It's the fawning over them that gts me, we know why they do it, for commercial advantage all the arm chair Home Counties United fans need their football ego's tickerling, but it does got on your nerves and I am sure we are not the only ones who find it annoying, and unreadable

i feel more and more ar seeing it for what it is more so ssn and bt coverage

The narrative has already been written

We will read this constantly from the Rag infested football media up to the FA Cup Final and after it, especially if the Rags beat City and deny City the treble. Arsenal and Real Madrid can deny City the treble before we play the Rags.

To be honest it’s all already sickening the fawning that’s going on over United after their stuffy win against Brighton. Some of the articles, which I won’t post, are absolutely laughable and child like. And just for good Rag football media measure, United have made a move for Harry Kane (again) for next season.

This is exactly why I was hoping we would meet Brighton in the final.

A much tougher test mind you, but at least it would have shut down the rag media noise.

Is it possibly the reason why Sevilla fans did the Poznan against the scum and Southampton fans also did the Poznan against Arsenal?

Is every other clubs fans just sick of the attention given to the cartel clubs or is the Poznan just a fun thing to do?

Will Bellingham stay or move? The view from Dortmund

BBC Sport speaks to Borussia Dortmund experts to ask if the club's star player, England midfielder Jude Bellingham, will make a big-money move this year, or remain in Germany.

A brief mention of City once but apart from that nothing, it’s like they think if they don’t mention us then it can’t happen.

Spot on... It also needs looking at in a historical context. Football was the working man's game - it's rise to popularity was due to workers being given saturday afternoons off. Teams from Mill towns like Rochdale, Oldham etc. drew massive crowds - more than some Premier League teams get now!
However, with the closing of the Mills it was a downward spiral. Wrexham had the same problem with the mines closing, but not everyone will get bought by millionaire actors (or Sheikhs).

Teams' fortunes will always fluctuate.
Look at Stockport County and their recent upturn. Hopefully they will get promotion to League 1, as their crowds are high for League 2.
Oldham Athletic definitely over-achieved under Joe Royle. They also had an excellent youth recruitment team under Jim Cassell, many years ago. What went wrong there (apart from City poaching him and others) ?
Bury, unfortunately, is a smallish town with Bolton Wanderers very close. They need to merge the 2 new teams if they have any chance of regaining League status.
Don't know much about Rochdale, but hope all 3 can get back into the League...

Non league attendance has never been so good. It’s not just that National league where I believe all clubs are now full time but the leagues lower.

Rochdales been mismanaged for years and even with their recent success ( promotion to lge 1 narrowly missing out on getting into the play offs) Rochdals average attendance for the 2018/19 season reached at 47-year high.
The average crowd at the Crown Oil Arena, over their 23 Sky Bet League One matches, was 3,574.
This is the highest average since the 1971/72 season, and is up on the 2017/18 season’s figure of 3,484.
Rochdale averaged 2900 this season 3rd worst in division 2 only narrowly above the ex rags Salford, to blame dales demise on our recent success is laughable from.some.in the media and another example of anything to have a dig at city , likewise let's hope Dale along with oldham can return

What the fuck are you doing?

Research, even if it's just a few clicks in Google isn't allowed in mediaworld!!!!

They prefer the ruining football articles where they just do a cut and paste job with different team/players names, how many hospitals we've not built, how to stop us etc.

This latter one is going to be red hot this next 6 weeks. If the written media still used typewriters the CIOPSTY keys would be worn out. ;)

Agreed but every big club should start the season with the mentality of winning everything they enter. Of course we want to win everything but if you gave me the option of just winning two trophies now I would take it. That wouldn’t mean the season is a failure. She is a no nowt gob on legs whose views are a joke. She is too simple to talk with nuance, she knew what she was saying.

I write this as someone who enjoys ladies football I've watched our ladies play dozens of times live over the years and now watch them on TV or IPTV whenever possible as I've moved 70 odd miles out of Manchester.

Pundits/experts, we have very few male ones who have anything worthwhile to add to any situation, our female ones are no better in fact possibly worse and it's a very low bar to start with...the level they've played at if out of the game before the last 5/6 years was let's be honest pretty dire, it's not that much better even now.

The point I'm getting at is we don't see ex-players from the male game (someone is going to name a few now) who hasn't played football above Conference level filling us with their insights.

Just to again clarify, I'm going to refer any replies that this is a typical sexist post back to my opening paragraph.
