I was working last night and missed the game, although I did sneak the odd few minutes on my phone when I could. Just catching up on the match reports etc. Sounds like a really controlled performance from City and hopefully bodes well for the away leg v Real. Obviously hoping we win the game, but it's great that we have home advantage for the second leg.

To be fair everyone is going mad on women’s sports these days as they don’t want to be seen ignoring it or offending anyone.

Sky will also ignore a BT shown game although my guess is a team in Red would have got a bit more coverage no doubt.

Whenever an article looks at past links to slavery/racism there is a very strange and angry reaction to them - usually the headline - as I doubt people actually read them.

I am confused where we stand on this now. If there is a headline that is clearly clickbait and we disagree with it, do we have to click on it nevertheless to read the article to see if it is more reasonable to us than the headline before we comment on it, or are we supposed to just discuss the headline without giving them the benefit of the click? Which is it?

Exactly.

While there is no doubt we are not popular with the red supporting journo's and a certain amount of individual bias is in definitely in play,what we are mainly witnessing is a product of the society we have created rather than the excessive paranoia that exists on these pages.

I have listened to a few media outlets since we brilliantly claimed our victory last night,and i have heard nothing but positivity and congratulations.
 
I'll be in Asda later, searching for a City picture or report in the papers and leaving the paper open, displaying the pic in the store. No way will I buy a paper; gave that up long ago.
I was at a mate's yesterday and his mum had the Daily Mail with a large pic of Haaland on the front, wearing a pair of pyjamas which, they reported, had cost £2,400 out of his £853,000 a week wages.
Must be true, I thought - it's on the front page!

Most newspaper sites sports sections and their top stories are clickbait which i would advise everyone to either ignore or realise that the headlines bear little resemblance to the actual story.

Name some examples because all I’m seeing is negativity. I flicked on Talksport this morning, something I rarely do just hear what their take was. All I got was McCoist laughing at 2 City fans who had phoned in, they weren’t given the time of day and Brazil actually said “jog on”. They were laughing like hyenas and got the Coral rep Simon Clare on, he said “ I’ve not laughed as much in ages” he’s a Tarquin btw. It was terrible radio and the bias was left, right and centre.

Worth bearing in mind that talksports business model is effectively based on trolling football fans - I imagine Jordan bigging us up yesterday will have generated a few red clicks and calls and made sure the outraged were listening to as many Betfair/Paddy power/selco ads as possible
 
BBC Breakfast, absolutely no mention of City, or even any sports news from Metal Micky from 8 pm until the end of the programme. United fan Nina and her chum were happy to spend yet another 10 mins 'previewing' the Eurovision song contest, yet again, with good old Rylan. Plus lots of other non political stuff as they are completely controlled by this government and the directive is 'no politics at all costs' hence the constant flow of inane stories and charity records being set !

Missed that but I was listening earlier this morning and Brazil stated that he hopes City win it. Give him his credit he said the same last year. Bit of banter with fans or even disagreeing with a few points our fans say if that’s what happened this morning isn’t a big deal. We disagree on here between each other all the time.

Fair enough, the bit I heard was not great radio.
