even fill their own stadium at the best if times. Yes they'll win the league but they won't win the hearts of football fans.
Alex, Yatton"

Absolute fanboy bollocks getting a platform on a publicly funded broadcaster. No way would that be given the light of day for any other club.

Just came on to post the same, it is a complete disgrace, like a bunch of rag children running the bbc.

[Bluemoonie92]

The fact they announced it before posting that shite made it even worse. Imagine doing that to any other clubs... yeah me neither. Sure he is a massive Yatton red, proper fans them lot.

Loyalty from players? Has he not witnessed the likes of Dave, Komps, Sergio, Zabba et al

Not to mention the likes of Edin, Lescott and the others who just fucking love the club.

Four thousand miles separates your nuts from my foot. I would stay put, Alex.

We’re heading towards a rather frightening 1984-esque future here where our unregulated broadcasters and media are literally telling us what to believe.

This is a stone wall penalty where Salah was ‘hauled’ to the ground according to one of our major news publications.

Meanwhile Foden being taken out completely tonight is glossed over/ignored/claimed to be the right decision.

We are currently in a post-truth world right now and it’s actually deeply concerning.

BBC United at Mediacity, Salford, are at it again.

Neil Ashton must have been on the phone to them straight after the match.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Shame we haven't got any soul.
Imagine how mint it would have been celebrating that Aguero moment.

I’ve sent a complaint to them and asked for an explanation of their moderation policy. I have never seen anything that blatant and i read their comments often. I doubt I will get a reply.
