Stop it.

City are the first and second story on the BBC football homepage.

Football - BBC Sport

They weren't last night, someone changed it to the rags, then it was changed back.

We do get some unfair jibes and biased coverage in the press but an element of our fanbase have taken that paranoia and insecurity way too far and have become obsessed.

We certainly don't get ignored.

Fuck em. Everyone hated Man United when they were successful. It comes with the territory.

I disagree about the ignored, there are times when the best team in the National sport winning the best prizes don’t get reported on.

however we have our own club / fan media at times so I get to hear/watch & see what it want.

BBC Sport this morning on the game last night.

"But City were just too strong, some have suggested worryingly so for the competition's sake."

This is where it's catch 22 though isn't it ?? City can't be "worryingly too strong for the competition's sake" while at the same time being brow beaten by the exact same 'journalists' for not having won the said competition ???

It's one or the other - can't be both

Listen, sky sports have got their finger on the pulse.



Need to keep the sheep happy, they can roll the utd turd in glitter all they want, they are still shit.

Couldn't resist it. Second Story on The Independant (was the first earlier).

It appears to list differently on mobile phones, but none of them give us any real prominence. Except the BBC.

We have ABCs. It's a measure of success.

Totally pointless and probably bordering on morbid fascination to keep looking for it, then moaning, then sharing it with us.

As night follows day.

City play well. Talkshite gets the dippers calling in to get their profits off by slagging us off.

Yes I saw that and thought that has to win knobhead of the century for the writer but who is Harry de Cosemo? I tried for an anagram of all the usual suspects without success.

You want to try a bit harder mate

hardcore dreamers?

Taking The fucking Piss Now

however I’m confident we will get on with our professional quiet way of playing a different game to everybody else. ….relax, enjoy the saltiness.

We’ve earned it fellow blues. This has been a long time coming

Thought BT we're surprisingly OK last night

If you take their pre match build up and commentary in isolation you'd be forgiven for thinking that City were the away team.

So did I. Likewise I generally don't get that would up by the BBC. The media generally fall into two camps:

1) Those whose commercial focus sees them trying to get into the mindset of the Man Utd and Liverpool fan, and
2) Those with a political axe to grind who somehow think that the Emirati are a threat to the Free World.

It's no. 2 that are the problem for they are evangelical and will spend their lifetime motivated by MCFC. We know these people very well. They trailblazed the FFP prosecution. That was to be their finest hour. It was not to be but they will never give up.
