Did you read the "snide" article about Ederson?

It's actually a long in-depth look at why the people who say he's performed badly this season are almost entirely wrong.

Yes but no one is saying "Ederson is playing badly" (other than a random few on this forum).

The BBC are planting the seeds in the headline to the casual football supporter.

You don't see an article about how woeful Nunez is... or how poor Van Dijk's been this year.

Ignore any mention? Did you read it?

The city is inland and was never directly implicated in the slave trade; Liverpool did its dirty work. By the time Manchester became the third-biggest port in the country, thanks to its canal, slavery was long done and dusted. Yet, when the coat of arms was devised, the city was booming off the back of enslaved labour in the US.

Right so Manchester made those cheeky, loveable scousers do it. Well I never, imagine it not being their fault.

Same old shit from the Daily United.

A truly shockingly negative headline and article about Pep and the team, instead of being positive and upbeat after a great 3-0 1st leg win against Bayern Munich. Along with the usual stock picture of Pep looking annoyed and frustrated.

Imagine the positive headlines and numerous positive articles in the Daily United if the Rags were taking a 3-0 lead to Bayern Munich in the CL tonight.

F*cking c*nts!

Please!

City are 3-0 up. Where’s the negative spin on that? And do you think Pep is going to tinker with the formation and team to night? Like I said, if it was the Rags, Tent Peg would be the best manager in Europe, and United would be the PL ‘s only hope of winning The CL. I think you know the continued, deliberate and negative football media narrative by now.
 
In all of this if and it’s a big if we win the treble will we get the recognition we deserve? Going off our quad season me thinks not.

If we don't win the treble well get the recognition no worries.

I don't think the media realise tbh. Their hatred is our fuel and fight. They're helping the club.

What an absolute load of bollocks.
Hattenstone portrays himself as a City fan as well.
I am proud of Manchester‘s , heritage leading the way with the Industrial Revolution. If my understanding is correct didn’t we also have history of supporting the abolition of slavery In America.
The line about the golden eagle on the badge had a “whiff of Nazism”.
Fucking disgraceful journalism.

He needs to get himself down to Lincoln Square in town and then have a read of a few books in the nearby library.
 
Fair and balanced from Sky Sports, as always.

x 1000. I do not think and have never thought, that the ship on our badge was anything to do with anything other than the fact that the ship canal was built around that time. As far as I am concerned that remains the same. JMHO

EDIT: I don't want the bee to represent us thank you. That is a personal prejudice I admit because I have an aversion to bees!! :-)

I agree. I would be interested in hearing what Gary James has to say on the subject.

I like the bee, but I like the ship more

If you read the article, you'll see that Ederson's stats are well down this season - and I've heard plenty of mentions of it, particularly the "conceding first shot he's faced".

I've also seen tons of mentions of how poor Van Dijk is, and discussion about whether he's lost it. Not seen any long articles breaking down the stats on why Van Dijk is actually still doing really well - which is what this article does for Ederson.
