What happens is we post screenshots of headlines, peole google the article, click on it, and the same clicks happen (if that really matters), but with now an additional percentage of google searches registered. I get it is from a good place, but the obsession with not posting links is at best misplaced. Don't post them, don't click them, ignore the lot if it pleases you or you think it makes a difference. Others will though, don't let that upset you more than the articles themselves.

Far far fewer people will bother Googling the headline than will click on a hyperlink. Anything that lessens the interaction they get from here will make me happy.

There is Treble talk around March of most seasons if Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City are going well and I've always thought, 'Nah, I don't really want them to do it'.

But with this City team, you almost felt it was inevitable because they're that good. In all honesty, it's a pleasure for our 1999 team to be ranked alongside them as well as vice-versa because they are phenomenal. It doesn't reduce our achievement whatsoever.

Only special teams can do it. I watched the game on Saturday night and heard Guardiola say how incredibly difficult it is to win the Treble. What we did was brilliant and the same goes for City.

Yes I understand how it works (in principle, not being in the industry), I was questioning this statement:

"I am genuinely convinced the most negative detractors of City get most of their engagement (thus exposure and revenue) from Bluemoon and Bluemoon users on Twitter, Reddit, etc."

Whatever the methodology, I find it hard to believe that statement is true in any way, shape or form.

Wasn't he referring to people re-posting links on online forums generally rather than just BM (although I would imagine a hefty chunk of it comes from here!).
 
Is anyone listening to Jim & Jordan on Talk Shite this morning? Should be interesting.

That's probably not true to be fair as they'll get far more interactions from opposition fans although as time goes on they will get more and more from City fans. Bluemoon is just a small subset of City fans.

Fair play to Sheringham, why aren't there more honest and not at all bitter pundits like him around

Not the best picture TBH.

Stern and lack of emotion looking. At that moment.

Exactly what the City hating media want to see.

At least the picture taker got the money shot and won't have to work for the foreseeable future

I hate the old media I really do. These pieces posted with their negative “geo-political”spin are all very well and good but who fucking cares. Does anyone really think the fucking Guardian and Sky Sports - two organisations in terminal decline - have any real influence on anything. Apart from an ageing population of old farts, who actually looks at them (I speak from some personal experience here as an foc). Those thousands of City-mad kids partying in Manchester don’t give a flying fuck…and neither do I. As for the BBC finding Red sad fat bastards in Stockport sticking paper Inter badges on their too tight shirts…again who fucking cares. We’ve got the now and got a big piece of the future…they’re years behind us and old world media ain’t gonna change it.

Ha ha ha .... that's a new one" "state-run". They have had state-owned, state-backed, state funded and now state-run. What does that even mean?

Maybe some of the less stupid journalists are realising that state-owned doesn't really fly if we are being charged with an individual "disguising equity funding" as sponsorship. Anyway, it's amusing seeing the mental gymnastics used in trying reconcile being owned by an individual with their beloved "sportswashing".

I noticed that quite a few of the recently quoted articles refer to us as state owned but also mention our owner as the Sheikh in the same article, make your minds up FFS.

I doubt it's possible with the software used but banning hyperlinks within this thread would help with keeping the interactions down.

They treat the truth with utter contempt

I take your point about the Guardian. Unfortunately Sly Sports News does have a lot of (social media) clout, whether we like to admit it or not. Apart from City fans who have stop watching Sly Sports News in their droves, fans of other clubs, especially the red shirt clubs, still watch it and lap up the anti City agenda and narrative.

Sports-washing is one of the most stupid piles of shite imaginable. The concept is all over the place.

Everyone on that picture is "stern looking" and not all of them are connected to us...
There is no context there... it's obviously before kick-off for a start

Fans of the red shirt clubs are a lost cause. Jesus, I can understand that. United haven't been a threat for a decade but I still hate them with a passion, and, what's more, I have done my best to pass that down to the next generation.

More fans of other clubs are seeing what is happening with City all the time, which is good, but the real change will come when the next generation takes over. They will be saying Charlton, Best, Beckham? Who the fuck are they? Ri-who? They will have grown up with Haaland, de Bruyne and hopefully Foden. This is a long-term war, imho, forget the minor skirmishes.

I completely agree with you here. What is the point of posting negative articles. The hacks have nothing to say, never have and never will. Who cares what they write as its the scribblings of a jealous imbecile with no cohesion and on top of that it's also a boring read. It's like posting a comment off RWAK or some other shit red top forum. I stopped reading their nonsense a few years back and I don't miss it

That in fairness is a different and very valid take.
