The media don't hate us at all. They probably love us.
Why? Because the media make money out of us. You think all this bile would be written if there wasn't a market for it?
You are absolutely right that there is a relentless wave of negativity. That is because that is what brings in all those clicks.
If you want to understand how the media works in the digital age, imagine the people viewing the on-line media are in fact voyeurs of porn. We are the most gorgeous pornstar, therefore we get the most clicks. Except people aren't clicking to see pretty cheesy pictures of us smiling and being nice to cats. They want to see us being dirty, and that's what the media gives them.
No money in 'City play gorgeous football.'
Plenty of money in 'City are cheats.'
Fuckinel I've just read that pile of steaming dogshit, there are five very telling words, "no rules have been broken", is that supposed to be his get out of jail card! Ban the fucker immediatelyHarris the Hatchet Man at the Daily United.
Healine article.
You can imagine what most of the comments are, and probably from supporters of Liverpool, United and Arsenal.
When are City going to ban this Rag and it’s reporters from the Etihad? Another attack and smear on the club which has happened throughout the season. Yet City still allow the Daily Mail and their reporters into the Etihad and feed the fucking pigs!!

This.I understand how the media works and I understand exactly what they're trying to achieve through the constant stream of negativity. You can call it whatever you want, but I stand by my previous statement. They hate and fear City.
And I bet Newcastle won’t put up with the crap we have for over a decade. They will go on the front foot from the off. Unlike us and look where that strategy has got us? The media whipping boys where so called journalists can write and say whatever they want, when they want and still get warmly welcomed at the Etihad. I hope Newcastle go for the jugular.Jack Grealish cost £100m. Enzo Fernandez cost £107m. Think about how many times you've heard or seen Grealish's fee mentioned compared to Fernandez's. Why is that?
Our recent title victory has triggered an absoloute avalance of anti-City articles and commentaries. Liverpool have failed to qualify for the Champions League, missing about £100m in revenue. The print and television media is infested with Liverpool fans. The negativity is not coincidental.
Martin Samuel's article about the inherent protectionist corruption of FFP is glossed over, I've seen another decent article about how words and language really matter, they set the tone of a whole narrative, and using the word "fair" in FFP establishes and ingrains the idea that anybody spending and investing money to compete with the established elite, is doing something "unfair" or is "cheating". If they called the exact same rules the Elite Protection Rules ("EPR") they'd achieve the same goals, but nobody would care about them being potentially broken. "Fairness" is what matters, but fairness to who? If Newcastle start regularly taking one of the Champions League places from the elite, they better get their legal teams ready, because that's not "fair".
Meanwhile we'll keep collecting trophies, and giving two fingers to the "unfairness"....
Why should fatty care he's an Evertonian, more to worried about this afternoon I would have thought.
Does he mean 'cheat more'?
Where has it got us? 15 (fifteen) major trophies in 11 seasons. It's almost as if they actually know what they're doing isn't it.And I bet Newcastle won’t put up with the crap we have for over a decade. They will go on the front foot from the off.

But with a totally trashed reputation that has been dragged through the gutter’s and still is on a daily basis. When it comes to PR and the media we have very little idea of what we are doing.Where has it got us? 15 (fifteen) major trophies in 11 seasons.

They don’t need to cheat really when the refs just do it for them.Does he mean 'cheat more'?
