MUEN again and again

[steviemc]

The last time the rags won the "league cup" they had 15 pages about it in the MUEN. Apparently what I've read on here we had 9 or 12?
Biased rag paper that I wouldn't wrap my chips in.

That's some impressive investigative journalism. Do you keep back issues for that sort of info?

Nah mate I just made it up, if the MUEN can make shit up and get away with it, so can we.

Fair do's pal. I don't really expect too much from any of the media groups nowadays. Perhaps less coverage may help us discourage bandwagon fans and day-trippers.

We sound like a bunch of Scousers with all this agenda rubbish that has infested the forum.

Okay okay, so the original post was completely wrong, but there was a distinct lack of reporting yesterday of the fact that we won the league cup, on all media news outlets. I recorded ITN and BBC and we got less than 10 seconds combined. Sky showed abit more, but they had the TV rights so they had to get their money's worth.

I thought that I would wake up this morning to find more reporting of the cup final, but nothing but a whimper.

Fuck the domestic cups, let the kids have a run out and throw everything we have in the PL and CL.

Seriously, what's the point anymore? We've had 3 wembley finals since 2011 against opponents such as Stoke, Wigan and Sunderland. Why? coz nobody gives a fook about the fa cup, the league cup or even the England football team. The Fa might as well shut up shop and let the PL run the lot.

Rant over

Jesus Christ, what a tantrum that is - all because in your mind you've not seen enough in the papers.
The paper review this morning on sky news had sub headlines of our triumph on every front page, even the broad sheets. I have no idea what the actual articles were like, however. All the shows on talksport today have mentioned the game. There is a 9 page pull out here I'm the evening news. Sky news actually had a breaking news story immediately after the game.
As for who we have faced, and I'm guessing you mean we have only faced those teams because nobody is taking the two cup seriously? That's a nonsense for a start. Bet big money united would have loved to have been there yesterday, as would the other top teams who, as I type this, remain trophyless. The reason we have faced who we have faced is because in both our FA cup campaigns where we've reached the final, we've knocked 2 of those top teams out in the semi's. United got knocked out by our opponents yesterday in this competition.

Whether we have had enough reporting of the win is up to each person individually to make their own minds up about. Personally I saw plenty of us this morning alone, as stated above, so there's no issue there for me. Others, like you, seem to think the opposite. Either way nothing changes result, so who cares?

Tell you what, pidge, I got back to my hotel last night, turned the telly on and within 2 minutes the highlights of the game were on BBC.

I drove back in the morning and put talksport on and our game was the main sports story. On the show itself there was a piece where they'd put the highlights of the game to music, there was lots of discussion about the game, a feature on the league cup etc. I stopped at the services and could see pictures of vinny on the front of every paper. I got back In the car, put radio 5 on and we were also the main sports story. Got back home, put sky sports on and was almost immediately given reruns of the goals, footage of Pellegrini in London, an interview with Brian Kidd and footage outside our stadium interviewing fans.

These mentalists are running around, sour-faced, bitter and irrational, looking for a bias where none exists, because they suffer from a bad dose of Likkle City insecurity. If it was united who'd won the exact same people would be raging about supposed media overload.

Didsbury Dave spot on.

If anything I have noticed the media sticking the boot into the rags and Moyes rather than big them up which is claimed on here other and other again.

Yerrr!! But apart from that it was hardly mentioned Dave......

We sound like a bunch of Scousers with all this agenda rubbish that has infested the forum.

To some extent I agree.However some are more like 10 year olds following the school bully."It must be right as he says so" they scream.
My Rag mates also shout its more like the MCEN,with the Blues getting bigger and better coverage and I`m not just talking about the last couple of years.They certainly dropped a big bollock over the "empty seats" affair,something which even I couldn`t tolerate,but overall people seem to make their minds up when certain posters continue to make negative threads when in reality theres fuck all to read in to.
Agenda from the MEN against City my arse.I`ve lost count the number of times we`ve had some wonderful coverage from them.

This was on the MUEN website last week.
Look at the picture and see the figures of how much he gets paid a week.
There is no mention of it in the article which leads me to believe that it was done to counter the negative press the scum were getting with Rooneys new contract.
It was quickly removed.

Think the best way to deal with it is to simply ignore it and not draw attention to it on here. By posting the links etc you encourage people to click through which is what seemingly some/most don't want.
